Hits Ballistic but doesn't kill

I eased back on Tauropolos’ draw, back down to something that wouldn’t be instantly lethal, and adjusted my aim, then let my arrow fly.

It was fast. Faster than fast. If I’d been in my normal state, I probably wouldn’t have even seen it move, that was how fast the arrow flew. It crossed the distance in less than a second —

“FUCK!”

— and slammed home so hard that it actually knocked my target off his feet.

His shoulder should be all but destroyed, now. I hadn’t aimed for anything vital, but the damage to the muscles and bones should be enough that he wasn’t able to use that arm, anymore. In fact, without a healer to fix it, it would likely be permanent. Maybe if he’d been an innocent bystander, it might’ve meant more to me, but someone who was attacking me?
