'''Blades of Reason''' are specialised instruments of torture <sup>2</sup> used by the [[Asmodai]], [[Interrogator-Chaplain|Master Interrogator-Chaplain]] s of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]].<sup>11a</sup>.
Capable of being forged into many forms{{Cite This}}Ancient knife-shaped devices<sup>1b</sup>, Blades of Reason are normally small edged weapons{{Cite This}} that are etched with an incredibly complex set of neural wires, which are designed to cause intense pain to nerve systems they come into contact with<sup>11b,2</sup>. Though capable of causing extraordinary amounts of pain, the Blades of Reason are not inimically fatal and so can be used on a victim virtually indefinitely<sup>12</sup>.A victim of the Blades of Reason is normally expected to become broken both physically and mentally, and to confess to all their sins<sup>2</sup>. The Interrogator-Chaplain makes particular use of them upon captured [[Fallen]]<sup>12</sup>, but they serve also as means to get informations from generic captured enemies (except [[Necrons]] and [[Tyranids]], due to their physiology)<sup>1b</sup>.
