The BowMate is a self-contained magical bow created by the Master Bowyer, [[Sheldon Archer]]. The bow, when not in use, is a thin box about the length of a short sword. When the bow is in use, two ends automatically extend from the box to create the bow-shaft. To fire an arrow, one simply needs to press their thumb on a notch directly behind the arrow-site and an arrow appears and streaks towards its intended target at the user's silent mental command. The device is not fool-proof and arrows will go astray if proper aiming is not used.

The bow - depending on the type desired - costs between three and five thousand gold. More expensive crossbows are being developed, but are not currently available for purchase.

Special preparation and care is put into each bow made and only the individual who contributes the necessary materials can use it. What the "material" is that makes for such a unique bow, is not readily discussed until a definite purchase is arranged.

In addition to the basic BowMate, charge rings can be bought at a minimum of one thousand gold apiece that enhance the arrows shot out of the bow itself. The rings attach to the bow by an unknown force and can only be removed by the bow's owner with a press of the thumb.

At present, there are four ring types:

* Arrow of Accuracy ring (black)
* Arrow of Smoke ring (grey smokey color)
* Arrow of Multiplicity ring (green)
* Arrow of Explosions ring (reddish-orange color)

A fifth ring which combines the Arrow of Multiplicity and the Arrow of Explosions is still being perfected.
