Tome of Darkness

The is an Epic Staff found in the game.
==Usage==
When initially used, it consumes 2 energy and spawns the black hole. The following events happen in their respective timeframe after the black hole is spawned: 
*In 0.5 seconds, it starts dealing 1 damage to targets within its range, which will keep happening every 0.5 seconds.
**For some reason, this 1 damage happens thrice every time against spawner type enemies.
*In 0.8 seconds, the swirls around the black hole spawn and start pulling enemies.
*In 2.5 seconds, it spawns 3 spheres that rotate around the center. 1.5 seconds after this, the whole thing will shrink and disappear, concluding the cycle.
**The black hole releases a radial attack upon disappearing. Its size and damage vary according to which state the black hole is in: If the swirls have yet to spawn, it is small and deals 3 damage; if the swirls have spawned, it is bigger and deals 6 damage; if the rotating spheres have spawned, it is the same size as the previous, but deals 9 damage instead. The small radial attack neither pulls bullets nor destroys them, but the other two do.
***Player projectiles are not destroyed, only pulled.
**The rotating spheres deal 3 contact damage.
**Instead of holding the attack button, the player can choose to tap it. Using it like this will always result in the 3 damage, small radial attack, and there's an interval of 0.5s after spawning the previous black hole before being able to spawn another one.
**Aside from the pulling that deals 1 damage every 0.5s, all the other attacks can crit and deal double damage.
*After the first energy consumption, it'll keep consuming 2 energy every second, for a total of 10 energy consumed when concluding the cycle.
==Notable Buff Effects==
* - Reduces the inaccuracy by 5 and increases critical chance by 2.
* - Both the energy consumption and attack cycle happen twice as fast.
* - +1 damage for the rotating spheres; black hole's parting attack's damage becomes 4, 9 and 12 respectively. Pull damage is unaffected.
* - Can be triggered by both the black hole's parting attack and the rotating spheres. If triggered, spawns a smaller black hole, surrounded by 3 small rotating spheres. The projectiles spawned by this Buff have neither the pull nor the parting attack.
*The Buffs do not affect this weapon.
==Trivia==
*This weapon was added in Update 5.5.0.
**Before Update 5.5.2, its rarity was and it could not spawn naturally.
*Before and Tome of Light were added, no weapon in the Staff Category had the Charging property.
**The game's code assets suggest that this weapon is affected by , but in-game, there's no noticeable difference.
*Despite showing 2 damage in its UI information, none of its attacks deal that amount of damage.
* has no effect on this weapon.
*Strangely (and unlike the Tome of Light), doesn't work properly in the Lobby, being only able to consume energy.
