Capabilities

User, either innately or through training, are masters of using a pair of scissors as a melee weapon with supernatural accuracy and proficiency, as effective as swordsmen utilizing swords or gunmen using firearms. They can wield scissors as though they are extensions of their body parts, easily slicing through steel and other defensive materials, dependent on the weapon's sharpness and the user's strength, without causing recoil damage to the weapon. Defensively, the user can block and deflect attacks, even cut up projectiles in mid-flight.

The scissors may also be disconnected at the joints, becoming dual blades that the user can wield as swords or scythes, depending on whether the scissors are straight-edged or curved. If innovative enough, the user can add an elastic string between the two blades for a makeshift slingshot or throw the scissors with amazing accuracy.
