SHORTSHOT/SSHOT GROUND
This is a point blank shot that will strike any target in the room with
the arrow you have selected from your quiver. Due to the close range,
damage will be slightly reduced.
This ability may be used, in conjunction with pitched arrows, to melt
icewalls that block your path. It can also be used, in conjunction with
incendiary arrows, to destroy stonewalls that block your path.
Finally, pitched arrows fired at the ground will melt ice on the ground
and set fire to the location, if the location is flammable.

This ability allows you to fashion the deadly razor arrows. The edge of
this arrow tip causes your foe increased bleeding.

decreased accuracy and damage.

inflicts increased damage on your target.

beloved arrows in a safe yet reachable position.

a worn quiver.

they will perish.

10%. Unfortunately, there is a chance your bow will break on every shot.
=== Hookshot ===
HOOKSHOT/HSHOT <target> <dir> [toxin]
HOOKSHOT/HSHOT <target> SKIES [toxin]
This bow attack must be done with a barbed arrow and you must have a rope in your
inventory. If you strike your foe, you will pull them into the room with you,
knocking them slightly off balance.
This attack will use a barbed arrow envenomed with the specified toxin. If you don't
specify any, it will use the currently chosen barbed arrow, or the first available
arrow in your quiver.
=== Rapidfire ===

again will slow the rate back down.
=== Marksmanship ===
