I am not native in english and I am designing a game. I have some doubts about the correct way to write this powers

1- Can I name a power Thousand Swords? Or the correct way is A Thousand Swords?

2- Twin Shot or Twin Shots? D&D Ranger has twin strike, but I always read the plural is correct

Thanks

If they're just names, there are no grammar rules which apply. Whatever you like the sound of! All of the above alternatives would be perfectly adequate names for powers.

...If you are the creator, you could name it anything really.

1. I'd name the power One Thousand Swords to simplify it (or maybe Ten Thousand Swords to make it more terrifying).

2. Twin Shot sounds correct to me, if you are referring to two arrows per attack. The word twin means two, making the term plural. Twin Shots strikes me as two attacks with two arrows each. With both the word twin and shots being plural in nature.

Yup. I'm not a native English speaker, but even translating it into German 'Zwillingsschuß'; it's quite clear that 'twin shot' refers to two shots already, so the plural would refer to multiples of two shots.
