For the spiked Kusarigama, the ball at the end of the chain has spikes. The ball at the end of the 9-12' chain is a reach weapon. When using it as a double weapon, the Kama end is considered the light weapon. The weapon threatens both near (5') and far opponents (10').

The ball & chain portion acts like a spiked chain when used as a single attack.

To use the ball & chain (and the spiked chain for that matter), you need to have the area around you clear of obstacles.
