Rusted bow is improved.. It's non-archmagic. It will poison/torpor more often

The primary spell of High Lassitude is dark magic, which is archmagic - so it should not be improved.. but the torpor inflicted is a secondary effect (like Miasma does dark damage, and can inflict a secondary poison debilitation that is just like that you get from a poison arrow) - so it might improve the chances of inflicting torpor from the lassitude spell. Haven't checked.

Note the effect isn't noticeable on creatures that are easily affected - eg cattle take 3 3* rusty bow shots to torpor with or without the augment, but hobgoblins which have some resistance are torpored quicker with the augment - so if you are going to test, test against something difficult.
