And even then, the ammunition is destroyed if you hit your target. So if you are thinking about having throwing weapons enchanted, be sure to avoid shuriken, as they are treated as ammunition. Also, a returning weapon that casts heal on your ally will be horrendously expensive (even if the DM allows it), unless it is a one-shot item, and even then, it'll be pricey.

The arrow of cure light wounds is in Sword and Fist, I think. And unless the item description states that the arrow doesn't deal damage, it will hurt whoever you shoot before the magic goes off. So make sure you don't kill your target and render the healing pointless.
