Arrow of Charming II (Magic Arrow)

An item often made by priests of Aphrodite, this arrow has a +3 bonus to attack, but causes no damage to the being struck by it. Any human, demihuman, or humanoid hit by an arrow of charming is affected as if the one who fired the arrow had cast a charm person spell. The feelings of the charmed figure develop quickly into infatuation and then love if the one who fired the missile is of the same race or species and of the opposite sex. No saving throw is allowed at first against the effect, though the charm does wear off over time (see the description of the druid spell charm person or mammal). A detect charm spell notes the arrow's influence, and a successful dispel magic cast against 12th-level magic removes the charm
The arrow only affects creature types that are susceptible to charm person spells. It can only be used once. Once the arrow strikes its target, it disappears. If the arrow misses its intended target, it vanishes. If it hits a creature that cannot be charmed by it, the arrow disappears with no effect, just as if it had missed the target.
An arrow of charming is always red in color, with a heart-shaped arrowhead. Note that other sorts of magical arrows may strongly resemble this one. Arrows of charming are always found singly.
