Aetherium-Tipped Arrows

• Weapon (Arrow/Bolt), Uncommon (requires attunement)
  These arrows and bolts are infused with Aetherium, a highly volatile arcane crystal that enhances both their lethality and unpredictability.

Properties:

• Damage Type:
  These arrows and bolts deal piercing damage as normal, plus an additional 1d4 arcane damage on a successful hit.
• Arcane Surge:
  When you make a successful ranged weapon attack using an Aetherium-tipped arrow or bolt, you can choose to trigger an Arcane Surge. When activated, this deals an additional 2d4 arcane damage (lightning and force). However, you must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, you suffer 1d4 necrotic damage as the volatile Aetherium causes a backlash of arcane energy to burn through you. This necrotic damage represents the unstable nature of raw Aetherium and its ability to sap life force.
• Volatile Shot (Optional):
  If you roll a natural 1 when attacking with an Aetherium-tipped arrow or bolt, the arrow/bolt explodes prematurely, dealing 1d6 arcane damage to the attacker and any creature within 5 feet. The attack automatically misses. This effect only happens when using Arcane Surge or if the DM deems it appropriate.

Notes: Damage: Force
