Crossbow of Illumination - Minor Magic Item

Bolts glow brightly for one hour after being fired from this crossbow, shedding bright light in a 20’ radius and dim light for an additional 20’. While a bolt is glowing it detects as a magic item for the purposes of Detect Magic and other spells of this ilk.

Use this minor magic item in your D&D campaign or in any other pen and paper fantasy RPG. Art and magic item text by moi.

As a little boy, I used to watch the TV show called Nightmare it was largely based on DnD... oh the memories :)

Holy crap! Never heard of Knightmare before and my mind is kind of blown right now. Love the trippy graphics and the whole concept of the blind dungeoneer being maneuvered by the team of players through a virtual dungeon is awesome!

Would definitely come in handy for a Dungeoun Crawl !!

  • Definitely not an Assassin's Tool
  • Light would become a non-issue with this Weapon; just fire in an arc to light up the whole place !

Pretty cool... Following you

Thanks primal-buddhist - followed you back! Potentially lots of uses for this in the hands of a creative PC. A thief or any PC without scruples could use this in a scam , selling "magic" crossbow bolts to a rube and hightailing it before the light and glow of enchantment wear off :) Attacking an enemy position at night with this weapon would light them up in a spotlight while you and allies could maneuver in the darkness and rain missile fire down. And of course in the dungeon lots of uses in the exploration context.

I hope to post many more "minor" magic items that have fun uses but aren't overpowered - great to drop into low level campaigns for extra flavor :)

Cheers
