we are getting litrally anything as a catayst huh? like wtf is this thing , what does it do irl ToT

These are the just the hair that the new Neu outfits doesn't have lol, its the orb/marble from nodkrai and Neu's cut off hair 🤣

you list these examples and a magical moon mirror is where you draw the line?

I assumed it was a crystal orb psychics use or at least evoking that imagery

do you think a catalyst has to be a book or something?

thats literally one of the most catalyst looking catalysts ive ever seen

Because Catalyst didn't get defined by their shape. It channels her power, which is Moon.

Most catalysts in this game are either books or rings with things floating in the middle. And all of them were like that up until Sumeru.

The ones that are practical non-magical objects like a beach ball or a drone are the odd ones out.

Better than endless books. Lore -wise catalysts aren't magic tomes, but simply objects that help to concentrate elemental energy and to focus it on whatever is aimed at. It can be anything, including a drone or beach ball.

We have twirling orbs since 1.0. Columbina's catalyst simply looks like an enhanced frost moon marrow, which is perfectly fitting

it's a catalyst irl too lol do you think magic wands have another purpose?

It's literally a fucking moon bro. What else do you want in a Catalyst for a character who comes from a moon and now has the authority of three fucking moons

Catalysts like its name can be any object that channels power/reaction. So yeah, anything

It's Neuv's hair.
