"When the battle flag of a meteor flutters in the battlefield The Goddess of wind and storm snuggles up to him with a smile. No matter the season or the sky. If the Knight of Moonlight draws his bowstring It’s impossible to escape from his arrow. There are no means preventing it no matter the armor or the shield. He defeats the most ferocious enemies And drives away the disaster to befall. He saved the Princess held captive by evil soldiers And becomes an arrow promising victory."
― Song of Lumeire about Tigrevurmud Vorn (Madan no Ou to Vanadis)
"The bow and arrow, once was the pinnacle of weapons technology. It allowed the great Genghis Khan to rule from the Pacific to the Ukraine. An empire twice the size of Alexander the Great, and four times the size of the Roman Empire."
― Raza Hamidmi Al-Wazar (Marvel Cinematics Universe)

Capabilities[]

Users possess superhuman proficiency and skill in the bow and arrow, being able launch multiple arrows with one shot, use the bow as a melee weapon, etc. They can reload the weapon rapidly and efficiently, even with heavy mechanisms like the crossbow.

Applications[]

Variations[]

  • Bowsword Proficiency
  • Composite Bow: a bow made of more than one material.
  • Compound Bow: a bow with mechanical amplifiers to aid with drawing the bowstring. Usually, these amplifiers are asymmetric pulleys called cams (though they are not actually cams) at the ends of the limbs, which provide a mechanical advantage (known as the let-off) while holding the bow in full draw. Such bows typically have high draw weights and are usually drawn with a release aid with a trigger mechanism for a consistently clean release.
  • Crossbow Proficiency
  • Ergokinetic Bow Proficiency
  • Flatbow: the limbs are approximately rectangular in cross-section. This was traditional in many Native American societies and was found to be the most efficient shape for bow limbs by American engineers in the 20th century.
  • Footbow: a bow meant to be used with the legs and arms while lying down and used in the current distance record for the furthest arrow shot.
  • Kyūdō Mastery
  • Kyujutsu Mastery
  • Longbow: a bow that can be disassembled for transportation, usually consisting of three parts: two limbs and a riser, in addition to the string.
    • English Longbow: a powerful medieval type of bow.
  • Recurve Bow: a bow with the tips curving away from the archer. The curves straighten out as the bow is drawn and the return of the tip to its curved state after release of the arrow adds extra velocity to the arrow.
  • Reflex Bow: a bow whose entire limbs curve away from the archer when unstrung. The curves are opposite to the direction in which the bow flexes while drawn.
  • Retractable Bow Proficiency
  • Self Bow: a bow made from one piece of wood.
  • Takedown Bow: a bow that can be disassembled for transportation, usually consisting of three parts: two limbs and a riser, in addition to the string.

Levels[]

Associations[]

Limitations[]

  • Most users need both of their hands to use bow effectively.
  • The user relies on arms and eyes, so Body Manipulation and Blindness Inducement can negate them.
  • The user may have difficulty if fighting in the dark or in specific weather conditions such as rain or snow.
  • May be limited to distant range combat, which can be a problem in close quarters.
  • May become powerless if bow is lost or destroyed.
  • Can run out of arrows.
  • Bows (especially crossbows) can take time to load/reload, so timing is crucial.
  • Those with Supernatural Archery can outmatch the users.
