How it works

The Siege Bow blesses a bow or crossbow so its arrows land like TNT. Each shot spends one charge and one TNT from your inventory, and the arrow explodes where it lands with the force of a TNT blast.

Siege Bow stays quiet — you need TNT to arm each exploding arrow. In Creative mode the TNT is free.

Enchantment

The enchantment is called Siege Bow. Hold a bow or crossbow while you wake the rune.

Items that take it: Bow and Crossbow.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/siegebow.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Setting	Default	What it does
use-charges	true	true = finite tier charges, false = infinite charges
explosion-power	4	Blast power of each exploding arrow (vanilla TNT is 4.0).
tnt-cost	1	TNT taken from the inventory for each blast. Creative mode still waives this.

Settings by Tier

Setting	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4	Tier 5	Tier 6	Tier 7
charges-by-tier Charges granted per pattern Tier (1 = Tier 1 … 7 = Tier 7). Edit this table to override the baked default pool.	4	9	21	53	138	373	1119
