The damage comes from the bow. If you look at enlarge person, the arrows do large bow damage, even though when they leave the bow they become medium, this is because, in D&D the arrows damage is based off the bow. Hate to ruin your fun, but that's what the enlarge person rules say about arrows after they leave the bow.One thing that does seem like fun, is a cube with 5 faces, and the 6th face is open, mage hand it over your opponent and trap them, can even leave holes in it (either a cage or a box with a hole in it) to attack them through. You can also turn fire into thin paper, there is no reason (with some kind of DC check) this wouldn't work on an explosion, tag that paper to a kunai, and rip off naruto, or simply and arrow. Mix in some of that paper with soup, let them eat it, and then release the masses of acid or fire into their stomach.Another interesting thing, which leads to arguments with anime object, is can you shrink a section of the ground (i'd rule no) and use it as a pit trap spell. Some DM's (Not me or the people I know) may decide this is fun and allow it. While with earth (that hasnt been dug up) my instincts say no, creating masses of water in the same cloth form, seems reasonable, and we all know how destructive water is, possible more useful against a wave, up to the DM if it retains its consistancy. But just how minute can you specify, what if you want to use it on the oxygen in a contained room, that would suffocate someone. And while an explosion is hard to catch in time, an explosive gas released around someone with a flaming sword, or a torch, or many fire creatures, not so much.You can also mix it with the entangle spell, to allow you to use it in awkward area's, making the low level spell yet more irritating. Smoke bombs is another option, and it cleans your own air if you have just been assaulted, poison gas too. A recently killed creature with a stench ability is a bit of a dark way to go, it could replace certain wall spells, when you look at ice and stone, can also make adamant and what not if you have the gold. An amusing way to steal a grand statue, and back to the shrink part of the ground idea, break into a building pretty much effortlessly, and silently.Lay caltrops down (all linked by string?), or a carefully made turf with sharper more deadly knives attached to it jutting up, making charges against your camp nigh on impossible. Very cheaply drop a barrage of broken glass on someone (Might follow the volly rules).A lot of these idea's become good by level 10, however are still usable at level 5. I have no doubt that this list of stuff you can do, has lots of holes in them, as it just came off the top of my head, but I am sure some of it is viable. Please feel free to criticize any or all of this, I will take no offense ^_^</blockquote>
