Use exotic throwing stars gift set

When you hurl the large disc, the blue giant briefly teleports your opponent to Mars, without providing any subsequent life support, like oxygen or insulation. It's only for a few moments, but when they come back your enemy is worse for the wear, to the tune of ?-58-? damage.

Sometimes in addition:

The shock from the cold stuns your opponent.

or

Pow! The blue giant goes supernova when it hits the <foe>, bursting in a massive explosion of ... frost? Based on what some say, you would expect a star to end in fire, but this one apparently thinks well of ice. Perhaps this is its second time around. In any case, it delivers a massive wave of icy shards that do X damage.

Notes

• Stuns for one round (the round in which it was used).

References

• A blue giant is a type of star. As the description suggests, can be with a spectral type of O or B.
