A skilled user can throw it in such a way that it will return to its owner.

  • At 0 skill, the weapon never returns.
  • At 1 skill, 33% chance of not returning.
  • At 2 skill, 20% chance.
  • At 3 or more skill, (1/(4 + skill))% chance of not returning.
    • At 6, 10% chance.
    • At 16, 5% chance.
    • At 27, 3.22% chance.

Weapons of returning wiggle slightly when wielded.

Normally, only daggers, hand axes, spears and javelins can have the returning brand. Branded ammunition shops may offer other missiles with this brand, such as arrows, bolts and large rocks.
