The scythe of Curses will often drain monsters, in addition to inflicting Necromancy miscasts on them a la mummy death curses (slow, rot, summoned undead and demonic allies). These summoned allies, coupled with the weapon's excellent enchantment bonuses, can devastate opponents. Unfortunately, it will also curse random inventory items, and has a terrible weapon as its base type. Only consider it if you already have very high skill in polearms, really don't care about your inventory being cursed constantly, and are facing opponents which will actually be affected by the Necromancy miscasts (though summoned reapers and soul eaters are always useful).
Ashenzari blocks the curses if you worship him, preventing them from affecting you.
