Hi.
[spoiler]Nargacuga Greatbow
A masterfully crafted greatbow, firing fletched spears like arrows designed to take down monstrous foes.
Cost: 900 OM
Requirements: Physical Strength, Ranged Proficiency, Homing Proficiency
Crafted from the bones and sinews of the Great Nargacuga Wyvern, this ancient 2.4 meters tall bow fires great arrows, literal fletched spears to strike down dragons and other large beasts so 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. Sympathetic runes, material properties, and tricks during its construction allows the Nargacuga Greatbow to impart ever greater strength to its shots by keeping the bow slightly overdrawn for longer periods of time before loosening it. Relaxing it slightly, letting the arrow settle back in a full draw halts the charge, which can be built for up to 30 seconds. Meriwa can, at her absolute fastest, go through a full sight-draw-knock-pull-center-loose cycle about once every second and not suffer from poorer accuracy. Given her background and prior experiences she does prefer to accomplish this cycle in at least 3 times as long, devoting the extra time to let the bow further charge its formidable shots. Given how higher levels of charge increases the difficulty to keep your aim on target, you only remain accurate up to 4 times your TEC in charge time, requiring the use of the target-seeking arrows runic array if you go past that limit.
Runes inlaid in the grip of the bow allows one to focus, decreasing the power and speed of the arrows, investing the lost energy to give them the property of always homing in on their target, swerving around obstacles in their path. As the runes activate, a magic circle forms like a scope attached to the bow itself (see the gif in the spoiler below for a general idea). Keeping the target firmly ensconced in their mind's eye, the homing property activates, only requiring that the arrow be loosened in the target's general direction. The magic circle is an actinic blue in color, as are the glowing runes visible along the arrowheads and shaft of the arrows that are loosed with this "seeking property" activated.
Essentially this, but actinic blue, not being a pentagram, and having a similar, larger circle hovering by the bow limb.

The quiver, situated at its wielder's back contain up to 15 great arrows, almost fletched spears, which continuously refill at a rate of one great arrow every 10 seconds. The inlaid runes that keep the arrows in place during acrobatic maneuvers can also be used to completely fill the quiver in bursts, but this drains stamina equivalent to a light 100 meter jog.
When the bow is not in use gripping the handle, thumbing a small button there, and making a specific push-twist-pull motion disengages the locks and folds up the bow along four points (just above and below the handle and about halfway out each "limb" of the weapon) into a much more compact form for travel. A push-pull-twist-push, essentially the "fold-up" motion in reverse, while pressing the same button makes the bow snap back out to its full glory. Shifting the weapon between the "travel" and "usage" modes takes about a second either way.[/spoiler]
Well, I fucked up...
