Ice Fang Bow (Magic Bow)

This bow, made of ivory and mithril steel, is believed to have been first created by the Elder Craftsmen of Niflheim (an area of the Gray Waste). Duplicates of the ice fang bow have been crafted by human and elf wizards ever since. The main function of an ice fang bow is to create ice arrows from water vapor in the air. The user need only pull on the bowstring and release it; the arrows are created instantly, but may only be fired at a rate of two per round, to allow the bow time to recharge.
These magical arrows are +1 on attack rolls and cause double damage (2d6 hp damage for normal flight arrows) vs. fire-using and fire-dwelling creatures. If used against any other sort of being, these arrows are merely +1 on attack and damage. Each ice fang bow can generate a total of 1d100+50 ice arrows before its magic fades. A discharged and nonmagical ice fang bow is still finely crafted and worth 1,000 gp.
Unfortunately, in hot climates (120 °F+) the effective range of these arrows is halved. In environments where the temperature is over 300 °F (certain Inner and Outer Planes and the affected area of a fireball spell), the ice arrows cannot form. If normal or magical arrows are fired from this bow, they do not gain the bonuses against fiery creatures, and the bow performs in all ways as a normal bow.
