This article is an example of a permanently magic item that can be created via the rules. It thus serves to demonstrate, when read along with the other such example articles, that the rules are both immensely flexible and very light on fudgery.

This is a small longbow of very high quality (Q7), of self-composite make and a fairly high pull strengt (Strength 8), rendered magical by Sláine of Ulster via the Endowing method, but not crafted by him (the name of the bowyer is unknown). Sláine of Ulster is a character from the Ärth setting, and the characteristics of the Finger are not a secret, although not all characters know what they are, and very few know them in detail.
