During his sabbatical, Jobie modified his scythe, adding a locking brace on the bottom to hook up to another saber to make a double-blade weapon, or a Phrik extension to make a full size two-handed scythe handle. He also sharpened the back edge of the scythe, to make the weapon function better against lightsaber resistant materials, and also added a series of sharp grooves at the top to stop enemy weapons from sliding along the smooth Phrik.
