Based solely on its base stats, the '''storm bow''' is an excellent weapon; a +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. 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, as the affected tiles will revert  back to their previous state in less than 100 turns. Just keep an eye out on the rain, to avoid getting slowed or blocked by the water during a critical move.
