Oh, he is a genius. But he's also high on all his stimulants, plus the revive, plus exhaustion. Plus, he got a glimpse of the shadow realm. He's gonna be a bit vicious. And slightly idiotic, but more vicious. The way he sees it, Phantomere is dead, and he wants something to remember the fucker by, plus a specimen to do research on.
I'm thinking something along the lines of "Ah, general. What power. What skill. A pity you couldn't put it to good use, say, to save your brother." *flicks blade into air, catches it* "Phantomere died, General. We saw him go out in a blaze of light. It was... legendary. *chuckle* I shattered his scythe, General, I spat on his corpse. We've killed one of your kind, not easily... but we killed him. He burned. What makes you think you can stand against us?"
And yes, it would make a kickass weapon. Though, of course, it draws its power from all that is Ruinous. Which he's currently trying to destroy.
If he's gonna weaponize it, he'll need to slide a bit down the evil slope.
