When a powered {{name}} is thrown, it will instantly travel to its target with no throw variance, regardless of distance. This means a disc cannot miss due to throw variance, but normal accuracy calculations still apply, meaning the target still has a chance to dodge the attack. | When a powered {{name}} is thrown, it will instantly travel to its target with no throw variance, regardless of distance.

After being thrown at a valid target, a disc will return to its thrower, automatically re-equipping itself in the thrown weapon slot. If the disc is not thrown at a valid target, either due to incompatible [[phase]] states or due to not being thrown at a target at all, it will travel to its destination and fall to the ground as a normal thrown item would, even if powered. | After being thrown at a valid target, a disc will return to its thrower, automatically re-equipping itself in the thrown weapon slot.

Additionally, {{name|plural}} have the property of bouncing between multiple targets when thrown. After hitting its initial target, the thrown disc will bounce and hit an additional 5 enemies, randomly targeting any valid creature that is currently engaged in combat with the thrower. Creatures can also be targeted for a bounce more than once if there are less than 5 targets; this even applies if there is only 1 valid target, causing them to be hit by the initial throw as well as all 5 bounces. However, throwing a disc at a creature that isn't currently engaged in combat with the thrower will not cause the disc to bounce, only dealing damage once before returning. | Additionally, {{name|plural}} have the property of bouncing between multiple targets when thrown.
