Haelyn's Bow (Reversible)

When a wizard casts this spell upon a short bow, long bow, or crossbow, the bow gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls for a number of rounds equal to the wizard's level. The bonus conferred by this spell adds to any magical bonus the bow already carries.

The spell takes effect when the first shot is fired and then lasts for the full duration, which is one round per caster level. The first shot must be fired within 8 hours of the casting or the enchantment is lost. Multiple spells can be cast upon the bow, with cumulative bonuses.

The reverse of this spell, cursed bow, confers a -1 penalty to attack and damage rolls for a number of rounds equal to the caster's level.

The material component is a stone arrowhead.

Notes: Common in the Birthright setting; very rare elsewhere.
