A bow with no string
Minor arcanum #50
A short flatbow made of pale blue metal, rigid and gracefully curved even though it’s unstrung. There aren’t even hooks where you could attach a string.
It seems to be of little use, but there is more to this bow than meets the eye. To unlock its mysteries, you must…
Requirements
- ☐ …acquire a glove of aetherium, properly attuned to the bow.
- ☐ …learn the secret word that activates the bow.
- ☐ …charge the bow with lightning, risking harm to the bow or yourself.
- ☐ …spend a few weeks practicing, risking all manner of collateral damage in the process.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.
Back to all arcana.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
