A little mod that converts Gesen bow to a Longbow

Through a combination of wanting to finally learn how to mod Infinity engine games after years of sponging and my desire to play a Longbow Archer through the whole series, I give you the Gesen Longbow Conversion.
It's very simple, but was a good introduction for me to creating Weidu mods.
What it does:
- Converts the Gesen into a longbow (using the icon/pic from the Elven Court Bow)
- Changes it to a +5 weapon (I wanted to make this a ToB Cespenar upgrade, but I quickly realised that was beyond me atm)
- Also, I changed the projectile graphic from that excruciatingly slow lightning bolt to a regular speed Blue Magical looking arrow (It looks pretty badass and doesn't take until the next round to actually hit)
Let me know what you think.

No more Firetooth. Time to give my archer charname another go.
Thanks for making this mod.
If you take a look here and here you could see how it is done, but then changing usability flags is pretty complicated (when you just start doing so) with weidu.
@timothyfarley You're welcome
@Sergio, CaloNord I agree that would be cool, but also incredibly daunting for a novice modder.
@CrevsDaak Is there a particular reason to use copy existing for the bow as well or is it more of a modding faux pas to just provide an edited .itm file?
