A stringless Aurelion bow frame that draws on a power cell in the riser. Drawing the empty hand back nocks an arrow of coherent force that lights the ground it flies over and is gone the moment it lands. One cell lasts two hundred draws, and the bow needs no ammunition. As an action, you can loose one of three special arrows instead of a normal shot. Arrow of Restraint. Instead of damage, the target makes a DC 15 Strength saving throw or is Restrained for 1 minute. A DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check ends it. Arrow of Transport. Teleport a willing Medium or smaller creature, or an unattended object that fits in a 5-foot cube, from within 60 feet to a space you can see within 10 feet of you. Energy Ladder. Loose a flurry at a wall within 60 feet. The arrows stand as rungs and form a ladder up to 60 feet long for 1 minute.
