That's it. That's the post. I just think needing to take Additional Ikon for another weapon ikon to dual-wield is a bit too restrictive. Especially since they made the perfect dual-wield feat in Twin Stars.

It feels a bit like that might be RAI, clarification would be nice
I would hope it would be RAI, but yeah needs clarification. Now trying to figure out what would be the best/most thematic weapon for it.
Watching a video of some people going over the playtest and they suggested a Starknife for the Fated Shot Ikon and that made me wonder how things like Ikons and feats that specify a Ranged Weapon work with Thrown Weapons that are technically a Melee Weapon. Yes you can make ranged attacks with thrown weapons, but not sure if they count as a Ranged Weapon for Ikons and Feats like Through the Needle's Eye.
Now of course Starknife can already be used by Mated Birds in Paired Flight.
Also like the idea of going Dwarf and making your Ikon Weapon a Dwarven Thrower, grab Twin Stars, maybe Titan's Breaker for Ikon if it can work with a thrown hammer, maybe Whose Cry is Thunder, Hurl at the Horizon, Mated Bird's in Paired Flight assuming it works with Twin Stars, Infinite Blades Celestial Arrow, maybe Seven-Colored Cosmic Bridge or Eternity-Incinerating Blaze just for more effects as you throw all your crazy hammers. Dwarf Thoring it up. Though Infinite Blades Celestial Arrow almost sounds more like a Loki kind of thing with duplicate weapons raining down.
Though I do have to wonder how any Throwing Weapon Ikon attacks work before you manage to get Returning on your weapon.

It feels like the two should work because otherwise the only other way to get this feat is to invest in the 8th level feat to get an extra ikon and picking weapon.

Beyond just these two, it (at least to me and my group) feels like Twin Stars, Hurl at the Horizon, and Mated Birds in Paired Flight are intended to be a chain letting you turn any one-handed melee weapon into a dual-wielding thrown combatant.
