To my knowledge this is not known publicly.

I have been wondering myself, that bound bow looks badass

I would guess either unlimited arrows for the duration of the spell, or just one shot

it looks like perhaps it is one spell, i was just thinking tho, having a bound arrows spell seperate would be pretty cool, if arrows are rare, also, do you think we can craft arrows with smithing?

That picture is the coolest picture I have seen so far. I just love the way it looks. I can't wait to try it out.
If you or your wife/sister/friend is expecting a baby please read about Craniosynostosis. It is a common birth defect that can be overlooked by doctors.

I've been wondering this for some time. I think it would add quite a bit of depth to smithing, allowing different types of characters to benefit from it.

I thought arrows were just "rarer than in Oblivion". And they weren't really all that rare to begin with. My assassin always had plenty of ammo for her bow...
Signatures are overrated.

ya but in oblivion after u run into 5 bandits you have like over 100 arrows and continually get lots and lots of arrows in oblivion, if u can pretty much 1 hit people with arrows (they did in the demo from sneak attack), i would only want each bandit or whatever to only have MAX 5 arrows, so you would still have about 15-20 after a few fights, but dragons look like they take about 10-15 to get them wounded enough to have to land, it is unrealistic for people to carry around 200 arrows at all times, where would you put them?

well to craft an arrow it would seem that you would need some steel for the head of the arrow, some wood, and a feather/feathers of some kind (the ore would dictate the damage as usual, iron/elven/dwarven/glass/ebony)
