Quivering Palm (Su): Starting at 15th level, a monk can set up vibrations within the body of another creature that can thereafter be fatal if the monk so desires. He can use this quivering palm attack once per day, and he must announce his intent before making his attack roll. Creatures immune to critical hits cannot be affected. Otherwise, if the monk strikes successfully and the target takes damage from the blow, the quivering palm attack succeeds. Thereafter, the monk can try to slay the victim at any later time, as long as the attempt is made within a number of days equal to his monk level. To make such an attempt, the monk merely wills the target to die (a free action), and unless the target makes a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the monk's level + the monk's Wis modifier), it dies. If the saving throw is successful, the target is no longer in danger from that particular quivering palm attack, but it may still be affected by another one at a later time. A monk can have no more than 1 quivering palm in effect at one time. If a monk uses quivering palm while another is still in effect, the previous effect is negated.
Am i wrong or nowhere it states any kind of restriction of the kind of blow you are supposed to deliver?
I have read of people using quivering palm with arrows after they are extremely high level Zen Archers and qualify for the feat.
However that is by RAW, which if taken at face value means that a monk could use the ray spell off a magic item perhaps? I could see a Wisdom In the Flesh: UMD monk shooting a ray quivering palm.
so Quivering Shurikens should be ok, as well as quivering dart ecc. as long as they manage to deal at least one point of damage right?
Well I would imagine the weapon would have to have the ki focus property.
RAW only requires damage done. But since it's called quivering PALM I'd say it should have to be an unarmed attack.

After you play Pathfinder for a few days you immediately recoignize that going down this route is a dangerous path. Or are you advocating that the "immortality" discover should render you actual immortal since it's called immortality?
