Duration 1 round per level
Area of Effect 240 ft.
Casting Time 1 round
Saving Throw none
Level illusionist (2nd)

The bow may be fired each round, causing 2-7 damage on a hit. It caster must roll to hit, though a bonus of +4 is gained; the caster should take bonuses from their dexterity into account, as well as bonuses from hereditary weapons and any other bonuses that would apply to using a bow.

To an observer, the caster appears to be loading the bow very quickly before firing. Arrows that hit and stick in a body appear to be tactile, remaining "real" until pulled out — at which point they evaporate.

The "rounds" of the spell's duration only count when the bow is actually fired. However, once the spell is discharged, the caster must maintain a grip on the conjured bow to maintain the spell. If the caster forsakes this grip, the bow and further use of it are lost, until the next casting.
