@kokkinomati said: "Be honest with me Artemis, do people truly use non-magical bows?" Zagreus inquired as he kept trying, and failing, to use a non-magical bow. "With non-magical arrows? I barely know where to aim this thing."
"Magic isn't the answer to everything Zagreus and if you really think my first time wielding a bow was with anything other than something simple, you're sorely mistaken." Artemis was amused by her cousin's apparent discomfort, although surprised he thought she wouldn't have meddled with the basics. "Practice is your real problem. You can't expect to be an expert picking up a bow for the first time," or second, third, fourth- "it takes time and understanding. Understanding you clearly lack but luckily you have someone who could point you in the right direction." There was no better expert to ask, really.
"Instead of just shooting willynilly why not first seek your target with your eyes? The hunt starts with your mindset but it can only progress with understanding, patience and precision. In other words, your lack of accuracy is likely due to inexperience and poor form. Are you practicing with Coronacht? If that's what led you to believe shooting a bow and arrow is easy, I guess I couldn't blame you."
