Bow of burning gold

Equipment info

Weapon type: Composite bow

Also known as: Ashul Bow

Prestige information:

Damage type(s): Physical

Acquired from: Ashul, the devilish Lich demi-god

This bow is spectacular. How Ashul got hold of this is unknown, but he certainly hasn't been able to use it. There are burned marks from his bony fingers in the handle, but how much damage he's taken by trying to use it is anybody's guess. It is made of spectacular golden limbs, embedded into a riser of gold, held together by magic. It has roughness in it that is peculiar and it is followed by a strange odour of spices. A pale white flame burns around it but you seem to be able to touch it.
