Fire Trap Arrow (Magic Arrow)

By casting a fire trap spell on a tiny and delicate box, then sealing this box inside a special, fragile arrowhead, an elf priest can create an effective flame arrow. In theory, when the arrow hits a firm enough target (anything harder than water), it triggers the spell, engulfing its target in a sudden blaze of flame. In game terms, the head and box must make a single saving throw against crushing blow (as pottery) in order for the fire trap to detonate. Otherwise, the arrow is a dud, though it could possibly be reused against the archer.
The damage caused by this arrow is 1d4+1 plus the variable damage caused by their trap. Even if the arrow misses its target, it still creates a conflagration in the area if the head cracks open.
