Deathscythe

Deathscythe is an otherworldly spell that consists on a continuous supply of tiny scythes (or sickles) which materialize on the screen at random locations and twirl about, cutting the caster's enemies to pieces. It's one of the signature attacks of Death, used in every one of his appearances throughout the series (with the exception of Lament of Innocence). Some playable characters are able to use this attack as well, usually obtained after defeating Death, after whom the attack is named.
Soma Cruz is able to use this attack after gaining Death's soul in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Dawn of Sorrow and Harmony of Despair. Charlotte Aulin is also able to learn this spell by blocking Death's attack with her Book of Binding in Harmony of Despair.
Death briefly used this attack on Reinhardt Schneider atop the Room of Clocks in an attempt to kill him, with Schneider dodging all but one of them, although then Rosa suddenly came out of nowhere and saved his life by sacrificing herself, blocking the weapon with her own body.

==Trivia==
*This attack is called "Death Sickle" in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, although it will actually spawn tiny scythes. Oddly enough, this same attack is called "Death Scythe" in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, although this time many sickles will be spawned.
*The fact that both tiny scythes and sickles have indistinctively been used to portray the same function may be due to them both being reaping tools, which would allude to their main user, Death, who is commonly referred to as the "reaper of souls".
