Starfire is a Legendary wand for the Wizard in Diablo III. It requires character level 9 to drop.
As of patch 2.4.2, it gained a unique legendary affix (as a free seventh property). It works similarly to Zei's Stone of Vengeance: Lightning damage taken by an enemy is increased based on distance to the Wizard at the moment of the damage being resolved at the moment of inflicting it (not at the moment of cast). As such, it is most useful for the kiting builds, and synergizes well with Halo of Karini or Power Hungry.
The damage buff is capped at 60% at 40 yards, but works at any distance past that limit: it will just not grow any further beyond that range. Damage increase is multiplicative to other similar effects.

Trivia
- This is one of the few Legendary weapons that do not use an original model, but rather a recolored version of a common Grim Wand.
- Despite the bonus Elemental Damage on this wand being Cold, the unique affix specifically augments Lightning damage only.
