What is the most powerful weapon (according to lore) in the game?
I've always thought about this while playing, what is the strongest weapon? We have weapons like ruinous effigy that can turn people into volatile spheres. Then we have touch of malice, which was made from the corpse of a hive god. And to top it all of we have bad juju, which is said to be capable of destroying existence itself. With weapons like these I really wonder how we haven't killed the witness already.

Powerful is misleading when it comes to paracausality. It’s not a simple numbers game like Light Level suggests. There was a lot of mention of willpower, imposing what you want upon reality and using the powers to enact it. And how our Light empowers our gear. So when we use Ruinous Effigy, a major component of its power is us. Our power and our will. However there is a flip side that hasn’t really been explored since TTK due to retcons. Power crystals. Like in Oryxs sword and inside the Shell of the Traveler. These crystals seem to be able to store and empower the weapon over time with some permanence, we didn’t see Oryx drain it to empower himself against us (which may have tipped the scales tbh) But the fact that they have seemingly ignored this facet? Kinda becomes meaningless.
