Arrow of Signaling (Magic Arrow)

This magical arrow has a brightly colored shaft, usually red, orange, or yellow in color. It sports a crystalline point. If used as a weapon, it does normal damage. However, if fired directly into the air, at least 100 yards over the head of the bow man, it leaves a trail of glittering sparks behind it from the 100-yard height up to a height of 500 yards, regardless of the type of bow from which it was fired. When the arrow is 500 yards above the archer, the arrowhead explodes in a sphere of light 100 yards across-of the same color as the arrow's shaft. The ball of light is visible for many miles and lasts for 2d4 melee rounds before fading. The arrow disintegrates upon bursting.
