📋 About This Mod
The Tempest is a bow which uses the Bound Bow model but can be crafted, equipped and upgraded like any other weapon. It sports its own unique enchantment. The bow unleashes a freezing storm when firing fully drawn and also improves with your Conjuration skill and the bound weapon perks in that tree.
When you equip the bow it automatically summons special arrows that are faster and suffer less gravity pull. The amount of arrows gets refreshed upon re-equipping the weapon. And there's also another feature: when you equip the bow for the first time it adds the spell "Tempest Cloak" to your spell menu.

It scales with Conjuration skill and bound weapon perks, auto-summons special arrows, and grants a Tempest Cloak spell on first equip. A niche weapon mod for Skyrim archers and mages.
