The scorching bow is a demonbane weapon requiring level 77 Ranged to wield. It is made by using a tormented synapse on a magic longbow (u). This requires level 74 Fletching (boostable) and having read Duradel's notes after completion of While Guthix Sleeps.

The bow, able to fire arrows up to dragon arrows, has a 30% accuracy and damage bonus against demonic creatures. Similar to the dragon hunter crossbow, the damage bonus is applied additively with the 15% damage boost from a Slayer helmet (i) or black mask (i), resulting in a total damage boost of 45%.

The process to create the scorching bow can be reversed via the 'Revert' option, returning only the tormented synapse as a result. A player killer will receive the synapse from their opponent if it is not one of their protected items.

The scorching bow cannot be used to light a fire with Barbarian Firemaking.

The scorching bow has a special attack, Scorching shackles, which drains 25% of the player's special attack energy.

Scorching shackles, regardless of whether it is a successful hit or not, will bind demons for 20 ticks (12 seconds) and deal 1 burn damage in the process. It will deal an additional 1 burn damage every 4 ticks (2.4 seconds), for a total of 5 burn damage.

Against non-demonic creatures, attempting to use the special attack results in the message Scorching shackles won't work against a non-demon enemy.

Below the required level, a message will appear stating "You attempt to string the bow, but burn yourself in the process. You'll need a Fletching level of 74 to craft a scorching bow." This will deal 4 damage to the player, but cannot kill them; attempting to make the bow without the Fletching level and having less than 6 hitpoints will prompt the character to state "I'm not sure I want to try that when I'm this injured."

The first scorching bow created on an account grants 730 Fletching experience, whilst subsequent ones grant 73 experience afterwards.
