SO! For Persona 3 peeps - and this will likely also refer to items that other characters might have to access their natural magic powers (transformation broaches for magical girls, I'd imagine) ...
An Evoker is not a weapon, in that it can't be used to attack someone else. It looks like a gun, but firing it at another person would do nothing, like it's a toy.
But it can be used to summon something that can be hostile and attack.
In the case of a Persona, Shinjiro would have Castor with him either way. It's a part of his soul - just like magic is kept by other characters with such powers. The Evoker is simply a means that summons it on demand, rather than Castor coming out to attack Shinjiro because they hate each other.
Likewise, a magical girl's broach might not be why they're a magical girl - just how they unlock their magic power that they already have.
What's your verdict? Would Shinjiro have this on him, coming into this world - or is it a weapon and would require a regain?
