A Bow with No StringFront

When you speak the secret word, the bow activates and hums ominously. When you then wear the aetherium glove and grasp where the string should be, a crackling line of lightning appears between the horns.
When you draw back the lightning, a thunderbolt forms where an arrow should be. It manifests over the course of a deep breath, after which you can Let Fly. You must charge the bow with lightning to replenish its ammo.
When you draw back the lightning for at least ten deep breathes, deplete your ammo. Your next shot deals + damage (+area, +dangerous), but if you roll snake eyes to Let Fly, the bow explodes ( damage, reach, area, forceful, loud).
