| Since the bow is
created from the Idolon Emblem, Shade's modified Soul Crystal, any
damage to the bow will cause severe damage to his physical and
mental health. Even if the Idolon Emblem is repaired, there is
no guarantee that the damage will be fully reversed.
The arrows are created from the Vega Crystal shard
and each shot fired draws upon Shade's own mental energy so the more
shots he fires, the weaker he becomes. For the offensive attacks,
the number of arrows he can shoot depends on the amount of
destructive force he puts behind it. At the absolute minimum, which
is the strength of a normal arrow, he can use 30 arrows.
The healing arrows, if they succeed, drain twice
as much power at minimum strength and can only heal superficial
injuries (15 shots). A healing arrow at medium strength can heal
cuts and bruises (6 shots). The strongest arrow can heal
life-threatening injuries but it will cost all Shade's strength; he
will be essentially dead. To regain a solid form, he first has to
wait until the person is fully healed, then he needs to return to
Shen-Hu and draw power directly from the Vega Crystal in a very long ritual. |
