(These sure are a lot of words that make sense individually but sound pretty wild when they're together. )

Like some sort of blood magic?

(The kind of thing you read in stories warning people not to dabble in forbidden spells... or certain conspiracies about not using certain artifacts you have no birthright claim to.

Reaching for his bow, he plucks at the string and weighs it in his hand. Yup, this is his and it's all fine and good but... Hm. He looks around. He doesn't see his quiver anyway.)

Seriously! What's the point of a bow without arrows...

[this is an entirely different sort of conversation than he's ever had with anyone in his life.]

Something like that.

Are arrows something you can make, or do you get them from someone else?

[riegan]

(SIGHING,)

I could make them but the quality would depend on whatever materials I can get. Not to mention, it takes time to make. An arrow's more than just a pointy stick with feathers, after all.

I don't think I've ever seen a real arrow. What do you make them out of?

[riegan]

Wood or metal, usually. Metal is more durable but good luck making one of those from scratch. Wood is easier but the quality really depends on the type of wood you're working with.

(It looks like wood it is, then!)

After that, you need something to keep all of the parts together. Usually string or some sort of glue. You don't necessarily need a head since you can just sharpen the tip but you'll need something to keep the fletching in place..

(Basically, yeah, he knows what he's talking about here.)

You sound like an expert. I'll keep my eye out for anything that looks like it could help you.
