Astral Bow
A two-handed magical projectile weapon that manifests and releases energy-formed arrows, guided by the user’s intent rather than physical line of sight. Crafted by Elysian Greens, it functions as a refined artifact that amplifies willpower to shape and direct each shot. The platform operates silently and requires minimal maintenance, with moderate acquisition cost, relying on the operator’s control instead of physical munitions. The Astral Bow rewards precision of thought and magical discipline, enabling accurate engagement at extended range, including targets obscured from direct view.
“What are we calling it? Luna Bow? Energy Slinger? Something clean, something marketable.”
“It is an ancient and significant cultural artifact and tool. Have some respect for the astral arts.”
“…Astral Bow. Perfect. We’ll make billions. Send it to the boys in Manufacturing.”
