==Overview==
The origin of the weapon began with an irregularity in [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]]'s [[Prismatic Recaster]], which mirrors the gravitational disturbances from the [[Cradle]] which attracted the attention of [[Savathûn's Hive]]. As the [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Witch Queen]] seeks to halt the Tower's progress, [[Eris Morn]] requests the [[Guardian]]'s aid in clearing a path to the [[Tree of Silver Wings]]. After completing a run through the Interference mission, Eris appeared at the Cradle, stating that she believes the Darkness offers a Gift in the form of a weapon. A newly-grown branch from the tree was removed, and through a series of steps was tempered and reshaped into the Ruinous Effigy.

The Heavy attack consumes all ammo and does devastating damage to the area around it, as well as suppressing anyone caught within the blast. 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.

Lore[edit]

Destiny-GhostConstruct.png
"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."
The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

"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."

Trivia[edit]

  • During the Quest to build the Ruinous Effigy, a transmission excerpt from Eris states that the Touch of Malice was used as a blueprint for the Ruinous Effigy. She comments that, while the Touch of Malice was "crude, vicious", the Ruinous Effigy "is a thing of beauty".
