Atura war eine Windlingsschützin im Kaer On-ackkin während der Plage. sie hatte eine Schülerin namens Silyba. Dieser Bogen ist der erste Bogen, welche Atura für Silyba anfertigte. Damals war er noch ohne magische Fähigkeiten, aber als Pattern Item mit Atura verbunden, damit die Schülerin auf die Kraft ihrer Lehrerin Zugriff hatte.

On-ackkin wurde vom Dämon Lyckghryn heimgesucht, welcher sich so nach und nach durch die Verteidigungen des Kaers arbeitete. Eine Gruppe von Kämpfern versuchte Lyckghryn zu stoppen. Auch Atura gehörte zu dieser Gruppe. Aber sie scheiterten und Atura wurde vom Dämon korrumpiert.

In ihrer Verzweiflung bildeten die Bewohner von On-ackkin eine weitere Gruppe, allerdings waren die größten Kämpfer mit der ersten Gruppe gestorben oder korrumpiert worden, die Hoffnung war also gering. Silyba schloss sich jener zweiten Gruppe an. Mit Hilfe der Verbindung des Bogens zu Atura konnte auch bei Lyckghryn eine Schwachstelle gefunden werden. Silyba konnte mit Hilfe dieser Verbindung den Dämon schwächen und nach einem langen Kampf auch den tödlichen Schuss mit diesem Bogen ausführen. Leider musste sie auch ihre vormalige Lehrerin töten. Nach dem Kampf schnitt sie eine Haarsträhne von Atura ab und flocht sie an den Bogen.

Durch die Ereignisse erlangte der Bogen seinen eigenes True Pattern und wurde eine mächtige Fadenwaffe. Aturas Bogen wurde innerhalb der Familie von Silyba von Generation zu Generation weitergereicht und auch in weiteren Abenteuern erfolgreich eingesetzt.

Silyba's elemental artifice: If making an elemental attack (see thread rank 4), the owner of the bow can spend one strain to make ongoing elemental effects on the target. What happens depends on the element used:

• fire: The target is harried, unless the target uses a standard action to extinguish the fire.
• ice: The target is harried for a number of rounds determined by the success-level of the attack (good = 1 rounds, excellent = 2 rounds, extraordinary = 3 rounds).
• poison: The target gets additional poison damage each round after the hit. The damage step of the poison is half the thread rank (rounded down). The poison effect ends, if the target succeeds on a toughness check against the poison damage of this round (after the damage was applied).
• water: Movement rate is halved for a number of rounds depending on the success level of the attack. See ice.
• thunder: The target has no standard action, until it succeeds on a Willpower check against half the thread rank (rounded down).

Silyba's aptitude: The user of a bow can hit a nerve centre of the enemy. If he tries to do that, he announces this beforehand, paying one strain and tries to hit the enemy on an attack test. The attack doesn't deal damage, but instead has the chance to paralyze the enemy. The user of the bow makes an test with the thread-ranks (15) + Willpower against the Spell defence of the enemy. If successful the emeny cannot move or take any action for one round. If it is a good result the duration is two rounds, on an excellent result three rounds and four rounds on an extraordinary result.
