Howdy
Am I correct that a magic Atatli such as the Alchemist's Atlati should follow the normal rules for Atlati? i.e. rapid reload Atlati allowing it to become a free action.
Does any rule I am unaware of state that magic versions don't operate under the normal version's rules?
Alchemist's Atlati:
Alchemist's Atlatl
Source Ranged Tactics Toolbox pg. 28
Aura faint transmutation; CL 1st
Slot none; Price 1,500 gp; Weight 2 lbs.
Description
This wooden atlatl resembles a handheld, lever-controlled catapult. One end sports a shaft covered in carvings of alchemical formulae, and the other is a roughly carved bowl. The user can place an alchemical splash weapon, such as a flask of acid or alchemist’s fire, in the bowl. This is a move action that provokes an attack of opportunity. When the splash weapon is launched from the atlatl, its range is doubled. Magic items (including an alchemist’s bombs) aren’t affected by an alchemist’s atlatl.

Cost 2 gp Weight 2 lbs.
Damage 1d4 (small), 1d6 (medium); Critical x2; Range 50 ft.; Type P; Special —
Category Ranged; Proficiency Martial
Weapon Groups Thrown
Description
This Stone Age weapon is a thin piece of wood or antler used as a lever to hurl a specially fitted dart. An atlatl gives much greater range to a dart, but must be loaded like a projectile weapon. Your Strength modifier applies to damage rolls when you use an atlatl, just as it does for thrown weapons. You can fire—but not load—an atlatl with one hand. Loading an atlatl is a move action that requires two hands and provokes attacks of opportunity. The Rapid Reload feat can be taken for atlatls, allowing you to load a dart as a free action.
