[Duskruin] Spore Bow (and minor Spore Staff updates)

The Inyexat have expanded their spore magic weaponry to bows and crossbows, available exclusively at The Fairy Ring on the outskirts of Bloodriven Village. These ranged weapons have all the same benefits as the Spore Staff. You will find some of your special attacks have appearances more fitting to a bow.
Additionally, they have tweaked some of the magic involved so that you can speed up the rate of the ambient spore behavior, as well as make it so the spores will no longer show up in your features, if you are so inclined to be more discreet. This will be an automatic update to existing weapons–no unlock required for these fluff changes.
>raise yumi at kobold
You aim your nightwillow yumi at an upward angle, an ethereal arrow dense with twilight purple motes materializing. After launching into a spectaular arc, the intangible projectile plummets until its tip burrows into the ground before a kobold. The arrow unfurls rapidly into a near-black violet webcap and swells to an eruption of explosive spores.
The twilight purple spores churning around a kobold simultaneously burst into an explosion of coruscating blue-black dust!
