This item can cause the creation of shallow and even deep water, which is of dubious use even for amphibians, because of electricity's behavior in water. Otherwise a great weapon, and quite capable of being used for short periods of time without ill effect.

Based solely on its base stats, the '''storm bow''' is an excellent weapon; a +8, +8 longbow can inflict massive damage in the right hands. On top of that, its brand is one of the most desirable possible choices for a ranged weapon, and it provides a useful resistance. Just be mindful of the fact that it occasionally generates rain [[cloud]]s around you, which may turn dry terrain to [[shallow water]] and, eventually, [[deep water]]. This is a rare effect, however, and unlikely to have much impact on your gameplay. Just avoid wielding it while running around [[the Dungeon]] or near your stash and you should be fine.

Desirability

Based solely on its base stats, the storm bow is an excellent weapon; a +8, +8 longbow can inflict massive damage in the right hands. On top of that, its brand is one of the most desirable possible choices for a ranged weapon, and it provides a useful resistance. Just be mindful of the fact that it occasionally generates rain clouds around you, which may turn dry terrain to shallow water and, eventually, deep water. This is a rare effect, however, and unlikely to have much impact on your gameplay. Just avoid wielding it while running around the Dungeon or near your stash and you should be fine.
