Your guess is as good as mine.

@Thelos Ether:

I actually have no idea what that armor is. It's not my screenshot; I just searched for pictures of the standard Bound Bow on Google Images. xD
Queen Moja 10 Feb, 2014 @ 7:47am

Thelos Ether 7 Feb, 2014 @ 6:23am

Ube 1 Feb, 2014 @ 9:59pm 
ok
Nasty Ned  [author] 1 Feb, 2014 @ 8:23pm 
In the command console, type:

help "bound ballista"

You should see something like:

SPEL: (02000BA95) "Bound Ballista"

Then type:

player.addspell 02000BA95

This should give you the spell. The actual ID probably won't be 02000BA95, I'm just using it as an example.
Ube 1 Feb, 2014 @ 8:00pm 
what is the command to spawn the ballista me dont understand consal
Ube 1 Feb, 2014 @ 8:00pm 
ok thanks :)
Nasty Ned  [author] 1 Feb, 2014 @ 6:33pm 
The Bound Ballista also conjures and auto-equips 100 Bound Arrows every time it is cast. When the bow is dispelled, these arrows disappear with the bow, but the next time you cast the spell, you'll get another 100 Bound Arrows.

So technically you don't get unlimited arrows, but you refresh your arrow supply every time you cast Bound Ballista, so ammunition isn't much of a concern to the player.
Ube 31 Jan, 2014 @ 2:59pm 
do you need arrows are are they infinet
Sluumpty 31 Jan, 2014 @ 9:31am 
Ok, thank you.
Nasty Ned  [author] 28 Jan, 2014 @ 11:15pm 
@jasperisnot3 It's powerful enough to play corpse billiards with. It's where you pile up some corpses, then send a corpse flying into the pile to see how widely the corpses scatter.

In short, it's an insta-kill weapon. And yes, I actually did try corpse billiards. Because I'm a horrible person when it comes to Skyrim.
Sluumpty 28 Jan, 2014 @ 2:35pm 
I it an Insta-kill bow or is it just powerful enough to make it fun but not obliterate the enemy?

Xavinny 26 Jan, 2014 @ 11:39pm 
to find the atronach forge, you might want to explore the college near a certain trapdoor
Nasty Ned  [author] 26 Jan, 2014 @ 3:52pm 
Sure. I'd be happy to try it out when I get the chance.
grendal.wise 26 Jan, 2014 @ 2:18pm 
im in the process of making a mod myself now a simple follower maybe you culd check it out tomorrow?
Nasty Ned  [author] 26 Jan, 2014 @ 12:06pm 
Hrm... Are you sure you typed in the console commands correctly? I don't see any other reason why that would happen.

It's possible that you typed in the wrong ID. You may have to use Page Up and Page Down to scroll through the results.

As for being unable to find the forge, I can't really help you there.
whiskeyriver.az 26 Jan, 2014 @ 8:46am 
Couldnt find the forge,and though the codes came up when I used the console,I couldnt get them.It said could not sparse,..etc.

MOON:
I've placed the spell tome near the Atronach Forge in the Midden, under the College of Winterhold. A lot of simple mods place items around Riverwood and Whiterun, so I try and avoid that for compatibility purposes, among other reasons. It makes more sense to put it in the College anyway.
Xavinny 24 Jan, 2014 @ 6:29pm 
hoide it where lydia sleeps, in the drawer
Xavinny 24 Jan, 2014 @ 6:28pm 
i need high archery, and thanks for responding so fast :)
Nasty Ned  [author] 24 Jan, 2014 @ 5:03pm 
Horseless Headless Horsemann:

Sure, I could hide it for you.
A brief note, though: if you aren't a cheater, then maybe you shouldn't be using this mod in the first place. The bound ballista is WAY overpowered, and will level your archery pretty much instantaneously.
Xavinny 24 Jan, 2014 @ 3:02pm 
can you hide the spell somewhere?
please? im crap at console commands, dont tell me how either, im not a cheater

grendal.wise:

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out how to load the Dragonborn DLC content on the Creation Kit w/o crashing my old dinosaur of a computer. I'm thinking of maybe having a one-handed weapon with the Bloodskal Blade effect, assuming I can get that to work.
grendal.wise 22 Jan, 2014 @ 2:06pm 
nice work love it btw i love playing as a telvanni mage character maybe you could try to make a mod for dragonborn sometime? if you need testers add me on Skype remigreen1966
