May not be used by Slayer characters. A weapon with the Master Rune of Flight functions exactly as a thrown weapon with a range of 12", with the exception that it may target any enemy model within line of sight of the wielder that is not involved in a close combat. The target is automatically hit once as if the two models were in close combat (thus any additional runes on the weapon take effect), then the hammer flies back into the welder's hand.

In addition, a weapon with this rune may be used in close combat as a hand weapon, although this rune has no effect in close combat beyond making the hand weapon magical.
