Clockwork Crossbow

A clockwork crossbow is just like a regular crossbow, except that after it is wound up, the crossbow will automatically draw itself. This takes the same amount of time as normal, but it allows you to do something else while the crossbow is being drawn. To be more specific, you have to spend a number of AP equal to the normal load time of the crossbow doing something else before you will be able to fire it again. Putting the bolt in is a 0 AP action, and a clockwork crossbow can be drawn normally. A clockwork crossbow costs 3 times that of a normal crossbow.

Wind time: 5 rounds

Run time: 10 draws

Clockwork Crossbow of Speed: These crossbows draw so fast that they wind immediately and take no time at all, becoming load free weapons. If you are capable of taking multiple shots in one round, you can do so with a clockwork crossbow of speed. The are quite a bit more expensive than regular clockwork crossbows (10 times the cost of a regular clockwork cross bow, so 30 times that of a standard crossbow), otherwise they function normally.

Despite the normal disconnect between magic and clockwork, you can enchant a clockwork crossbow. Essentially, you are enchanting the crossbow part instead of the clockwork part.
