Magic Bow

Such a Bow is every Archer's dream. It strengthens the force of the arrows, making it much stronger. Magic Bows also have a much higher chance for a hit. Magic Bows come in many forms, and their history is quite long.

Ammunition
Several different kinds of arrows exist by the time of Ultima VII:


 * Normal Arrows.
 * Magic Arrows, which always hit.
 * Burst Arrows, which explode at contact.
 * Lucky Arrows, which are much stronger
 * Tseramed Arrows, which can put Giant Bees to sleep.
 * Love Arrows, whose function should be clear.

History
In Ultima III, there were two kinds of Magic Bow, the +2 Bow and the +4 Bow, both very strong weapons. From Ultima IV to Ultima VII, there existed only the standerd Magic Bow, no other classes were encountered. In Ultima VII/2, a special bow was introduced, the Infinity Bow. In Ultima IX, the Siege Bow and the War Bow of Blood appeared.

Trivia

 * At the beginning of Serpent Isle, Shamino's Magic Bow is exchanged for a bear skull. Thankfully, it can be found really fast after the storm is over.


 * On Serpent Isle, there also exist Serpent Arrows, which act the same as Burst Arrows.


 * In Ultima IX, it is also possible to use Fire Arrows and Mana Arrows.


 * Magic Bows are real killer weapons in earlier Ultimas. Obviously the reason why they were toned down.
