Physics: I'm trying to keep the basic physics of this world as similar to reality as possible, although "magic" will provide a bit of wiggle room here. I'm okay with it not being hyper-realistic, as long as your average college-educated non-expert wouldn't find it ludicrous.
In this world, certain supernatural abilities are touch-conductive, meaning that they follow rules similar to electrical circuits. Like in electricity, certain materials are more or less conductive to magic.
One guy has figured out that a good way to use his healing abilities over a distance is to just shoot his accomplice with a sharp non-lethal projectile that trails a superconducting string. (Sure, his friend will probably be a little annoyed at first that he has a bolt in his ass, but probably less annoyed after he realizes his internal bleeding is gone.)
The problem is that I'm struggling a bit to understand how crossbows work, and mainly how bolts differ aerodynamically from arrows. I've found that conventional archers can attach string trackers to their arrows, sacrificing some degree of accuracy. However I'm having trouble finding an analogous setup for a crossbow. Is this because the bolt is so much smaller/shorter range than an arrow?
I'm also a little concerned about the projectile itself--namely, how to make sure you don't immediately kill the guy you're trying to heal. At first I thought of putting a stopping mechanism** on it to keep it from going all the way in. However, when I started drawing a diagram to include such a feature, I realized it would probably not work from an aerodynamic point of view.
Instead, could I just make it too short and too light to pierce anything vital? (Hitting someone's eye or even their artery is probably ok.) If not, I guess that's just a risk he's going to have to take!
*You might wonder why he doesn't just use magic alone to propel his projectile and skip the weapon. As it turns out, this kind of magic is a bit too clumsy and inaccurate to pull this off reliably. It's good at providing strong directional power in certain cases, but the experience would be a bit like trying to shoot an arrow by hitting it with a car.
This guy using a throwbag: =7v9f6isVx3ESome people on this: -size-for-throw-weight.33808/have thrown these about 30 yards nearly straight up ,and I assume this distance would be similar if not greater horizontally , but I don't know about accuracy.
To be honest however, I think you'd be best off with a crossbow, readers would already be familiar with it and I think the danger of your main character misplacing a shot and injuring his friend would add tension and this would be exciting. To stop his friend from being hurt, maybe said friend could wear some leather armour/a helmet?
As far as the stringy thing goes, you can have the missile have a hollow in the tail with several yards of fine thread coiled in. This minimizes the drag on the missile as well as the friction on the thread. The thread can then be attached to a ring or carabiner on the crossbow, allowing for easy detachment.
When the arrow hits, the forces in play are the resistance of the victim's flesh and the kinetic energy of the incoming shaft. The part of the shaft that penetrates has very low speed and exerts a backward force on the incoming shaft.
You can do this by having a solid left-part of the shaft, and a right part made up of several splinters welded together to the right, and held together all around the left shaft by the equivalent of a breakable elastic band that's just enough to hold under the stress of departure from the crossbow. When it hits, the right part penetrates and slows down, the middle part collapses and acts as a shock absorber, and in so doing it pancakes increasing in width, so that further penetration is avoided.
One other option, probably simpler, is to have a point made of soft wax, with a needle inside. The wax is shaped aerodynamically, and on impact the blunt body of the arrow doesn't penetrate (it might well leave a nasty bruise), the needle does (up to a controlled depth). The wax point can be quite large and offer aerodynamic penetration to a large "shoe" to ensure lack of penetration:
The biggest problem here is the definition of "non-lethal" in an age before proper medicine. Any wound is potentially lethal, maybe not immediately, but in the long term. You're dealing with a magical healing here so there's more flexibility, but you're still doing a lot of damage on the way. The chances are your victory here is pyrrhic and you're going to have to get some hands on healing in short order to deal with that puncture wound.
Then there's the range consideration. Any projectile weapon with intent to puncture is going to have a set of ranges: lethal, possibly non-lethal, and useless. The last thing you want to do is punch a hole clean through him because he's a bit too close.
The gunpowder question: Without gunpowder combatants would still be armoured. This is a problem. To penetrate armour the power on such a device would be lethal to an unarmoured target until close to the normal useless range. Again, get your range and armour balance wrong and you're punching a hole straight through him.
In the 1970s or 80s I read an article claiming that until recently crossbows were very inaccurate. This was in a discussion of siege warfare & castle defense. I now doubt that information, since compound xbows have been around for many thousands of years. Currently, xbows are as accurate as pistols at modest (30-40 yard) ranges. Scopes are necessary. There is no, I repeat, no safe way to shoot a xbow at someone. You risk maiming or killing them. As you seem to know, bows are used to hunt both fish and birds with strings attached see, for example Wikipedia Bowfishing. I'd guess the accuracy of such projectiles is miserable at any distance more than a few yards. Increasing muzzle velocity (or whatever it's called for a bolt) should increase distance, but will also reduce accuracy while at the same time making injury more likely. Tasers have maximum range of 35 ft and use compressed gas. Serious injuries are rare...at least, so says the law enforcement agencies that use them. Last idea, have you considered a stream of water? I guess getting a continuous 30 ft stream is unlikely...
So unless you change these to Nerf style suction cup darts, you have a high risk of punching into / through your target. For a healing bolt, you're going to have to heal the bolt-strike and whatever you intended to heal at the same time.
Anything functional at long range that can carry a line could actually be lethal. Is it really necessary to actually hit the person or just land it near enough that they can grab it? I wouldn't aim a crossbow at a friend, especially if I am going to have to heal them.
If you want a non-lethal projectile think of something like a yo-yo or a blowgun. However, the range may be much shorter than you would like. However, one should consider whether a healer is really also likely to be a master marksman at long range. Also, if your healer is at an extreme distance from his allies doesn't that make him a prime target in many cases? A shorter range weapon may be appropriate since he would still be able to heal from cover or hiding. However, he would still need to be pretty close.
As far as your stopping mechanism goes, two things can be done to help prevent deep penetration of the projectile. First of all, taser darts are made small and light to reduce their inertia, allowing them to be stopped easily when they hit something. The two drawbacks to this are that the light projectiles can be influenced by air currents and the drag of the tether and become inaccurate at longer ranges, and the reduced penetration prevents them from getting through thick clothing such as leather.
The other method to prevent deep penetration is seen on a boar spear. This spear has two blunt "wings" behind the blade to stop it from going straight through the target. Changing your disk to bars could solve your aerodynamics problem.
No Strings Attached is a 2011 American romantic comedy film directed and co-produced by Ivan Reitman. Starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, the film is about two friends who decide to make a pact to have a "no strings attached" relationship, without falling in love with each other. The film was released in the United States on January 21, 2011.
After first meeting at a summer camp together with their parents, Emma Kurtzman and Adam Franklin run into each other a few times as independent people but never keep in touch. Emma is a doctor in Los Angeles, and Adam is a production assistant for a musical television show.
Soon, Adam finds out that his father Alvin, the well-known star of a former hit television comedy series, has begun a romance with his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa. Devastated, a drunken Adam calls all his female contacts to hook up. The next morning, he wakes up on Emma's couch, with her friends and colleagues teasing and telling him that he was crying and passed out naked on the couch. She leads him to her room to find his pants, and they have sex.
They have sex again at Adam's house. Before Emma leaves, they agree to engage in a "no strings attached" relationship, where they just have sex. Soon, Adam finds himself getting jealous of Emma's co-worker Sam, and being an emotional person, he doubles his romantic attempts towards her. She feels awkward and thus ends their arrangement, only to end up missing him. She drunkenly crashes at his place, and they sleep together again.
On Adam's birthday, his father tells him he wishes to have children with Vanessa. Disgusted, Adam walks out, and Emma defends him. He asks her for one single date on Valentine's Day, and it seems perfect till she awkwardly tells him she will not engage in an emotional relationship. He says he can't continue without progressing, so they agree to not see each other.
Six weeks later, at her sister's wedding rehearsal dinner, Emma realizes she wants to be with Adam. She calls, saying that she misses him, but he shuts her down. She drives over to his place, only to see Adam and his colleague Lucy, who she thinks is his girlfriend, going inside together. She drives away, heartbroken and without any clue on what to do.
