Part of the problem is from the costing of weapon enhancements--a +3 melee weapon costs about the same as a +2 bow and a pile of +2 arrows, for instance--but greater magic weapon is also to blame. An archer relying on this spell gets his magic arrows "for free," meaning that he's going to have something like double the enhancement that his melee buddy has.Thanks to a couple of changes--one minor, one more significant--this shouldn't be a problem in 3.5.
