The weapon's haft itself has been sanded down and patterned with a criss-cross of grooving, giving it a texture that allows for a reliable grip. At the top of the spear, an enormous jagged tooth of the oceanic beast as affixed to the haft, giving the weapon a primal but fearsome appearance. |

Recall
The weapon is imbued with special properties created by Lograr, renowned Gnome enchanter. The distinguished artisan derived inspiration for many of his mystical incantations from observations of natural phenomena in the surrounding environment during his many expeditions.
The accounts scribed in Lograr's journal indicated that while visiting a particular island in Qi'Reshalia, he observed the use of boomerangs by some of the locals, and was very eager to adapt those same properties into other thrown weapons. This was the outcome that resulted from those studies.
