Charge bows

Pre-Hardmode bows charge on hold. Pearlwood Bow and repeaters are not in this family. See volley bows. Turn on Divine Artifice.

Shared loop

Hold left click to charge. Release to shoot. With no usable ammo, the bow will not draw.

Half, full, and overcharge are three tiers. Full charge is about 2.2 times a normal shot. Overcharge is about 3.4 times. Hold to about 5 times and the string destabilizes: that shot falls back to full-draw power with brief fatigue.

At full charge and above, the main arrow gains 1 extra pierce if it already pierces. Infinite-pierce arrows do not gain more.

One vanilla ammo is spent on release. Split arrows, side shots, and rain extras do not spend ammo.

Each bow changes bolt type or marks at full charge. Details sit on the gold Godsmith Reforged line.

Molten Fury	Reforged: wooden arrows still become flaming arrows. Three-stage draw Full-drawn molten cores spray magma beads on impact; an overdrawn volcanic shot calls five molten rain bolts down on the mark
Blood Rain Bow	Reforged: arrows still fall as blood rain. Three-stage draw A full draw calls four extra bolts onto the cursor; an overdrawn flood calls eight, and the main bolt pools blood where it lands, trampling and slowing foes
