[THE SUN] Scythe of the Burning Bloom

Weapon (glaive, scythe-flavored), very rare (requires attunement by Philippa Rougetoison)

“Where the dying embers fall, life will rise in blazing glory.
Wield the flame that both nourishes and devours, and the world shall blossom or burn at your whim.
The Sun blesses and scorches with equal fury.”

Forged from a sliver of the Arbre-Soleil and curved like a crescent moon alight with golden flame, this radiant scythe was not meant for war,  it was made for harvest. Every arc of its blade leaves behind petals of fire, reaping both life and shadow in equal measure.
