The '''Ethereal Crossbow''' is a weapon from [[Heretic]]. It is a stringless wooden crossbow that fires glowing green bolts ([[Ethereal Arrows]]) for ammunition. When fired, it launches a spread of three bolts, the central one being more powerful than the other two and, unlike the bolts at the side, can damage [[Ghosts (Heretic)|ghost monster]]s, which makes it roughly equivalent to [[Doom]]'s [[shotgun]]. All three bolts auto-aim seperately, making the weapon more accurate when pointed at an enemy at midrange than when firing at a wall or at long range. Under the influence of a [[Tome of Power]], its rate of fire is slightly faster, and it fires a spread of five bolts, three of which are capable of damaging ghosts.
