Shortbows are Ranged Weapon in which are almost similarly attributed with the Longbows and Greatbows.
Description[]
Shortbows can be drawn out without interruptions, it has considerably shorter Latency but have the shortest attack range due to the low maximum force that can be put into it. Shortbows use Short Arrows for ammunition for their lightweight and compatibility with them. Due to that, using Shortbows during battles can be heavily affected by wind-pattern factor. Shortbows have the second shortest Latency of 1.2 second, only to be bested by Crossguns and Handguns.
Shortbow's attack power is calculated based solely on it's base Attack Power and Bolts's Attack Power. The damage goes against the target's Defense. It's final damage is then heavily affected by wind-patterns. If the the wind patterns works for the velocity for the arrows, and/or vice versa.

Types[]
Wands have three sub-types. They are Constant, Charge and Loader.
Constant[]
Constant-Wands will always releases the same amount of damage. They are relatively weaker than the other two. All Constants uses the general Wands damage calculation. Their specialty is that, the Focus calculation is ignored by 3 grades. The minimum Focus while using Constant-Wands is B, and cannot be any lower as long as the user equip Constant-type Wands. Constant-Wands has the best homing capability amongst the three types. Their attacks always chase the target, that is, until the magickal projectile runs out of energy.

Charge[]
Charge-Wands are generally the strongest Wand-type there is. They does not release any energy when swung. The must be charged so that the energy can be emitted. Upon stopping on the charge-up, the energy will be shoot. The velocity and power of the energy is greater based on how long the charge-up is. Charge-Wands homing capability is based on how great the projectile's velocity is. The greater the velocity, the weaker would its homing capability would be.

Loader[]
Loaders are capable of releasing out energy in either a machinegun-like shots or simultaneous spew of projectiles like shotguns. When aiming, the player can either push the attack button repetitively for the machinegun shooting, or charge-up the Wand for shotgun shooting. All Loader-Wands have different numbers of orbs. Each orbs takes approximately 2.5 seconds to reload its energy. Loader-Wands have the weakest homing capability amongst the three types.
