Combined Stave / Bow


Rules Questions


The Magus Eldritch Archer has his Bow as his Arcane Bonded item - the ability to cast an extra spell per day.

Given that the Arcane Bond allows you to enchant it with out having the Crafting Item feats, and that you can add enchants on an already enchanted item at 150% of the normal cost would they be able to Enchant it as a Magic Bow, and then re-enchant it as a Stave?

i.e. +3 Composite Long then make it a Staff of Fire.

Thanks

It work as having the appropriate Crafting feat, not all the crafing feats.

Wizards who select a bonded object begin play with one at no cost. Objects that are the subject of an arcane bond must fall into one of the following categories: amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon. These objects are always masterwork quality. Weapons acquired at 1st level are not made of any special material. If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be held in one hand. If a wizard attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a concentration check or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20 + the spell's level. If the object is a ring or amulet, it occupies the ring or neck slot accordingly.

A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat. For example, a wizard with a bonded dagger must be at least 5th level to add magic abilities to the dagger (see the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat in Feats). If the bonded object is a wand, it loses its wand abilities when its last charge is consumed, but it is not destroyed and it retains all of its bonded object properties and can be used to craft a new wand. The magic properties of a bonded object, including any magic abilities added to the object, only function for the wizard who owns it. If a bonded object's owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type.

A bow is a weapon, you can incant it as a weapon, you don't get the Craft staff feat.
