You can shape your destructive spells into arrows of pure arcane force, loosing them through your bow to strike with deadly precision. You gain the following benefits:
Spellshot
When you cast a damaging spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can instead fire it as a magical arrow from a bow you are wielding (shortbow or longbow). When you do:
-
The spell’s range becomes the bow’s weapon range.
-
The spell requires a ranged weapon attack (Dex-based) instead of a saving throw.
-
On a hit, the spell takes full effect. If the original spell includes secondary effects on a failed save, those effects still apply on hit.
-
On a miss, the spell is lost.
-
You don’t need physical arrows—the spell becomes the arrow.
Spell Form Adjustments
The spell’s form adjusts to suit this magical projectile:
-
Area-of-Effect Spells (like Fireball, Thunderwave): On a hit, the arrow detonates and the original area effect occurs from that point, using the spell’s original AoE and targeting rules.
-
Multi-Hit Spells (like Magic Missile, Scorching Ray): The arrow splits mid-flight into the appropriate number of magic projectiles. Each resolves individually as part of the same attack action.
-
Eldritch Blast: Each beam becomes its own magical arrow. Each arrow counts as an Eldritch Blast for the purpose of features like Agonizing Blast or Repelling Blast. You make separate attack rolls for each beam as normal.
Critical Hits
If one of these magical arrows scores a critical hit, only the spell’s damage is doubled—any conditions, forced movement, or other effects are not doubled.
Arcane Draw
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
Magic Bowcaster
You can use a bow as a spellcasting focus for any spell you cast that deals damage.
