Hear me, oh people impressed with lore, for I make this post to preserve our precious history. Behold the origins of the scythe. Confirming their insanity, Vanu scientists managed to attach afterburners to our lovable Magrider. Excellent for escaping sticky situations, traversing rough terrain, or dramatic jumps over steep edges, the Magburner offers a boost of speed coupled with a small upward thrust. Historians rightly point out the cost of this equipment, for it does have a grim history. Long ago, Vanu scientists attempted to triple the Magburner's boost power in exchange for less armor and a smaller gun. Twelve scientists died in the first 2.8 seconds of the experiment, and a week later the original Scythe prototype was introduced.
