Ebonywood Hellscythe (Weapon)

300 OM - Requires: Physical Strength

Ebonywood Hellscythe's scythe is an ebonywood hellscythe. The pole is 5ft/1.5m long and made of dark black ebony. It's smooth to touch and feels slightly warm. Attached to the top is a curved silver blade that's 3inches/7.6cm tall where it joins the pole and about 1cm wide. The blade stretches and curves for 2ft/0.6m where it slowly gets narrower and shorter until it eventually reaches a fine point. While made of wood and silver, the scythe is incredibly durable and resilient, so even the narrower points of the blade will require very considerable stress to break.

Carrying a scythe that's almost as tall as you everywhere can get very tiring. Even if it's super cool and Ebony is much stronger than her appearance would suggest. If the scythe is ever more than 5m/16ft from Ebony it disappears. When this happens, parts of the scythe fall off rapidly as small dark, glowing, purple flecks that dissolve into the air. If Ebony maintains line of sight with her scythe and focuses on it then she can choose to prevent this effect. Also, Ebony can say a 5-second enchantment to cause the disappearing effect on purpose.

To regain the scythe, Ebony has to stand still and focus. Over the first 3 seconds she chants and spreads out her hands, this causes the staff to form from glowing dark purple magic. Them she chants for 2 more seconds and spins the staff. When this happens one of the ends glows purple and the blade forms off it. This is not a draining process. If the scythe is used to attack with before fully forming, it will shatter and dissolve into the air.

Ebony attacks with her scythe spinning the sharp edge of the blade towards her opponent, or by using the ebony staff to attempt to pummel them. She needs to use both hands to use the scythe effectively. It may be held in one hand, but only attacking with one will make it much more unwieldy than it already is. When attacked with, the scythe blade leaves a trail of harmless deep purple flames. These dissipate quickly. Furthermore, while using her scythe, Ebony's eyes glow red.
