Wouldn't it be better if some coloured bows did magical damage?

I thought this would be a great idea as all the bow users in the game all do physical damage. Wouldn't it be great if some bow users could deal magical damage?

Bolting Bow can be a Blue bow as it consists of Thunder.
Excalabow can be a Green Bow as it consists of wind.
Flaming Bow can be a Red Bow as it consists of Fire.

Is this a great idea or is it just stupid?

If done correctly it could be great. Adaptive damage against melee range units, the reverse of dragons.

But then they'll just be a glorified mage so I don't see the point of it? Red Bow = Red Tome etc etc.

Isn't the point (or at least one of the points) of coloured bows to have ranged coloured units that deal physical damage though?

Hmmm...so it would be a ranged magical weapon. That reminds me of something that already exists.

I get your point about it tho. It would work well when it comes to the looks of the character, but gameplay wise, it would work just as tomes and direct counters would require a specific colored bow breaker, which doesn't exist yet and it would probably just be annoying.

It would be a cool addition, but tough to implement correctly.

Not related to coloured bows, but tbh I really thought swords like runesword,light brand, levin sword or wind sword and such could be swords with DC that targeted res if foe is ranged. The idea here reminds me of that fantasy I used to have.( though I guess this idea would make sword units more broken)
