So, you are wielding a +2 bow and using it to fire +1 arrows. Do you get a +3 to all attack and damage rolls when attacking?

Are arrows considered magical for overcoming resistance when the arrow is mundane and the bow is magical?

Yes and yes.

Yes and yes.

That seemed really powerful on the bonus, but that does assume that the DM gives out consumable arrows often enough for it to be worthwhile.

Would be nice if Magic Weapon spell worked on projectiles.

I imagine many would argue that it is better than the Arcane Archer and just as flavorful, although flame arrows is a pretty high level spell for an EK.

Maybe fun, but probably not optmized.

It's incredibly fun. You're a full fighter archer that has access to things like Find Familiar, Mirror Image, Blur, Counterspell, Haste, Fly, Greater Invisibility. Also, if someone comes close enough, you can use Warmagic to essentially Booming-blade with Extra attack.

Nothing feels more fun than walking into a potential ambush minute meteors flying around your head. Gonna Attack, Attack, attack with the heavy crossbow... and then bonus action mini-fireball. Don't worry, I can do this all encounter.

It's crazy fun.

Hmm. I see. Well, one possible issue I see is that most of the spells have nothing to do with archery, aside maybe fly and invisibility. But I'll think of it :)
Flaming arrows being available at 13th level is kind of a big deal though. Makes it unlikely to come online
