==Gameplay==
This weapon fires a [[Void]] beam. Enemies killed by this weapon turn into Transmutation Spheres.
===Transmutaion Spheres=== 
Transmutation Spheres have 3 abilities: Heavy Attack, Light Attack, and Guard/Drain. The Sphere has an ammo counter that goes down as time passes. The Heavy attack consumes all ammo and does devastating damage to the area around it. A heavy attack at full ammo will do the same damage as a heavy attack at 5 ammo.  The Light attack consumes 1 ammo and does a small amount of damage. The Drain/Guard ability slowly damages enemies within the vicinity and regenerates the user's health. It also provides a bonus to damages resistance. This ability slowly consumes ammo and can be used past 1 ammo, but in doing so damages the player.
===Catalyst===
Source: Kill an enemy with a Transmutation Sphere
Masterwork Objective: Defeat 5,000 enemies with this weapon. Destroying Savathun's Eyes with this weapon gives bonus progress.
Enemies damaged by Transmutation Spheres take more damage from the Ruinous Effigy.

''From the many wings of ruin blows a wind that will reshape this dead world.''

"That's not right."
Banshee-44 taps a spectral analyzer against the Effigy's frame.
Commander Zavala turns, closes the lid on a small golden weapon case, and walks to Banshee's side. "What have you found?"
"Well, it's not petrified wood, but it is organic."
"That's troubling," Zavala says and moves to run his fingers over the weapon's frame.
"I wouldn't."
A shallow cold saps the heat from Zavala's fingertips; he pulls back. "This wasn't in Eris's report." His voice is thin and stark with disappointment, as if spoken through dead winter air.
"Guardian doesn't seem to notice either." Banshee clinks the analyzer into a tool tray. "Leeches a bit, kicks out Void. Sig's hazy, though. Wild."
Long quiet overtakes the workshop, imposed by shuttered windows and empty streets below.
They stand over the weapon. Banshee stares down and nods along to the ambient static
"What were you saying?" The weapon master's voice is framed in apology.
Zavala puts a hand on Banshee's shoulder, smiles, and gestures to the weapon. "Equipment that uses the wielder's Light is not unprecedented."
"It doesn't use it; it eats it. Thing's got an appetite. Works almost like, uh… a converter."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Nah. Guardian doesn't even seem to notice. I'll get you a write-up."
