The Longbow of Diana is the ranger quest artifact. It is chaotic for wishing purposes. Its base item type is a bow.
When carried, the Longbow of Diana confers telepathy. When wielded, it confers reflection and +d5 to hit when firing arrows. Invoking the Bow creates +0 arrows with the same BUC status (but not the same enchantment charge) as the Bow. A blessed Bow creates more arrows, up to 21 at once, and a cursed Bow fewer, at most 11 at once. The Bow does not have charges but the invocations have a little timeout, so you cannot create new arrows every turn.
[edit] Encyclopedia entry
This legendary bow grants ESP when carried and can reflect magical attacks when wielded. When invoked it provides a supply of arrows.
[edit] History
The Longbow of Diana first appears, along with the Ranger class, in NetHack 3.3.0 under the name of The Longbow of Artemis. It was renamed in NetHack 3.4.0.
