He hands it to the slave man. "Don't release until I tell you to." 15 second hold at a different wall.
Well the slave nods does so, and after 15 seconds releases it, his hands are burned a good bit, wait what's his alignment. Well he releases it, and it hits the wall it possibly scorches it a good bit, lots of cracks spiderweb from the point of impact and a few chunks fall off.
Then his hands have a few laserations and abrasions, and the wall is not scorched but it does have a few scuffs gashes, small ones. Oh and his hands are cold, slightly, and a bit ofr frost on them and the wall.
So the bow works differently depending on alignment?
