When you draw a knife, roll a d20 to determine its enchantment. You cannot look inside the box, return a knife once drawn, or hold more than one at a time. A drawn knife must be thrown immediately as part of the same action.

Each knife is treated as a ranged weapon attack (range 60 ft.), using your normal attack and proficiency bonuses for thrown daggers. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 Piercing damage, plus the effect determined by your d20 roll.

If you attempt to use a knife for a melee weapon attack, it deals half damage and its magical effect does not trigger.
