Stage 1 — Animated Atlas
First up is the Animated Atlas — sharing the same design as the AF2 weapon.
It looks just like Urianger’s planisphere too! ♪
Black and gold — such a luxurious, elegant design.

Stage 2 — Atlas Awoken
The Atlas Awoken keeps the same shape as the previous stage, with glowing effects added.
The effect looks like floating sheet music — it’s so beautiful! ♪
A rather distinctive effect that’s shared across the whole Awoken series.

Stage 3 — Deneb
The Deneb marks a dramatic design change at this stage.
It’s got little water planet and star ornaments — kind of adorable, isn’t it? ♪
“Deneb” is the name of the brightest first-magnitude star in the constellation Cygnus, you know.

Stage 4 — Hyperconductive Deneb
The Hyperconductive Deneb keeps the previous design with glowing effects added.
It looks like shooting stars streaking through it — so, so beautiful!
It feels like being wrapped in a soft wind… there’s a warmth to it, somehow.

Stage 5 — Lastair Planisphere
The Sphere of the Last Heir brings another dramatic design shift.
It has a set of scales like the flag of Ul’dah — kind of cute! ♪
By the way — “Lastair” comes from words meaning something like “last heir” or “final inheritor.”

Stage 6 — Sharpened Sphere of the Last Heir
The Sharpened Sphere of the Last Heir keeps the same design with glowing effects added.
Oh wow, it’s a glowing gyroscope!
The effect is bright enough that it’s actually a bit hard to look at directly.
The details are recorded here!
▼
Stage 7 — Canopus
The Canopus is another dramatic design change — and this time, it glows right from the start.
Incredible — it’s like a supernova explosion!
“Canopus” is the name of an exceptionally luminous star with a mass around 8 times that of our Sun, after all.
The details are recorded here!
▼
Stage 8 (Final) — Canopus Lux
The Canopus Lux changes the color and effects from the previous stage.
It’s truly mystical — it feels like a whole little universe!
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an effect quite like this one before…!
The details are recorded here!

Video Record
The glowing effects have been captured on video — take a look!
And that’s a wrap on all 8 stages of the Astrologian Anima Weapon!
Out of every planisphere I’ve seen so far, this might just be my all-time favorite for its sense of mystery. ♪
Fufu — and Anima Weapons are so much easier to make these days; if you have the materials ready, you can finish the whole thing in a single day. That’s a nice bonus.
