I am well aware the chain sucks and so dose the wood look on the last one...still its a start :P

Alil Bio info on it

The Staff of darkness is a separating staff in its basic modes, it can go for yards and miles its meant to be used to snare, subdue, crush demonic entities. The blade is used for cleaving and storage of souls. The runes on act as a archaic control system, the more runes the more power it controls.

However this staff is cursed with every level raised madness seeps in corrupting the user, only pain or lust can sate and slow the encroaching darkness.

But because of the cruse it has far more power than a normal Death enforcement weapon. The staff of darkness is built from a mostly purged but corrupted and cursed dark scythe an agent of death used to bring justice to" balance destroying" entities.Over time the weapon gt more and more corrupted and before it could be destroyed some fool went and stole it and used it to try and take over the universe but it eventauly ate him. Begin filled with so much chaotic engery the lord of power was only able to reforge it using a peice of his own soul as a catalyst to make it manageable. He could store it but it already devoured a few planetary systems by absorbing life force and souls. Hell in order tog et it not only didthe Lord of Power have to get to the weapon itself but inside tis pocket dimension to subdue or destroy some of the chaotic begins within it.

Mode Zero(If you will) is a simple carry rod mode, soemtiems its unstable and neds to be banaaed up with seals on it I have it banaged up but not with the seals on peices of peaper I want to use Kanji seal tags/charms but have yet to find any.

Mode 1:Staff mode that can separate into endless amounts of controllable chain.

Mode 2: Blade or scythe mode, this mode spews out small amounts of chaotic influence but can drain energy and cleave souls and cut through denominational walls at full power. The blade is multi positional and can be combined separating staff or chain mode.

Mode 3:The true scythe mode that drives the user to insanity, the weapon is hard to control in this mode and can not be separated but you still can make chain grow out of it through mini rips in space.

Mode 4:The final mode is the darkest scythe mode the black rune staff becomes enveloped in gnarled wood like bio matter everything on it becomes warped sending the user into the lowest depths of madness.
