it’s looking more and more like only gems that were made for combat have weapons given lapis/ bismuth/ sapphire/ peridot don’t seem to have an actual weapon for fighting… but where does that leave pearl? is her will to stab people so strong she just managed to manifest her very own stabber or what
i really like the idea that it’s supposed to be a fancy non-functional ceremonial scepter that she turned into a weapon mainly with determined trial and error and physics/engineering skillz, THAT SAID ‘u ever get so mad you manifest a magical weapon you were never intended to wield’ would be the best pearl backstory we could possibly ask for
