Magic ritual thoughts

[Whitewings]

I’m developing a setting based around a TL12 colony that’s recently, as in less than a century ago, learned that their star sits within a heliopause-filling bubble of what the locals call ki, meaning it’s a normal mana zone. They’ve kept many now-obsolete combat arts alive as cultural touchstones, including kyujutsu, and I’m wondering about the idea of allowing a ki adept (mage) to set appropriate spells on an arrow using the act of nocking and drawing the arrow as the gesture portion of a gesture and word ritual. It does seem setting appropriate, but I have no real idea of the possible knock-on effects. The colony is extremely new, about a hundred years old; the discovery of magic about 70. Their world is nothing close to tamed.
