The Ellianess recurve Bow has one or more visible runes upon its surface, just above the center of the bow (making it easy to merely raise your thumb and rub the rune to activate it). Each rune represents one of the powers of the bow, and will activate when it is rubbed as the command word is spoken.

The arrow that materializes when this bow is drawn is considered as the following arrow type:

Koar-steel tipped, Moon-wood, hunting-tipped (which gives a +26 damage per arrow strike).

Command word(s): "Ellianess" (Vosk Elf for: Wonder). The command word must be spoken.

Effect time: 1 turn (5 seconds).

History: This marvelous bow was created by the Vosk Elf race. The making of its power has been kept secreted from all other races.

Repulsiveness: When this bow is drawn back, an arrow will materialize that will cause x3 damage.

The shot will also work as the potion, "Repulsiveness", and can be used 1 time per 20 points of strength the wielder has.

Table #8 Return to Powers
Spirit Arrow: When this bow is drawn back, a luminescent arrow will materialize that will harm intangible creatures and objects.

If the wielder follows the path of both Healer and Spiritualist, he or she can heal the targeted for as much as the arrow does in damage.

An added 1-D6 damage will be inflicted on an intangible target per Spiritualist spell known.

If the wielder of this bow knows ALL currently installed Spiritualist spells, he or she can "attach" one Spiritualist spell to the arrow without having to cast it (spell-points must be expended to do this). If the spell attached to the arrow is not a damaging spell, the wielder can will the arrow to do no damage to the target (if he or she so wishes), thus benefiting the target.
