That sounds like a Dungeons and Dragons artifact item... invoking the
orb of confusion is a standard action that does not provoke an Attack
of Opportunity.

I don't really see why it shouldn't be valid to use the class itself
in this way. Once the constructor returns, the object IS the return
value.

But then, my opinion may not be valid. I've done weird things in C++
where, for instance, the invocation of a modeless dialog is:

new FoobarDialog(params);

And somewhere it has an event (eg when the window is destroyed) that executes:

delete this;

I'm a little mad and generally silly, so my opinion doesn't matter
(matter matter matter matter). But it did work, and the code was nice
and clean!
