Everyone’s seen swords thrown in movies with supposedly pinpoint accuracy. Everyone’s seen weaponized hats that are thrown like a frisbee. Heck, we've seen shields that ricochet and bounce around, defying all sense of realism. But has anybody ever seen somebody throw their kickass shades at somebody, knock em unconscious, then catch ‘em afterwards? Heck, why stop there? Why not have the shades fly back onto the thrower's face?
Stan pondered this for a while… and decided that he should be the first!
With the power of movie magic (and some fiddling with object vectors), this item can be thrown at a guy, boomerang style, and bounce between a bunch of goons. Afterwards, they fly right back into the wielder's hand; if they're kickass shades, they fly right back onto the wielder's face as if they were never taken off in the first place. So badass.
Stan typically uses his shades, but if a shield can be flung effectively, why can't anything else? Easier to throw small stuff, though. More believable.
All you need is that suspension of disbelief, kid. It'll take you to places you could've never imagined.

The blade is made of scrap metal Ray had left in his resource bag pack. The handle is made of wood, not the most solid wood in existence, proven by the various scraps on it, but it serves its purpose
Ray created it a couple of years ago, and for some inexplicable reason, it came to life. Sort of. Moldecast speaks to Ray via telepathy, and it tells him to fuck anyone who wronged him up. It’s like the devil on Ray’s shoulder. Moldecast can’t move, only able to look around when Ray is holding it, but it can speak to Ray at any and all times. Ray suspects that Moldecast becomes stronger the angrier Ray gets.
