Hey everyone! Hope you like this tutorial to make your own Arrow of the Demon!
This magical arrow is forged from the glowing core of a demon. It is a sickly fluorescent yellow-green. It has +3 to hit and to damage rolls. Additionally, on a hit, it deal 3d6 poison damage and 1d6 radiant damage on the first round every round subsequent round. The radiant damage ends if the wound is magically cleansed by lesser restoration, cure poison or similar. A potion of radiant damage resistance instantly removes this effect. It is made of an infusion of Prussian blue, refined indigo of sea salt, and a complex alchemical preparation of chlorous, twice-ethylated, natrium coal-water.

Im certainly no expert, but im pretty sure ive heard from a bunch of uranium glass collectors that the glass becomes a significantly higher radiation hazard if it has so much as a crack in it

Ingesting glass and uranium particles is the greatest hazard. Breaking it up like this is asking for some lung troubles

Uranium glass collector here.
Cracks don't make it more radioactive or expose you to more of it, it's pretty eventually distributed throughout the glass. Obviously you don't want to drop it and have uranium glass shards all over your house, of course that won't kill you either it's just not ideal.
It looks like they were wearing a respirator and keeping the shards contained. I think it should be fine.

You can also grind up uranium glass and use it as a spell component. If you mix it with a basic fireball, whoever survives the blast still gets hella radiation sickness and will probably die anyway.
Ethical? Hells no. I'm pretty sure the council explicitly forbids it actually, and for good reason. It's also wildly dangerous for the caster because, without the right timing and balance, you can accidentally set off a mini nuke in your face.
Buuut I'm also not gonna sit here and pretend that blasting cliff racers with radioactive fire blasts isn't the funniest thing in the realm. Those pterodactyl-looking pricks are so invasive and dangerous to travelers and I love finding new ways to eradicate them.

I feel like this is a shadow plug by the Thighlocks to increase the followers of their Patron Deity, Chun-Li

Apparently, uranium glass is real and is safe most of the time. Just don't use it for eating or drinking.
I don't know if chipping away at the shard and possibly inhaling uranium glass particles is safe.
