I would guess that the idea you're thinking of would be allowed, as, from what I know, different variants of weaponry are allowed as long as the said weapon doesn't copy the original weapon (i.e Ruby's scythe) too much. Take Jaune's sword and shield for example. A lot of OCs on this website has swords and shields as their type of weapon. Using historical variants of weaponry (such as pole arms) are also allowed, as long as they don't downright copy a canon character's own weapon. Like, don't create a weapon that looks and is used exactly like Ruby's scythe. And don't worry, your question isn't stupid. I hope this helped you!
