“Kvothe's arrow-catching artifice”
Description§
The Bloodless is an artificed device built by Kvothe in the Fishery, designed to catch incoming arrows rather than allowing them to strike their target. It works by means of eight spring-loaded bear-trap mechanisms that snap shut on arrows; once sprung, it must be reset before it can catch more. Kvothe, prevented from naming it after himself, came to call it the arrow-catch.
