- “Prepare thyself for oblivion!”
- —Death upon Powerword Die's activation.
Powerword Die is a special ability of the Blade of Awe. It has a 1.5% chance of occurring.
On activation, a magic circle containing the eight elemental symbols will hover over the battlefield. Then, Death appears and launches a string of five attacks, with the first and second dealing enough damage to reduce the monster's health to 0.
However, some enemies that are beyond Death's power can resist damage. In such a case, Death says "Thou art beyond my power but not my wrath" and attacks the monster, dealing damage equal to about half the monster's health. A handful of enemies are capable of reflecting the damage back at the player, resulting in an instant death.

PWD Rules:
- Power Level of PWD is equal to the power level of the item it comes from.
- A monsters effective level is the monster level + 10 * the power modiifer (1 for a normal monster, 2 for a boss, etc.)
- If your Power Level +35 >= monsters effective level then, 100% chance to kill
Otherwise
- ChanceToKill = (50 + Power Level + 35 - effective monster level) %
- If ChanceToKill is less than 0 and the monster's power modifier is 1.25 / champion or less, then the ChanceToKill is set to 1%.
- ChanceToKill is the chance of power word die killing the monster as a %. If Power Word die doesn't auto kill the monster it will use the same fallback attack it uses for monsters who are immune to power word die.
