Volleys of soaring bolts are engraved upon this loaded crossbow.

A quick loading crossbow accesses an extradimensional space that can hold up to 100 bolts, allowing you to reload the crossbow more rapidly than normal. Reloading a quick loading hand or light crossbow is a free action (allowing a character with multiple attacks to use his full attack rate), and reloading a quick loading heavy crossbow is a move action.

Different types of bolts can be held in the extradimensional space, and you can select freely from these when reloading the crossbow. Adding or removing a bolt by hand from an extradimensional space requires a move (manipulation) action.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, secret chest, shrink item.

Cost to Create: Varies.
