¶ Overview
The Arcane Tower is a late-game defensive structure. If placed in the right spot it can become a crucial part of your defense. Arcane Towers use lightning strikes as projectiles that will not only catch one on fire, but also give them negative potion effects. The Arcane Tower automatically fires upon players who are outlaws or members from hostile or at war city-states and civilizations.
Be sure to keep arcane towers 130 blocks away from each other else you cannot place them!
Single enemies can be outlawed using the /town outlaw add <NAME> command.

¶ Damage
Damage Dealt is quite straight forward. This stat is the damage the tower does whenever the player has been hit the arcane tower. It's counted in half hearts. (2 damage = 1 heart)
¶ Range
Range are calculated from the middle from the structure to the player. If a player is outside of range the tower won't shoot.
¶ Rate
