The bow is made of an unusual dark metal, black at first glance but glinting with a blood red sheen in the light. It is long, but light to carry.
When you nock an arrow on this bow, it whispers in Infernal, "Let it be done." When you use this weapon to make a ranged attack, you can, as a command phrase, say, also in Infernal "May she never be forgotten." The target of your attack becomes your sworn enemy until it dies or until dawn seven days later. You can have only one such sworn enemy at a time. When your sworn enemy dies, you can choose a new one.
Before the end of the seven days, if your target is still alive, you know their general direction relative to you, but not their distance. You will also know if they die within that time, at which point you can choose a new sworn enemy.
When you make a ranged attack roll with this weapon against your sworn enemy, you have advantage on the roll. In addition, your target gains no benefit from cover, other than total cover, and you suffer no disadvantage due to long range. If the attack hits, your sworn enemy takes an extra 3d6 piercing damage.
While your sworn enemy lives, you have disadvantage on attack rolls with all other weapons.
Proficiency with a Shortbow 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.
Vex. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.
