Shadow Bow

3-level Illusion

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You weave together threads of shadow to create a bow of solidified gloom in your hand. This magic bow lasts until the spell ends. It counts as a simple ranged weapon with which you are proficient. It deals 2d8 psychic damage on a hit and has the two-handed and ammunition (range 80/320) properties. When you make an attack with it, instead of needing to supply an arrow, you weave together threads of shadow into an arrow, which is then fired and dissipates immediately following the attack. In addition, when you use the bow to attack a target that is in dim light or darkness, the attack doesn’t reveal your position to the target if you’re hidden from it.   If you drop the bow, it dissipates at the end of your turn. Thereafter, while the spell persists, you can use an action to cause the bow to reappear in your hand.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a 4th- or 5th-level spell slot, the damage increases to 3d8. When you cast it using a spell slot of 6th- or 7th-level, the damage increases to 4d8. When you cast it using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the damage increases to 5d8.
