Sounds like a super duper SC killer.

Sorry, but no. You can't order anyone to Fire at Commanders. Because of that, it'd most probably be wasted - except in e.g. arena matches, or assassinations,and we don't need this kind of a weapon for either of those.

Ethereal Crossbow is more balanced version of this. It should be possible to mod the weapon the item gives, to change the precision, range and ammo values to change it, if you wanted. However, I don't think there's point in that.

I agree. Weapons like these are definitely unecessary in the vanilla game, but perhaps you want to make a mod, and you can use it there.

Overpowered.

Ah, well that answers that :-)

How about this: It's a one-shot artifact. Once it's used, it's gone until it's forged again by someone. I believe it would be the only one in the whole game. I wonder what gems would be appropriate for it. I was thinking something other than Death, Blood or Astral, since those paths already give lots of assassination capabilities. I was thinking either Air or Nature, or possibly a little bit of all the elements combined.
