A '''chakram''' is a type of [[ranged weapon]] that appears in ''[[SpliceHack]]'' and ''[[Hack'EM]]''. It is made of [[iron]], and can be stacked and [[multishot]]. When unidentified, it appears as a '''circular blade'''.

In [[SpliceHack]], the base material is silver.

== Boomerang skill ==
{{boomerang skill table}}

Chakrams are a new weapon that uses '''boomerang skill'''.

==Description==

Like boomerangs, chakrams will not return if their path is blocked by a wall, or if they move over a [[sink]]. Chakrams also have the same flight patterns as boomerangs. When used as a melee weapon rather than thrown, damage output is reduced to 1-2 points.

In Hack'EM, the mechanics of boomerangs have been updated so that they can slice *through* enemies in their path instead of always stopping at the first enemy hit. The higher your skill in boomerang, the more likely your chakram will continue through the enemies.

Although chakram have a base material of iron, they can also appear in other shiny materials: silver, gold, mithril, copper, steel, and platinum.

== Strategy ==

In Hack'EM you can #craft new chakrams by forging boomerangs and shuriken together.

Chakrams can be poisoned and sharpened with [[whetstone]]s.

==History==
The chakram first appears in [[SpliceHack]].

== Encyclopedia entry ==
{{encyclopedia|
The people of the kingdom ... are very good fighting men and good
knights, armed with many kinds of weapons; they are great bowmen,
and very strong men; they have very good lances, swords, daggers,
steel maces, and battle-axes, with which they fight; and they have
some steel wheels, which they call chakarani, two fingers broad,
sharp outside like knives, and without edge inside; and the
surface of these is of the size of a small plate. And they carry
seven or eight of these each, put on the left arm; and they take
one and put it on the finger of the right hand, and make it spin
round many times, and so they hurl it at their enemies, and if
they hit anyone on the arm or leg or neck, it cuts through all.
And with these they carry on much fighting, and are very
dexterous with them.
[ Duarte Barbosa (1970). A Description of the Coasts of East
Africa and Malabar. ]
