when you compare this to the other 2 bows you see how overpowered this is.
long bow, 2 war, 8 mana, 2 hands
full action, range 1-2, 4dice 1 piercing
your short bow
cost 1 war less, same mana, only 1 hand
quick action (no ranged non attack spell is quick), same damage and can avoid most defences. and has better range
this is just to overpowered (and cheaper)when compared to other bows
consider the following changes
2 war
2 handed (you can't use a bow with 1 hand)
2 seperate attacks
"runing shot" quick, 1-2, 3 dice
"reflex shot" full action, 0-2, 4 dice, +6 defence roll.
if you insist on a one handed weapon try
"one handed cross bow"
(uses load token like hammer, for theme let's say it magically loads itself)
1 war, 1 hand, 0-1 range, 4 dice
if you have a free offhand you can place a 2 load tokens during upkeep instead of 1

Glad for feedback and I like the crossbow idea.
Adding 6 to defense rolls helps the defender and makes the shortbow very weak against defenses at range.
