Nyxhelia's prison

Created by Greywulf

Nyxhelia's prison is a unique magical bow that has been imbued with the essence of Nyxhelia, a legendary elven archer. Though it bears the name "Nyxhelia's prison" this weapon is more akin to a "cross bow" as it possesses extraordinary abilities. Nyxhelia, trapped within the bow during a contest of skill with a petty witch, has been forced to serve as a weapon for many wielders over the years. The bow fires arrows that can be imbued with elemental magic, and it never misses its target. Nyxhelia's sarcastic and snarky personality, as well as her perpetual state of upset, are a testament to the curse that binds her. Despite the power that Nyxhelia's prison offers, Nyxhelia continuously tries to convince its users to help her find a way to break the spell and end her curse. However, most wielders prefer to keep her as a formidable and reliable weapon, rather than seeking a solution to her plight. The true potential of Nyxhelia's prison lies in the hands of the one who can discover the means to free Nyxhelia from her enchantment. Only then can the legendary elven archer's full abilities be realized, and the curse that has plagued her for years be lifted.

Effects

Elemental Infusion

Once per turn, the wielder can choose to imbue an arrow with elemental magic (fire, cold, lightning, or acid). The arrow deals an additional 1d6 damage of the chosen type on a hit.

Never Miss

The crossbow automatically hits its target unless the target is behind total cover. This effect can be used once per short rest.

Nyxhelia's Plea

Once per long rest, the wielder can attempt to communicate with Nyxhelia. If successful (DC 15 Charisma check), Nyxhelia provides guidance, granting advantage on the next attack roll made with the crossbow.
