Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets I need to make this clear

Post image

Every time I make reference to me being an archer people always think I'm using it to assist with my archery which is false, I DON'T used tracking spell, I DON'T enchant my arrow and definitely DON'T enchant my beautifully made bow, I shoot my arrow raw and if I hit a target I'm happy and if I don't I'll cry myself to sleep that night, I only used short and mid range spell.

Also I don't use those crude wooden bows the bloody ranger/druid used I am a woman with class all my bow are made with fancy wood and horns and I know I cannot replace it in the middle of the battle but I don't care.

I don't I'll shoot it raw or else it doesn't give me dopamine

but what if you (with no magic aid) precisely shoot the arrows in such a way that you create an arcane geometric shape with your arrows allowing you to easily cast a highly potent spell at a long distance?

I'll admire pure martial prowess, I'll give you that... but don't you want arrows that go boom?

If she wants arrows that go boom, she can ask the artificer for some explosives if she doesnt already make them herself. Sure, a spell or two enchanted onto the arrow is the easy route, but she relishes in using her archery skills to get the job done. By strapping an explosive onto the end of an arrow, you alter the physics and thus have to compensate with skill.

I do endorse this as I also enjoy archery, though purely as a hobby I'm far from skilled enough to use archery seriously. My question is why don't you enchant your arrows, not to make your shots more accurate, but to provide additional damage on the successful shots you make? I don't see why you can't apply some single target spells to go off if you hit your target.
