radiant damage to the target.

it as if it had the thrown property with a normal range of
60 feet and a long range of^180 feet. Whether it hits or
misses, the axe flies back to you at the end of the current
turn, landing in your open hand or al your feet in your
space (as you choose). The axe regains all expended
charges daily at dawn.
