[@Bombardier] Well shit. I meant scythe. Pft. It's the classic Grim Reaper [url=http://www.fancy-dress-forever.co.uk/shopimages/products/extras/Grim%20Reaper%20Scythe%2024189.jpg]scyth.[/url] Reaper's wield a large scyth which they can summon at whenever a human body of 70% or more soul detachment is near. Reaper's use it to harvest souls, although some say he just touches the person to pop their soul so they don’t feel pain when they die. 

Also, collecting a Reaper's soul is a bit painful for other Reaper's.
