Description
The Evanescent Shortbow is a bow fashioned from hardened glass. Intricate elven-inspired design is embossed on the bow, and its translucent bowstring is drawn from fine, silver-white silk. The bow draws power from the Ethereal Plane to manipulate light and render its keeper invisible.
Mythic Keeper: Amlaena Gustkil
The Evanescent Shortbow allowed Amlaena Gustkil to be elusive and untraceable during The Great War.
Properties
Shortbow, +1
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.
Translucence
When placed on glass-like surfaces, the weapon becomes invisible, except to its attuned wielder. Furthermore, nonmagical arrows used as ammunition for this weapon gain the Translucent property upon firing. Translucent arrows are invisible, and they dissipate into the ethereal plane after it hits a creature or an object.
Ethereal Quiver
You can use your bonus action to draw an Ethereal Arrow from thin air. Ethereal arrows inherently have the Translucent property. Damage dealt by using an ethereal arrow is halved (rounded down). Ethereal arrows cannot be used as ammunition to other weapons, and they will dissipate after 6 seconds when not fired.
Luminescence
You can cast the Light and Daylight spells, but with either the shortbow or an Ethereal Arrow as the spell’s target. You can only cast Daylight once per long rest.
Transparency
You gain advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide. Furthermore, once per long rest, you can use your action to gain the effect of Invisibility spell for one minute.
