In this example the mob will create an explosion effect around them that inflicts 10 damage (5 hearts) to players within a radius of 5 blocks and will knock them back. Giving the illusion of a powerful explosion.

This complex example shows how the throw mechanic can be used in conjunction with other mechanics to make quite amazing effects. The caster unleashes a powerful shockwave that deals 50 damage (25 hearts) to all players within 10 blocks and using the throw mechanic causes them to be flung a small bit into the air. There is also extra effects added to make the attack more appealing to look at and intimidating.
