Children of Mana - Equipment - Bows and arrows

The Bow is obtained after completing your second mission. Its basic attack allows you to fire two arrows a second more or less at enemies at a distance.
You will be provided with a crosshair to indicate the direction you are aiming, which within a certain distance will lock on to enemies and allow you to bullseye them without having to aim much. This crosshair will also lock on to trap chests. Certain gems will allow you to fire three arrows in different directions at the same time (one forward, one on each diagonal adjacent to it).

The focused attack will pluck the string of the bow as if it were a harp, and send a musical note flying out that dazes the enemies nearby momentarily to get an attack or two in. This attack leaves one very vulnerable to attack, so use it wisely. Certain gems allow for this musical note to have different effects, such as sending the enemies to sleep, thus increasing the time you have to inflict greater damage.

The focused attack during Fury sends several arrows flying outward in different directions with greater damage capabilities. Certain gems increase the level of this attack, and by doing so increase the number of arrows fired up to about 11 (I tried counting them, but couldn’t).
