Certain [[brand]]s can affect the outcome of this spell: [[silver]] or [[steel]] items are entirely unusable. Using a stack of ammunition gives 1 + [[spell power]] / 15 snakes, up to 7. Items that you've placed a {!D} [[Inscriptions|inscription]] on will also not work until you've removed the inscription (though this is an excellent way to ensure you don't destroy a useful item).
 
 
While [[felid]]s can't normally wield weapons, they can wield arrows as a special case specifically for this spell. However, they need to use the [[wield|'w' command]] to do this; as of version [[0.12.0]], neither the "swap weapons" (`) command nor Tiles' point-and-click will handle arrows properly for felids.
