Bumping this again, something, something, long wait on initial post.

And yes, this is the second time I post this, so what does the move lack so far?
Quote:Nargacuga Greatbow
A masterfully crafted greatbow, firing fletched spears like arrows designed to take down monstrous foes.
Cost: 1,200 OM
Requirements: Physical Strength, Ranged Proficiency, Area Attack Proficiency, Homing Proficiency
Crafted from the bones and sinews of the Great Nargacuga Wyvern, this 7'6" feet tall bow fires greatarrows, literal fletched spears to strike down large beasts and dragons similar to what it was made from. The amount of force required to even draw the bow prevents full powered rapid fire from any but the strongest of wielders. Properly harnessing the bow's draw weight requires an extended overdraw, which takes Meriwa 3 seconds to complete, but its arrows can be fired much more quickly at a shot a second though this is done at severely reduced power. The quiver, situated at its wielder's back contain up to 15 standard greatarrows, almost fletched spears, which continuously refill at a rate of one greatarrow every 10 seconds. The inlaid runes can be used to completely fill the quiver in bursts, but this drains stamina equivalent to a light 100 meter jog. A combination of different arrow types and runic activations allow for several firing modes:
"Standard" Greatarrow
There is little to nothing standard about these massive projectiles, looking very much like someone has glued fletching to a bunch of spears. Designed to bring down large monsters and beasts, a shot at full charge is very powerful, even at long range.
Greatarrow, High Explosive
The head of this massive projectile is oversized, even for the Nargacuga Greatbow's massive ammunition, and inscribed with runes harkening to volcanoes and foul-tempered beasts. The spear energizes in flight, glowing red, and detonates in a wave of force and shrapnel upon impact, or after 5 seconds should it not have struck something by then, with an effective radious of 3 meters. High Ex Greatarrows takes the space of 4 normal greatarrows and requires an additional second of charge to activate the runes, even while quick-firing. High Ex Greatarrows do less damage than the standard variety due to being worse penetrators and some of the impact energy being used to activate the explosive runes.
Wolf-Hawk Targeting Rune
Named after a species of agile raptors at home in the twisting branches, canopies, and undergrowth of the Tangled Green, these runes significantly reduce the speed of fired greatarrows in return for giving them homing properties. As long as the bow's runic sight is kept on target for the locking period of a second, the projectile will eventually strike true. Any arrows fired with these runes active will give off a visible light-blue glow, same as the geometric rune-sight, and swerve to avoid obstacles in their path.
"So you'd pursue the deeper truth? It isn't one the weak could bear."
"Prove yourself ready to face it. I'll not hold back. My needle is lethal and I'd feel no sadness in a weakling's demise."
"Show me you can accept this Kingdom's past and claim responsibility for its future."
