In-game description

Dagger engraved with a smithscript.

Reduced mass enhances the effects of the smithing arts, allowing this weapon to function as a throwing dagger for all attacks. Once thrown, the dagger instantly reappears in the wielder's hand. Incompatible with ashes of war that grant skills with an affinity.

Attack rating by affinity 13

At Str 10 · Dex 11 · Int 11 · Fai 11 · Arc 10 (each stat at the weapon's requirement, 10 where it has none), one-handed.
