DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES

• Dark Arrow: Created through channeling the Dark along the strings of the Bow, the Dark Arrow is a physical arrow formed entirely from the Dark Side of the Force; looking extremely similar to the plasma arrows of the Nightsisters of Dathomir. Being an arrow made out of the Dark, abilities like Force Barrier can weaken this arrow with abilities like Force Light serving to eradicate it entirely. It is also nullified by anything that would normally nullify the Force. However, despite the drawbacks, the arrow has its own advantages in that its strikes spiritually as well as physically. If the target is weak of will, the Darkness of the arrow will seep into them, driving them to an uncontrollable anger whilst simultaneously attacking the body (in a manner similar to Force Affliction/Plague).
• Runic Inscription: The bow is capable of holding 6 specially crafted arrows that can collapsed and snapped into form (they are extended and locked into shape by the motion of drawing the strings back). However, the special thing is what can be done to the arrows while they are being loaded. Using the same Runic Array of Ziggra'nar, Pac'mor'ah, Telamath and Korribunious as Lykos' cybernetic arm Kaji het Kal'Vyshde, Lykos is able to inscribe small runic arrays onto the arrow before firing, giving them a vast range of uses. Of course, upon firing the arrow, the Dark nature of the Sith Runes means that the arrow will be slightly 'visible' through the Force and that something that would normally nullify the Force plus Force Light will render the arrow a standard arrow.

Strengths:

• Collapsible so as to be transported easier.
• Capable of firing Rune Inscribed or Dark Arrows.
• Capable of holding up to 6 collapsed arrows (and locking them into shape by drawing the strings back) as well as automatically reload.

Weaknesses :

• Though relatively easy to carry when collapsed, it is still a half meter hunk of plasteel and durasteel, so it is not exactly a breeze to carry constantly.
• Due to being finely tuned to provide the highest efficiency possible, a single knock can mean that the bow will require repairs.
• When creating and firing a Dark Arrow, the bow effectively serves as a beacon of Darkness, something that does not align well with stealth.
