Bit of a stretch IMO; but awesome enough I would allow it (and ask for it to be allowed)
It is a stretch, and by stretch I mean no it's not like that at all. Beginning sentence is the intro and has time after time been proven to mean little*. The mechanical rules follow afterwards which state the exact effects. Aside from that, just read it. The statement isn't saying that a Kusari-gama
is a Spiked Chain (which is all Shadow Blade cares about) but it can be
used like a Spiked Chain. Like a knife can be used as a screwdriver or rice can be used like spaghetti noodles.
*See Powerful Build, Precarious Apprentice, Righteous Might, Lich Transformation, etc.
