An arrow with a barbed tip, shaped of pure black iron.
This arrow can be used as ammunition by any bow. A creature cannot receive any magical protection from a spell of less than 4th level. Mage armour is ignored by it and the attack is rolled against the target's AC before the spell was cast, the spell Shield does not grant extra AC against this attack, etc. If a spell of 4th level or greater is cast in protection against this arrow, the arrowhead melts and the item is destroyed.
If a creature is hit and wounded by this arrow, it sticks into its flesh, and can only be removed by passing a DC 15 medicine check or taking a short rest. When the arrowhead is embedded in a creature, when it tries to cast a spell, it must make a constitution saving throw. On a 12 or greater, the spell is successfully cast, but the creature takes 1d4 fire damage as the arrowhead burns hot in the presence of magic.
