Ethereal Bow, Runs on Magicka not Arrows

Post » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:37 am

Am I the only one that would like something like that?



A bow that subtracts X amount of your magicka for every shot that requires no arrows.

I had a mod called "Arcane Arrows" for Oblivion that was like this. It was pretty cool, and I would definitely want something like that in Skyrim.

If you're going to use magicka, why not just fire a ranged spell?

Sounds like the bow sans arrow from the Zelda cartoon back in the day. Which day? Tuesday?

Fire ranged spells, not only being slow, run the high risk of hitting something you dont want it to. Like an ally helping you.

Frost Spells are the same as fire spells.

Lightning spells may be instant, but even then it is sort of inaccurate.




This is more of an adaptation for like a Battle Mage, in the sense that we would still have the mage, just replace battle with ranger. Ranger-Mage :D

You know that's a pretty sweet idea. :trophy:

I don't know if it will be in Skyrim but it certainly could be in Future DLC or somebody will mod it.

Those problems aren't present with arrows?

No. Arrows are fast, they only hit 1 target (Area). And they are very easy to aim.


Do you really see casting a fireball on the same level as shooting an arrow? I dont see how.

LMAO, really? You seriously don't think this is for the Elder Scrolls? /facepalm

Yes, I would like this. Magicka makes all things possible... but apparently not levitation anymore! I suppose that is where mods come in, and if this doesn't make it in either than I assume mods can do something with it too.

Sounds like something from Diablo 2. Idk, it could work, but I would have to see it in action to judge.

I'd like this. Bow could look like the http://images.wikia.com/gw/images/2/2a/Storm_Bow.jpg from Guildwars. Or change depending on the element.
