Well Khaladon responded to a thread and posted the following...
To clarify all the magical bows that been made...
After archery came out, an auction had 5 bows called "an elemental bow of XXXX" back in the day when the only flare types were fire, ice, acid, electricity, and impact. They are all 10x weapons basically.
Uska a couple years ago released a handful of bows at Anfelt and one at Ciston's auction to benefit the troops. I think the total is 6 of them. They are 0x weapons (which is really bad for DS for archers), and the enchant is based on level, with only rangers able to get past 5x.
I made a slew of varying types for the WaveDancer, releasing 18 in total, 3 of each type.
The arrow making bows came in 3 types, flaring (all the flare types we have now, and the chance of flaring is much greater than 10 percent, contrary to the prior posts), randomly damage weighted, and just arrows. All the arrows range from +1 to +30, and with the bows being +20, its a +21 to +50 weapon.
The others were chaos bows (varies in enchant, highly sighted, morphs), racial bows (nicely sighted for most, awesome for halflings and sylvans), and the speed crossbows (cock in 3 seconds).
So...
Enjoy em. Which ever one you have, I think Banthis's, Uska's, and mine are all comparable.
Have fun.

That’s the most definitive information on the elemental bows that I’ve seen to date. I wanted to compile a list of what they look like and possibly the current owners.
I remember hearing about an elemental crossbow too. Was it one of the originals?
Have any of them been lost to invasions, lockouts or anything?
I remember seeing one of the originals on someone in Illistim but I’ll be damned if I can remember who that was.
Banthis’s Original Five Elemental Bows:
Bow: an elemental bow of fire
Bow: an elemental bow of ice
Bow: an elemental bow of acid
Bow: an elemental bow of electricity
Bow: an elemental bow of impact
Uska’s Six New Style Elemental Bows:
Bow: a weathered long bow inlaid with tiny bloodstones
Element: Acid
Current owner: Tsin
Bow: a weathered long bow with the elemental rune of acid burned into the front
Element: Acid.(Is this the same one as the above but got altered?)
Bow: a blue frost-flecked bow – Cold – Speaker
Element: Cold
Current Owner: Speaker
Loresong: The noise and light fades around you. Blinking your eyes you find yourself among an armed and armored group of Sylvankind, many sporting wounds and bandages. All around the sounds of heavy fighting filters in from among the trees. Screams and cries of things only dreamt of in nightmares can be heard coming from the edges of the encircled position the Sylvans hold. The leader of the band, an arrow protruding from the shoulder, gives an unheard command and her retainers begin stripping off the most powerful of their artifacts. Once shorn of the items they wrap them in cloth and place them in a chest. The chest is then lowered into a hole dug beneath a massive oak's roots and covered with loamy earth. The sole remaining cleric in the group blesses the ground to hide the cache from the unholy. The leader of the band gives a curt nod and the group with you among them draw their remaining weapons and charge one last time into the forest. Suddenly feeling a sharp pain, you see a feathered shaft has sprouted from your chest. With a final scream you collapse and everything around you goes black.
Khaladon’s Nine WaveDancer Style Elemental Bows:
Bow: a deringo composite bow
Element: Unaligned
Current Owner: Odysia
Bow: a deringo composite bow
Bow: a deringo composite bow
Bow: a ruic long bow
Element: Chaos
Current Owner: Odysia
Bow: a silk-bound elven bowuic ~ The ruic limbs are exceptionally maintained, allowing a draw of impossible ease. A length of dark grey silk is tightly bound across the bow which is further secured by intervals of coraesine banding. Its drawstring is nothing more than a wisp of smoke, fleeting and insubstantial.
Element: Chaos
Current Owner: fallenSaint
Bow: a ruic long bow
Bow: a glowbark heavy crossbow
Bow: a glowbark heavy crossbow
Bow: a fireleaf heavy crossbow
Element: Wood
Current Owner: The Nalfein Kitten
