Bowstring of Twisted Fates

Wondrous item, very rare

These dark and twisted threads are spun from unrealized fates. You can string a nonmagical bow with these strings to transform the bow into a magical one. When you do, smoke pours from the strings when they're pulled taut. When you hit a target with a ranged attack using a bow that's strung with these strings, the target takes an extra 1d8 damage from the attack: this damage is necrotic if the result of the d8 is odd, or radiant damage if it's even.

If the extra damage is necrotic, you can also choose to deal that same amount of damage to another creature of your choice within 15 feet of the original target. If the extra damage is radiant, you can choose to grant such a creature a number of temporary hit points equal to that same amount instead.

Our futures are connected, can't you see?
