A geomagnetic disc is an artifact which acts as a thrown weapon with several unique properties.

geomagnetic discs must be powered in order to function, and thus require either an energy cell or to be supplied power via the Jacked item modification. Throwing a disc without power will cause it to behave as a low-tier throwing weapon, having a flat →5 PV and dealing only ♥1 damage.

When a powered geomagnetic disc 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.

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.

Additionally, geomagnetic discs 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.

Finally, powered geomagnetic discs act as vibro weapons when thrown, meaning their →PV value is equivalent to the ♦AV of whatever they hit.[1]

If the geomagnetic disc is used as a melee weapon, it acts only as a →4/4 ♥1d21-2 (Avg: 1.5) cudgel weapon.[2]
