The Clockwork Scythe has decent range, but does not attack very quickly. Its claim to fame is its chainsaw like effect which can be accessed by slotting either the Scholar's Wormstone or Clockwork Shardstone.
“The ambitious instrument of a madman or a genius, perhaps he was in fact both.”
Acquisition
