Notes

• Makes gifts combat items, dealing damage that appears to scale to the rarity of the item. Items purchased from the gift shop appear to do slightly more than 10% of their price in damage. As of 29 June 2013, spading is ongoing by /hardcore.
• While it uses the "Items" menu in combat, and works with funkslinging, the V for Vivala mask does not increase gift item damage (there was a bug where it did on the rollout of the content, though).
• Using URL manipulation, a player may throw any gift item. However, since this is unintentional, no message is given and 0 damage is done. Two exceptions to this are the left and right halves of a heart necklace, which have messages, but display %dmg for their damage (and deal 0 damage).

• The final line of the description is a reference to the law of the instrument.
