Incorporeal Bow : Artifact

Description

When deactivated, the bow appears to be just a metallic bow without a string. However, once activated, six lights emerge on each limb of the bow (for a total of twelve), and a transparent, luminescent string of energy appears, connecting the limbs as a bowstring. When this string is pulled upon, an arrow of pure energy forms between the player’s fingers and down onto the arrow rest. These bows come in all imaginable shapes and sizes, from recurve bows to composite bows and longbows to shortbows. There have been tales of some experienced archers firing multiple shots at once with these such bows, felling a vast number of foes at once.
