Origin[]
In Greek mythology, Eros, whos Roman counterpart was Cupid, was a god of love and lust, had arrows that could both make a person fall in love and cause overwhelming hate. Some accounts see him as a primordial god, while others see him as a son of Aphrodite.
Effects[]
Needing no ammunition, arrows appear for this bow as it is drawn. When a fired arrow hits a human, it causes them to fall deeply in love with the first other human they see. The effects can be countered by causing the second party to express outspoken hatred for the first, of by hitting the victim with another arrow.
