These arrows have been specially blessed by an unknown priest to be used specifically against undead. When fired toward any undead creature, the arrow will emit a astoundingly bright light that will incapacitate the target undead creature for one round if it misses, but if it does hit, the arrow delivers 2d6 points of damage and expends additional holy energy into the undead creature.
Undead which receive this holy energy influx have a chance to be turned as if the arrow were a 7th-level priest. If it is turned, then the undead creature flees at maximum movement for 2d12 rounds, else it may continue on as before.
The arrows' tips are made of fine silver and if scanned for magic will reveal only a faint aura of indeterminable type. The arrows are always sheaf arrows and are +2 "to hit." When found, there will typically be 2d10-5 (but always at least one).
