Talk:Manus Catalyst/@comment-25950924-20150118025909

So this catalyst and the Tin Crystallization Catalyst boosts the power and halves costs of pyromancy and miracles in addition to sorcery? I don't understand how that works unless you're holding the catalyst in one hand and the talisman/pyromancy flame in the other.

Another thing about this I noticed compared to TCC is the melee damage for Manus Catalyst scales better with strength and does strike damage which enemies tend to be weaker. So it might do more damage than the TCC even though it has lower base damage, still  probably   not the best choice for melee weapon unless your eq load is near max. On the other hand it seems like it would be a lot of fun to bash someone with this.
