The bolt gleams with iridescent scales etched into its shaft, razor-tipped head pulsing crimson veins that throb like dragon heartblood. Feathers fletch its length in smoldering obsidian, trailing wisps of acrid smoke that harden into piercing spines mid-flight. When loosed, it whistles through the air, seeking reptilian flesh with unerring hunger, splintering bone and cauterizing wounds in bursts of infernal flame.
