This system will enable a more advanced way of playing with an archer character
that has to aim at the ground to fire his / her's arrows.

The bow must be strung by using the spell: "String Bow" (Hotkey = Q) to enable "Shoot" (Hotkey = C)

If there are no arrows in the quiver then the bow cannot be strung,
To refill the quiver, simply write -Ammo
(Preferably alter in real map so that you have to buy arrows at a flethcer or something like that)
