Not an ordinary Archer bow
Magick bows belong to Magick Archer rather than Archer. Warfarer is the other Arisen vocation included in this family. Pawns cannot become those vocations, so an Archer Pawn cannot use a magick bow just because it already uses a physical bow.
For the vocation and its unlock route, use Magick Archer. For physical ranged equipment, use bows. The distinction should come before comparing any numerical values.
Herald's Helix reference
The shared table also includes Dragon’s Breath. Its recorded acquisition is shop at Volcanic Island Camp. Read the source and access notes before treating it as an available upgrade.
Herald's Helix fills this catalogue's previously missing magick-bow example. The item source identifies Awaran's Arms in Bakbattahl and a reference shop price. Buying the item does not itself unlock Magick Archer or prove the buyer can currently equip it.
2 selected magick bows records. Base reference values before enhancement, reviewed 2026-10-12. This is not an exhaustive list or a current-patch gameplay test. Each name links to its canonical acquisition record; the row's source supports its recorded values.

What zero Strength does not mean
The record's zero Strength is an actual reference value, not a missing field and not a claim that the weapon has no offensive use. Its Magick value belongs to the weapon record; it is not the final output of every attack or support action.
Our advice is to compare the active vocation, chosen abilities and enhancement state in the game before making a purchase. Do not import a physical Archer's skill assumptions into a magick-bow setup, and do not treat one shop example as a universal endgame recommendation.
Search and coverage
The Equipment vocation filter in Gear Finder now returns this named example for Magick Archer. The separate family filter still answers the broader compatibility question. No result after adding other search terms means the current sample has no matching row, not that the game has no suitable equipment.
Additional magick bows and expansion weapons need their own acquisition evidence. This page has no hidden damage calculator, automatic story-access check or complete list of vendor inventories.
