Analyze

You analyze the enruned long bow and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The description of the enruned long bow may be freely altered.

The enruned long bow is a Valence Weapon, which temporarily allows the wielder to tap into the energy of various other valences and channel that power in offensive and defensive ways.

The bow is tier 1 of 4.  This means that it has access to the following verbs: DROP, GET, WAVE (Shroud of Shien'tyr).  Bearing both a Valence Weapon and Valence Armor unlocks a special ability (Barbs of Lorae'tyr), which is activated via TURN to inflict a number of damage cycles on a target based on the average tier of the weapon and armor.

Additionally, the weapon will have a standard chance to flare with disintegration damage on successful attacks.  Each unlocked tier allows a chance for another successive flare to occur if the previous one was successful, with diminishing chances per flare.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the enruned long bow for you.

Additional Information

Valence Weapons were designed by GM Kenstrom and GM Mestys.

The original Valence Weapons were exclusively edged weapons, such as swords and daggers. Additional Valence Weapon types were introduced in 2023, with blunt, ranged, and runestaff varieties. Each variety uses similar traps but has slightly different flavor messaging.

Valence armaments are sold at the Beyond Barriers shop.
