Death Dart II (Magic Dart)

This rare item always appears as a small, coin sized disc of brass, with compass directions engraved on one side, and a command word on the other. The side with the compass points has a brass pointer on it, set on a central swivel like the hands of a clock.
The dart only operates when it is held in the open hand of a living being. When it is held as the command word is spoken, the disc instantly becomes a dart, and flashes from the wielder's hand in a straight line, at the height held, in the direction that the pointer is set (“north-northeast”). Upon striking a target (attack roll not required if a creature is in the flight path) or reaching its outer limit of 120 feet, the dart drops harmlessly to the ground, and instantly reverts to disc form. The dart deals any struck target 1d4 hp of damage (no saving throw). Changing the direction of the pointer must be done manually, and takes one round. The knowledge of how to make these darts is thought to have been lost long ago. A dart of death is usable by any living creature able to hold it and pronounce the command word simultaneously.
