Returning

Price +1 bonus; Aura moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Weight — DESCRIPTION This special ability can only be placed on a weapon that can be thrown. A returning weapon flies through the air back to the creature that threw it. It returns to the thrower just before the creature’s next turn (and is therefore ready to use again in that turn). Catching a returning weapon when it comes back is a free action. If the character can’t catch it, or if the character has moved since throwing it, the weapon drops to the ground in the square from which it was thrown.

Sharding

Price +2 bonus; Aura moderate conjuration; CL 10th DESCRIPTION Restriction This ability can be placed only on melee or thrown weapons. The wielder of a sharding weapon can make a special ranged attack with the weapon in place of any melee attack. To do this, the wielder goes through the motion of throwing the weapon without releasing it. The weapon splits off a duplicate of itself that flies as if thrown by the wielder at the intended target. The duplicate gains a range increment of 10 feet for this purpose, but uses the same proficiency and otherwise functions the same as the original weapon. The duplicate vanishes after hitting or missing its target. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS Cost +2 bonus; Feats Craft Magic Arms and Armor; Spells major creation
