Description: Grudge has, with the inspiration of the Nightsister's Energy Bows, a larger, more powerful variant of the energy-based weapons. The bow is used for long to mid-range compact, seen by its increased size and larger draw-string for increased range. To boot, a scope was implemented onto the bow, allowing users to zoom in up to five times a human's normal sight. The plasma arrows, using their plasma-composed ionic charge, allowing them to an increased effectiveness against droids and droid alike. The Wood-section, mainly the limbs of the bow, are composed of Body Wood, a particular wood that glows a pale pink.
A grip, composed of hardened leather, was implemented into the bow as well, allowing the user to not harm themselves when using the weapon. To add, a leather nocking point was added, generally where the back of the plasma arrow would knock against before being fired, allowing the user to draw the bow and fire without harming themselves. As mentioned above, this is a long-bow, and being one of the bigger variants of bows, it is slower. Quick-drawing is not advised, primarily due to the plasma-based strings that could be used to bludgeon or burn the user's targets. Also, due to its size, it is advised that the bow is used when stationary for optimum accuracy. Otherwise, the bow becomes exceedingly harder to land shows from afar with. Also to mention, the arrows are slightly larger than Nightsister Energy Bows, requiring a more powerful bow such as this one to send the arrows far with sustained accuracy. The increased size and reinforced nature make the arrows more effective in piercing, stabbing, or generally cutting through physical substances such as iron, steel, durasteel and metals of equal toughness. Beyond this, the arrows can pierce through thick hides and flesh.
