Mystic Archery
A Collection of magical ranged weaponry for
Dungeons and Dragons
Spellbinder
Weapon(staff), rare(requires attunement)
This ornate staff somewhat resembles a bow with a ringed
handle at it’s center, though it lacks a string and is too rigid
to use as a normal bow.
Upon speaking the staffs command word an attuned
creature may use the staff to make a ranged weapon attack,
drawing back on an ethereal string that forms between the
ends and generating bolt of magical energy at the center of
the staff. This attack deals 1d8 damage and you can choose
for it to be either force or piercing damage. Additionally if
you can cast any elemental spells you may have the attack
deal that spells damage type instead. You add either your
dexterity(for piercing damage) or your spellcasting ability
modifier, or wisdom if you can’t cast spells(for
force/elemental damage) to the attack and damage rolls
made with this weapon, and proficiency with a quarterstaff
allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll.
Speaking the staffs command word again turns it back to it’s
original state. After this property of the staff is used for 10
minutes it cannot be used this way again until the following
dawn.
This weapon can be used as a spell focus by any creature
attuned to it.
The staff has 4 charges which may be used to cast magic
missile. It regains these charges at dawn.
Hailstorm
Weapon(longbow), very rare(requires attunement)
This mostly plain bow has intricate markings along its inner

This causes the attack to deal an additional 1d6 cold
damage. Additionally regardless of whether the attack hits or
misses its target, the target and all creatures within 5ft of it
must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save they
take 2d8 cold damage as jagged hailstones begin to fall from
the sky above, or half as much damage on a successful save.

or ends it’s turn in the hailstorm takes 1d4 cold damage.
