1. it is widely accepted that despite this new purple color that the monkey staff is an energy based weapon.

2. Are there any other weapons besides the monkey staff that have a purple color notation? if NO, then:

Solutions

1. create an entirely new damage type for purple: personally feel like maybe non-physical damage? or i was thinking becuse its monkey staff with all the CNY lore maybe it could be mythical damage? but then none of these really make sense...

2. Create separate categorizations of energy weapons: i was thinking maybe like out of all the energy weapons, if it has white/blue bullets then it can be called "clean energy", if its red flame then "fire" type energy (incinerator, fire spitter, and hei mk1 are all on the energy based weapons page) and purple could be mystic energy?

Sadly, DLE could run out another purple weapon and then that would mean that we could be wrong. Honestly shoulda made it a yellow for energy save us a lot of time and brain space.
