\n* **Crafting Limit:** You can limit how many scythes can ever be crafted on your server via the `config.yml`.<\/p>\n

\n* **Mechanic:** Triggers a devastating Area-of-Effect (AoE) attack around the player.
\n* **Effects:** Deals configurable base damage to all nearby hostile entities.
\n* **Debuff:** All affected mobs are afflicted with **Wither II** for a short duration, weakening them further.
\n* **Cooldown:** Controlled by a configurable cooldown system.<\/p>\n
**4. Passive On-Kill Effect: Death Speed**
\nThe Scythe steals the speed of those it slays.
