SPECIAL FEATURES

Energy 'drawstring' that can be used in melee attacks, lightweight frame and gauntlet that means only the wear can use the Energy Bow as a ranged attack.

Strengths:
  • Energy 'drawstring', activated by gauntlet and useful in close melee combat
  • Lightweight frame means it doesn't require great amount of strength to carry
  • Draw strength is low due to the 'drawstring' being energy
  • Average range is good for Yuroic and in battles.
  • Able to use a versatile range of ammo
  • Only the gauntlet wear can use the bow in range style or use the energy 'drawstring'
Weaknesses:
  • Unable to shoot long range
  • Not able to fire arrows as fast as blasters can fire
  • Demands a skilled archer
  • Bow frame can be damaged by lightsabers
  • Unable to penetrate heavy armour with arrows due to only average power
  • Energy 'drawstring' can be short circuited by water or cortosis.
DESCRIPTION
After spending so long in isolation on a wild planet, Yuroic spent years training and hunting with a standard bow with normal arrows. When he returned to civilised place, Yuroic decided that he wanted to create a bow that would be effective in combat with sentient lifeform. He decided he would have a bow with an energy edge, using it similar to Lightwhip so that the plasma would bend and fire arrows while being useful in melee combat. To pull the bow, Yuroic also created a gauntlet made from phrik to pull the bow. The gauntlet also ignites the 'drawstring' meaning that only Yuroic could use the bow in range mode as long as he wears the gauntlet. The bow is ideal for combat in close quarters, and the average means that Yuroic can only shoot from a reasonable distance from an opponent.
 
..N..O..N..L..E..T..H..A..L..
To balance this out a bit I'd like to see the reload speed lowered.

Bows will never be as fast for reload as blasters, and you even mention this in the description.

Also, please remove the "Work in progress" tag from your submission.
