Reminder that scythes are shitty weapons
I'm willing to overlook that in the name of fun, though.

You make people obsessed with katanas look a million times cooler

I really hate the "there are things in this universe not in ours so things that are the same should function differently" meme

I agree... mostly. But it's largely thematic. Why can't you have a warhammer that reaps the soul of any skull it crushes? Why does it have to be an enchanted scythe?

Weapons should function exactly the same as in our world, only some of them should be magic.

Because agriculture.

So it would be interesting if a culture had different implements for harvesting. Say a large hammer that hits tree to knock off coconuts. Or a great spade that uproots unknowing turnips and sends them to their next life. Imagine what the Reaper Men of other, flatter worlds may utilize. Or of the colder, harsher world's, where the mechanical thresher holds sway.

If they function the same as in our world then all slashing and cutting weapons that don't cauterize wounds should always inflict a certain range of bleed damage from negligible to the "You have roughly a minute to live". Among other things.
