Kingdom of the Dead --> Sentinel's Gaze --> Boneriven

Attributes

Black Demise

In-game description

"Black Demise is a weapon with a long and bloody history amongst the demon lords.

Bound with unholy blazing runes of power, Black Demise seizes the inner strength of every opponent and adds it to that of its wielder."

Angel of Death Scythes

In-game description

Location

Attributes

Demonflame Renders

In-game description

"Forged in a blast furnace by the demon lord Belial, the Demonflame Renders flare with hellish heat and flame that causes enemies to explode into flames with every strike. Originally meant to serve as a gift to secure favors from Lilith, the Renders were stolen by one of Belial's many rivals... or so he claimed. Whatever the truth, the scythes disappeared for an age, lost or secreted away. The merchant Ostegoth claims that the scythes are loose, seeking out a new and more worthy owner - perhaps these weapons are possessed of a similar hubris to the Demon Lord who created them."

GnoMAD Scythes

"These weapons were forged for the hand of a swashbuckling rogue who relied more upon luck than his own skills at arms. Bound within each blade is the essence of a trickster spirit, surging with an erratic and unpredictable power when wielded in battle. Each strike has a chance to channel a random elemental effect into its victim, or to simply blast him back with a wave of mischievous force."

The Dead Lord's name and his fate are lost and unknown, even to the Scribes of the Ivory Citadel. The Barbed Defilers absorbed some of the strange energies within the far reaches of the Abyss. Thus, the blades defile any foe they strike, weakening the enemy. Similarly, the scythes increase in power based on the Arcane strength of their wielder."

I think the arcing effect on demon storm makes nearby enemies take some damage too. It certainly looks like it to me

[DeadNDazed]

[Marthos]

why did you put "???" at static shock? its pretty clear , you do shock damage so you could've said "shock damage"
