Statistical Progression Summary

Stage Damage Range Attack Speed Soul Harvest Effects
Void Base 110 6m arc 1.8s Basic soul harvesting + void storage
+ Pyrion 210 6m + 4m fire 1.5s + Divine fire soul burning
+ Thalassos 300 8m + dimensional 1.2s + Pressure crushing + reality severing
+ Vaporis 375 10m omni-radius 0.8s + Steam processing + mechanical precision

Power Level Progression

Tier 1 (Void): Death Domain Weapon - Soul harvesting and void access
Tier 2 (+ Pyrion): Divine Death Reaper - Eternal burning soul collection
Tier 3 (+ Thalassos): Reality-Severing Harvester - Multi-dimensional soul reaping
Tier 4 (+ Vaporis): Cosmic Soul Processor - Omni-reality harvesting with mechanical optimization


Divine Equipment Limitation System

Partial Legendary Access for Divine Entities

Gods/Demigods Equipment Rules:

  • Base Weapon: Always receive the foundational weapon from one world
  • +2 Augments: Get exactly 2 additional world enhancements (randomized)
  • Time Lords Only: Full 4-world legendary weapons reserved for cosmic supreme entities
  • Power Balance: Ensures even divine entities cannot match Time Lord ultimate equipment

Example Divine Equipment Variants:

Death Incarnate's Scythe (Base + Pyrion + Thalassos):

  • Shadow void harvesting + Divine fire burning + Reality-crushing pressure
  • Missing: Steam processing and mechanical consciousness
  • Power Level: Reality-Severing but not Cosmic-level

War Incarnate's Sword (Base + Subterra + Vaporis):

  • Divine fire foundation + Geological resonance + Steam-mechanical evolution
  • Missing: Abyssal pressure and reality-cutting
  • Power Level: Planetary-devastation but not Reality-transcending

Randomization Examples:

  • Roll 1d4 for base world, then roll 2d3 for additional augments
  • Ensures variety in divine equipment loadouts
  • Maintains mystery about which powers divine entities will possess

Crafting Requirements Summary

Total Time Investment: ~4 years across 4 worlds
Master Craftsmen Required: 4 (Void Council, God-Touched, Trench Lord, Master Engineer)
Mortality Risk: Extreme - void exposure, divine fire, crushing pressure, mechanical consciousness integration
Material Cost: Cosmic-level (crystallized void, divine essence, reality-anchor materials, consciousness cores)
Wielder Requirements: Must survive void exposure, divine fire, reality distortion, and mechanical consciousness integration

Ultimate Capability: A scythe that harvests souls across multiple reality states simultaneously, processes them through steam-powered void machinery, and stores unlimited spiritual essence for cosmic-level power generation.

Divine Limitation Significance: By limiting gods and demigods to partial legendary weapons, the Time Lords maintain absolute cosmic supremacy while still allowing divine entities impressive power levels.

This scythe progression demonstrates the ultimate soul-harvesting weapon while establishing the equipment hierarchy that maintains cosmic balance.
