Piercing Shot. As an action, you can expend 1 charge to shoot an arrow forward in a line, which is 1 foot wide and 150 feet long. The arrow passes harmlessly through objects and ignores cover. Each creature in the arrow's path must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes damage as if they were hit by a ranged weapon attack, plus an extra 2d6 force damage.
Explosive Shot. As an action, you can expend 1 charge to shoot an arrow imbued with explosive energy to a point you choose within 150 feet. Each creature in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8 force damage and is pushed 10 feet away from the point. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage, and isn't pushed.
