Crystal Arrow

By shooting a single arrow with a tip made out of crystal, magical energy is stored in that crystal, adding slight magical damage upon impact with the piercing damage of the impact. However, crystal arrows are often known for their design to explode shortly after impact, adding a massive amount of explosive damage that can even be used against an armored opponent.

Side/Secondary Effects

This skill doesn't do a lot in terms of damage or pain, unless the crystal is armed to explode shortly after impact, which has a high effectivness on armored targets.

Manifestation

While the initial form is similar to Bow Charge, the wielder creates an artificial arrow with the tip made out of a sharp crystal edge, typically in the shape of a clear pointed heart. The crystal arrow is infused with a very small amount of non-elemental energy, used to increase the impact and force against any hard or metallic object so that it may pierce through tougher armor. While the explosive aspect is optional, most wielders add this into the crystal, using an invisible internal aura with a time-delay upon impact that will cause this crystal to explode, often in ways that damage or destroy armor plating. This explosion does not occur if impact is not made.
