What if, over time, the man that became the Darkin remembered himself, prompted by the mortal voices within? What if, instead of overcoming those voices entirely, he came to believe in them?

Auto-Equip The Darkin Bow.
The Darkin Bow activates twice and has max +10|+0.
Varus was empowered, bolstered, reminded of who he was and what he had yet to become. He embraced the sum of his parts instead of working against them--and when they acted, they acted as one.
