Changes

When killing a living creature with its attacks or ingrained spells, ''dark harvest'' recovers one charge. It recovers 2 charges from a creature whose [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] is at least the weapon's CL - 3, and 3 charges from a creature whose [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] is at least the weapon's CL + 3. Any creatures so creature killed by the dark harvest's critical slaying attack replenishes twice the number of charges it normally would. Creatures weak that enough to be killed outright by the dark harvest's ''[[SRD:Blasphemy|blasphemy]]'' effect would kill it outright do not replenish any charges. [[SRD:Summoning Subschool|Summoned]] creatures also cannot replenish a dark harvest scythe, but [[SRD:Calling Subschool|called]] creatures can. Charges recovered over the maximum of 5 are channeled in a burst of negative energy that empowers the dark harvest's next melee attack. This attack, if successful, deals +2d6 points of vile damage per point of overcharge.
