Bracers of Throwing

Bracers of Throwing are powerful charged magical item with many variations.
It is generally impractical to make a magical throwing weapon because magical weapons are rare and valuable and normally you don't want to just throw them away. A few legendary thrown weapons can return to the thrower.
Bracers of Throwing (which can also be Gloves of Throwing or Rings of Throwing) bestow magical power on thrown weapons that the wearer is holding, temporarily.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Sometimes there is a command word, other times the thrown weapon just needs to be thrown with intent to harm. Thrown weapons normally retain their magic for a minute or less, but that is more than enough time to throw a knife or hatchet at someone with increased power or accuracy (or increased power and accuracy).

Damage increases don't usually glow or show anything overly magical, they usually manifest in uncanny luck at hitting vulnerable anatomy spots or gaps on armor.

It is not widely known, but if the victim of a magically enhanced thrown weapon is quick enough, they can pick up the projectile and throw it back with the same magical enhancement...unless the Bracers of Throwing are enchanted with Invocation in which case the projectile either explodes or is warped into a non-throwable shape.

Manufacturing process

If a magical item crafter wants to make an unlimited use set of Bracers of Throwing, use the same Base Costs for Magical Weapons but increase everything by 25% because this is an unorthodox delivery of weapon enchantments.
Normally, this is created as a charged, using the normal base costs for wands or staffs but with no increase in costs since the act of of a hand bestowing power on a thrown projectile is metaphysically logical.
Normally, Bracers of Throwing are charged with enhanced accuracy, enhanced damage or both, unusual or unorthodox magical enhancements, such as Invocation, raise enchantement costs by 10%.
Making rings instead of bracers increases base costs by 10% because it is harder to enchant something with less base material.
Making gloves instead of bracers decreases base costs by 10% but increases the chances of accidental being damage or destroyed as bracers are much more tear resistant.
Usually, these are enchanted only to bestow effects on dangerous thrown weapons. It is possible to enchant Bracers of Throwing to bestow magical augmentation on ANY thrown object but that raises the base costs of enchantment by 20%.
