Spiral Hell Scythe
The scythe is a multi function weapon system, utilizing super heated plasma for both melee and ranged attacks. Plasma is shaped and held into a blade-like form by a small electromagnetic-field generator built into the shaft of the weapon. A fail-safe is active when not wielding the weapon directly, the shaft must be under pressure from the handler to be activated so that the weapon can be stored safely. The plasma can take the form of a curved or straight blade extending out from the emitter on the end of the weapon, as well as being projected out as a charged particle bolt for ranged attacks.
