The Drainspell Bow is a unique Ancient Nord Bow found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Acquisition

The bow is one of four unique Ghost Weapons wielded by spectral variants of Draugr. These can be encountered only in Labyrinthian during The Staff of Magnus quest. The other three weapons are the Drainblood Battleaxe, Drainheart Sword and Ghostblade.

Enchantment

It absorbs 15 points of magicka with each hit. As with all ghost weapons, it cannot be improved at a grindstone, though it has very limited charges and can be disenchanted to gain the Absorb Magicka enchantment.

Bugs

  •  PC   360   PS3   If placed on a weapon rack, it may sometimes fall through.
  •  PC   360   PS3   Due to the weapon's holder spawning as a different Draugr due to the game's random generator, the Bow's appearance in a game is completely random. For some it may show two or three times in a game, for others it may never show. The only way to fix this is to reload a save right before you enter Labyrinthian.
  • You can disenchant this weapon even if you already have the absorb stamina enchantment, like the other drainspell weapons
