Weapon of Speed II (Enhancement)

If the weapon is a bow (including crossbows and pellet bows), the weapon allows the user to fire at double the normal fire rate. Furthermore the weapon automatically nocks or cocks itself, allowing the user to automatically fire one shot first in the melee round. If surprised, the character is unable to react quickly enough. However, in situations of complete surprise, the character is able to fire one shot with an initiative of two.
If the weapon is a throwing weapon, it virtually leaps from the character's hand and darts toward the target at incredible speed. At the beginning of any round that the character has the weapon in hand, he or she may automatically make the first attack, provided the weapon is thrown.
For martial arts weapons, a weapon of speed allows the character to make twice the normal number of attacks allowed by the martial arts style when fighting with the magical weapon. The character must know a martial art style that teaches the use of the weapon to gain this benefit.
