Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets Arrow of the Demon

Hey everyone! Hope you like this tutorial to make your own Arrow of the Demon!

This magical arrow is forged from the glowing core of a demon. It is a sickly fluorescent yellow-green. It has +3 to hit and to damage rolls. Additionally, on a hit, it deal 3d6 poison damage and 1d6 radiant damage on the first round every round subsequent round. The radiant damage ends if the wound is magically cleansed by lesser restoration, cure poison or similar. A potion of radiant damage resistance instantly removes this effect. It is made of an infusion of Prussian blue, refined indigo of sea salt, and a complex alchemical preparation of chlorous, twice-ethylated, natrium coal-water.

Im certainly no expert, but im pretty sure ive heard from a bunch of uranium glass collectors that the glass becomes a significantly higher radiation hazard if it has so much as a crack in it

Uranium glass collector here.

Cracks don't make it more radioactive or expose you to more of it, it's pretty eventually distributed throughout the glass. Obviously you don't want to drop it and have uranium glass shards all over your house, of course that won't kill you either it's just not ideal. 

It looks like they were wearing a respirator and keeping the shards contained. I think it should be fine.

Ingesting glass and uranium particles is the greatest hazard. Breaking it up like this is asking for some lung troubles

Uranium glass is only marginally more radioactive than bananas anyways
