Tonarlanz (me generic archer/mage ) created this bow with his vast magical powers. With it he unleashes the power of acid and lightning in a massive tempest that destroys anything on its path.
On a more down to earth note, it is a long bow that seems to fire acid arrows (melf's acid arrows) which when they impact do the usual d6 of bow damage + 10 acid damage +10 lightning damage. BTW the impact animation is the prot. from evil one (i always thought it looked like lightning) and the melf acid arrow impact.
It also has a 15% chance of casting Divine storm (the spell with the purple clouds and orange lightning bolts) with each hit.
I assume it is +5 enchanted? Perfect tens for Acid/Lightning damage is way too good.

May I suggest the following instead?

1d6+5 piercing damage, +1d4 acid damage, +1d4 electrical damage

Your current bow has a damage range of 21-26, the above has a damage range of 8-19. You may think I have nerfed the base damage too much, but I am not done yet.

Give the bow a 25% chance to cast Chain Lightning( at user's level) on each hit.

Allow the user to cast Call Lightning( at user's level) once per rest.

Once a day, the archer can use the bow to call forth a lightning storm by shooting a magical arrow into the sky. It takes a full day for the magical arrow to recharge.
[/QUOTE]Well it fires 3 arrows per round and of course requires no munitions! BTW Dundee I think that reducing the elemental damage would be good. But not 1d4 maybe 1d6?
I like the idea of call lightning but I would prefer acid damage. Maybe a new spell that does 3d6 acid damage for 3 rounds? But I like the storm of vengence spell so i'll keep that.

So now I have to make a drawback like the others suggested (thinks and steam begins to come from his ears)
When storm of vengence comes it has a 35% chance of invoking a hostile marilith...

Why don't you go ahead and make it shoot Arrows of Slaying while you're at it? Arrows of Munchkin Slaying would be a good start.

It's effectively an artifact, therefore should have artifact-level penalties.

Ummm -2 to saving throws, -2 to wis and a chance to invoke an ennemy marelith... you sure it's overkill. Mareliths are very dangerous even at high levels
