Bow of Multiple Arrows all Fired at Once Movie-Style

A most unusual bow, extra long and carved specially to accomodate multiple arrows (up to fifteen). The bow has been enchanted to hold the arrows in alignment with the arrow held by the archer, making the bow possible to use without the addition of multiple arms. The sheer thought which seems to have been put into the design of this bow brought some warriors to think it was useful, when in reality it only has the power to fire its payload just off screen. Anything fired from it merely tends to bounce of even the softest and most permeable of materials.

An intelligent archer came up with the idea of firing only a single arrow from the bow, which indeed improved performance significantly. On further thought he decided that since the bow was larger and more clumsy than usual, and designed to fire multiple arrows (a task at which it did not excel), he might as well get rid of it and just use the short yew bow his mother gave him. He subsequently foisted the weapon off on a young lad he found (quite literally) in a hole somewhere.

Unfortunately, the enchantment on the Bow of Multiple Arrows all Fired at Once Movie-Style causes any arrows or pointy sticks mounted on its string to glow a sickly green colour. The bow itself also smells a bit.
