1.Is attack characteristic the number of attacks the model has printed in the rulebook or is it the number of attacks model has in total?
2.Also do weapons that add extra attacks increase models attack characteristic?
3. Do spells that increase the number of attacks model has like "Savage Beast of Horrors" also increase models attack characteristic?

I have all these questions as wood elves have a magic bow which allows user to fire attack characteristic plus one times. To me it does not seem feasible that a model with two hand weapons as opposed to one would be able to shoot one extra time. However it seems quiet feasible that a model who would have his vitality and strength severaly times increased by spell like "Savage Beast of Horrors" would be able to fire more times.
Thanks in advance.

Attacks refers to melee attacks and will not effect shooting at all.

The number of shots is printed in the weapon entry & is increased via the "Multiple shots (X)" rule.

No, the Bow will not benefit from other equipment which gives the Additional Attack special rule, like XHW. It will benefit from things that directly effect the A characteristic, like Savage Beast of Horros.

The Bow of Avalorn does reference the Attack characteristic however.
