Description
Enshi (meaning "far sight") is Ravelyn Rouge's main weapon of choice, modified to have a draw-weight of 50 pounds without sacrificing any of the power or range. It uses both regular arrows and Dust arrows, and is made out of ebony wood.

Dust: While any type of Dust can be used, Ravelyn uses only seven--Red (Fire), Green (Wind), Cyan (Ice), White (Impact), Brown (Earth), Yellow (Lightning), and Purple (Gravity). Most of the Dust is infused with the Dust Arrows, but she also carries Dust powder for the Combo Arrows.

Dust Arrows: Made out of ebony, with black feathers and iron arrowheads, these arrows have small sheens to them, the color(s) representing the type(s) of Dust. Some have small chambers in the middle of their shafts for Dust powder, with a divider in the middle that opens on a timer, so Ravelyn can make the arrows have different effects (these will be labeled with "Dust Powder", and be under the normal effect of the Dust combo). Ravelyn makes these herself.
 * Regular Dust Arrows:
 * Fire (Red Dust): The arrow, when shot, leaves behind a very faint trail of flames. When it hits it's target, it explodes.
 * Ice (Cyan Dust): When it hits, ice covers the target.
 * Impact (White Dust): The arrow hits the target with twice the force of a regular arrow. Sometimes used to penetrate a thrown Dust crystal.
 * Gravity (Purple Dust): Pulls the arrow down faster. Usually used to make targets/spectators think she's aiming at something else.
 * Earth (Brown Dust): The arrow becomes solid earth before hitting, shattering into deadly projectiles that fly in every direction.
 * Lightning (Yellow Dust): The arrow is surrounded by crackling lightning. When it hits it's target, lightning arcs out and fries anything nearby. Can be pulled off course by metal, as lightning is electricity. In fact, that's often what Ravelyn uses it for--to find metal.
 * Wind (Green Dust): The arrow travels faster than normal, whipping up the wind as it goes. By the time it hits it's target, there's usually a strong gust of wind that smacks into the target after. Also hits with twice the force of a normal arrow.
 * Combo Dust Arrows:
 * Fire + Wind (Red + Green Dust): This arrow has the same effects of a regular Wind Dust arrow. The added Fire Dust, though, makes the gust after impact consist of smoke thanks to the regular Fire arrow's flame trail. Usually used to blind the target and push them away.
 * Dust Powder: Arrow explodes sometime after being shot, depending on what Ravelyn set the timer to. Literally creates an explosion, fueled by the Wind Dust.
 * Impact + Wind (White + Green Dust): Hits with quadruple the force, with a strong gust of wind following. (Quadruple because both separately hit with twice the force) The least used out of all her Dust combos, she usually uses this against heavy, metal enemies or to strike through multiple enemies.
 * Gravity + Wind (Purple + Green Dust): Literally just the effects of a Gravity arrow and a Wind arrow combined into one. Used to make the arrow travel farther/faster than a normal Gravity arrow (aka it's for really long-range and speed purposes).
 * Ice + Fire (Cyan + Red Dust): The effects of both combined, the target is freezing cold then blazing hot.
 * Dust Powder: The arrow explodes sometime after being shot, when depending on what Ravelyn set the timer to, creating a mist in the air.
 * Gravity + Impact (Purple + White Dust): Literally the effects of both Dust arrows combined. Often used if she can't aim directly at the object she needs to hit/break.
 * Impact + Fire (White + Red Dust): The effects of both combined.
 * Fire + Earth (Red + Brown Dust): The effects of both combined, with the Fire Dust expanding the range of the Earth Dust arrow's projectiles.

History
Ravelyn built this weapon at age 13, during her time among the people of Fulton. Since then, it's undergone quite a few modifications, among them lowering the draw-weight while keeping the range and power.
