Bow Charge

Using a bow and arrow, the user shoots an arrow at their target to deal low level piercing damage. The user may also up the damage slightly by infusing magical energy into the arrow before firing it off. Bow Charge is either an action or a magic skill depending on whether magic is involved or not. Further training is required before a wielder can infuse elemental magical damage into a weapon or the arrow of the bow.

Manifestation

Without magical usage, the wielder simply primes the arrow into the bow while aiming at their target, and then fires. The speed of the arrow varies on many factors including which kind of bow is being used. With magical usage, the process is mostly the same, only this time, the entire arrow is infused with non-elemental magical energy to increase the damage level on impact, causing the arrow to glow before, during, and after its travel. Sometimes, wielders without a bow who know the skill will spawn a bow and arrow using an additional yellow generation glyphring.
