Much lower average damage than spear or staff (21 v 27)

Weighs as much as a spear (18 lbs) which seems excessive.

Imbued bows are much weaker than other imbued weapons. (7/4 v 11/11)

No healing in my tests, unlike spears and staves.

Does thrust damage (same as spear) when it is likely to do piercing damage.
