The Weeping Bow of the Nightsisters was a powerful, minorly produced ranged weapon that had an ammo capacity limited only by the user's force energy reservoir. Each arrow/bolt is drawn by the user siphoning their own force energy into the bow, which automatically compresses and focuses the energy into an arrow that sits on the web-based string. When the string is released, so too is the energy; the range only limited by how much energy was siphoned into creating it. Regardless of how much energy goes into the bolt, however, it passes through most armor types without dealing damage to the armor itself.
The arrow caused very little direct physical damage, aside from knocking the target back or onto the ground. The energy does damage the target's life force, however, draining away their essence in The Force and weakening their physical form. This often leads to internal failures of organs, the nervous system or other integral components of the body. This means that little bleeding occurs from the impact of the arrow itself, but may internally occur from the effects of drastically losing life energy in such a quick and violent manner.
This great power all derives from the tree of which is used to create the bow. Bark from "weeping trees" deep within the Dathomiri Rain Forest are used in the creation of these bows. These trees get their name from their detection of Force Users and the subsequent sounds their emit when in close proximity of non-witch force sensitives. A deep, sobbing weep can be heard through the force by both Force Sensitives and Non-Force Sensitives. As the Force User gets further away, the weeping gets quieter and as the user gets closer the weeping gets louder. The bow, however, is not directional and cannot pinpoint an FU it can only alert of one's presence and proximity. It is also during a time when a Force User of non-witch origin gets close that the bow emits an Aura of Uneasiness that effects nearby living beings; unless they are holding a bow themselves.

Deep in the rainforests of Dathomir is a species of tree that is known by the Nightsisters for its ability to absorb Ichor. When a Nightsister wishes to take on a bow of their own, they must go into the forest and cut the bark from a tree on their own. They must then collect the other necessary components, including the web from a gapping spider which is then imbued with Magick and used as the string. The entire bow takes usually a week to construct.
