Arrows (Ammunition)

Arrows are projectiles launched by bows. Arrows are culturally relevant on Welt as their usage has been observed in most if not all races capable of tool making.

# Dalmer arrows

Dalmer use trick arrows composed of either a USHA or a shaft, fletching and specialized arrowhead.

## Unified Shaft Attachment

A Usha is a shaft designed to be attached to an object that will serve as its arrowhead. The shaft provides the projectile with a straight projection path when launched and its deployment when necessary. For example, attaching the shaft to a grenade will ensure the explosive detonates upon contact and without pulling the pin being necessary. Another application is attached the shaft to a hack tool, ensuring the target is pacified upon contact. A final usage is attaching the shaft to a napalm canister, which ensures the napalm is released over the enemy underneath.

## Arrowheads

The Dalmer make use of a wide variety of arrowheads which they use for a great number of applications.

### **Offensive Arrowheads**

#### **Warp Arrowheads**

Warp arrows teleport the target away from the combat zone. The enemy is teleported to a prison, or just far away from the shooter. Work using banishing technology. Banishing teleports a target to faraway areas whatever is hit. This depends on the power of the target. These areas are sometimes prisons where criminals are sent to colonize faraway lands.

They are made in ovens from strapping a beam energy dagger to a shaft. They immediately shut down and deconstruct robots. Beam energy is a form of plasma energy.

The rope is incredibly sturdy, made from the tresses of dead anthropomorphs taken from tombs and soaked at midnight in the deadly wine of the yuccas tree.

#### **Suction Cup Arrowhead**

### Arrow technology

*Main article: Built in weapon functions*

The Dalmer apply many of their mysterious technologies to arrows, the most notable of which are arrow security, disappearing arrows and weightless arrows.

## Other race Arrows

The other races make use of special arrows as well. they are the first to have been observed using elemental arrows and even incorporating magical elements into their arrows.

#### **Duplication ritual**

Two demons have this ritual, the arrow demon, and the elemental demon.

The arrow demon ritual requires four multishot bows, a thunderblade and a flashfreeze staff. The bows must be given to hostile other race warriors. The ritualist must then dodge a salvo of all bows firing at once. Once this happens, what the ritualist is holding at the time of the ritual will duplicate itself. Once the other race members are defeated or run out of ammunition, the ritual is ended. Since the duplication effect only works on non durable things, it isn’t an issue for inflation except for that of weapons ingredients and foodstuffs.

#### **Arrow Ritual**

Requires shooting through a fire into a tree. The ritual multiplies the arrow into three or five arrows. Shooting into a pot fire also works.
