You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. 3 times per day, the Archer can declare that they are casting the lightning bolt spell a level 3, instead of shooting an arrow. When the Lightning bolt is cast a bolt of lightning forming a line 100 feet long and 5 feet wide blasts out from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw at DC 16. A creature takes 8d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The lightning ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried. When the spell is used, the bow damage and base 1D8 damage is lost, and the enemy/target takes the full 8d6 damage just like the spell.
Proficiency with a Longbow allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.
Slow. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to it, you can reduce its Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. If the creature is hit more than once by weapons that have this property, the Speed reduction doesn’t exceed 10 feet.

Posted Aug 31, 20211st off, I love this bow! Will be putting it in my own homebrew collection for use with one of my own characters. A suggestion: You might look at increasing the rarity of the item by adding that the lightning bolt spell becomes the arrow and can travel the distance of the arrow, still at 5 feet wide. Would be a very cool RP visual. Great job on the creation!
