Consider a +1 Flaming Longbow. An arrow shot from this weapon would indeed be magical. If such a weapon was used in the battle with the wraiths how would damage be determined? Would only the flaming damage count or since the description specifially states that the weapon bestows the energy upon the ammunition that the damage from the arrow would also cause damage.  Secondly on page 183 of the DMG it states that the enhancement bonuses stack for attack and damage purposes.   Thirdly you can easily make the same arguement that there is not an iron clad absolute statement that the arrow is magical, and there is  No statment whatsoever that the arrow is non-magical. It could be argued that the attack is magical since it is being initiated with a magical weapon.Finally I reiterate my question is there any place that states incorporeality is a form of Damage Reduction? If the answer is yes then obviously the arrow would do no damage. However if the answer is no then the arrow should do damage since the rules state against DR only the arrow's bonus is used. Again use the logic that  the statement concerning arrows penetrating DR is the exception to the rule not vice verca.</blockquote>
