Death Sickle

Dropped by Reapers during a Solar Eclipse event. The 'deathly sickle' has a fair range, passes through blocks, does a slight knock back and leaves a fair amount of light. Excellent for mining and fighting as the 'sickles' hover for a second or two hitting a target multiple times when they reach maximum range. Death Sickle can be swung automatically by holding down the attack button, similar to the Excalibur, Muramasa, Cobalt Sword and Phasesaber.



Trivia

 * Despite its name, it resembles a scythe, which is a specific type of sickle. These are used for harvesting grains and other crops as well as souls...
 * This may be a reference to the Castlevania series' "Death" boss, who uses a scythe and summons scythes to attack.
