[edit] Usage

Magic Arrow is a useful skill at early levels. It allows the player the ability to use a bow without using up any arrows. This means that if you run out of arrows in the middle of combat, you can still fight until you run out of Mana by using this skill.

Magic Arrow is useful because leveling it up reduces the mana cost, as opposed to increasing it. Also, the damage the spell adds to your bow gets increasingly greater with each level up. Once the skill is leveled to 13 (if you can spare the skill points), it doesn't cost any mana or arrows, essentially making it a free skill to use.

When facing physical immunes in hell difficulty, switching to this skill with even one skill point and +skill gear can be effective.

[edit] History

Far in the ancient past, Amazons found their glorious arboreal city of Tran Athulua under siege by pirates of the Twin Seas. There cutthroats were determined to turn the Amazon islands into their base of operations. The conflict lasted many months as the pirates settled in for a long siege. During the battle, supplies ran short, and the Amazon archers found themselves without ammunition. Realizing that their defense rested solely upon the ability of the archers to keep the corsairs at bay, the priests of the city prayed to Athulua to aid them. In answer, Athulua infused the minds of the Amazons with the power to harness their natural spiritual energies. One by one, the archers melded their determination and will into shards of physical force that they them unleashed from their bows by the thousands, firmly routing the corsairs and driving them back to sea.
