Random thought: Do the other Sins have their own versions of Asmodean Crystals?

I’ve been thinking about Barbie Wire a lot lately. So of course I can’t help but notice (and become absolutely obsessed with) the way her Asmodean Crystal differs from all the other ones we’ve seen so far.

Now granted, I may be overthinking things again and it’s just a matter of Barbie needing a different version of an Asmodean Crystal due to her being an imp that doesn’t have the magic needed to make a human disguise herself. Or it’s just a repurposed crystal that was stolen from one of Asmodeus’ workers and altered somehow.

But I REALLY like the idea that it’s actually an Asmodean Crystal knockoff made by another Sin.

Mammon in particular is already known for stealing the ideas of his fellow Sins for his own gain. Loo Loo Land being a cheap copy of Lucifer’s Lu Lu World being a prime example. I can easily believe Mammon would copy Asmodeus’ actually legal Asmodean Crystal with a “cheap” illegal version that unsavory businesses like Barbie’s would use to get to Earth when they usually couldn’t. And with Mammon holding a grudge against Asmodeus in particular over Fizzarolli quitting, he’d be more than willing to make knockoffs that could be blamed on Asmodeus since they’re Lust’s design and jurisdiction.

And that’s before even considering Leviathan!

Envy is notorious for generally being a sin portrayed as jealous of what others have and wanting it for themselves. Sometimes going so far as being portrayed as wanting to BECOME a different person altogether (think Fullmetal Alchemist). I can definitely see Leviathan as a sin of envy making knockoff Asmodean Crystals, but with her own spin on it to make it “better” somehow.

Or, maybe she’d even work with Mammon on making their own version. After all, Greed and Envy are pretty compatible sins, and that trial in Mastermind did reveal an interesting dynamic. I can definitely see them using each other for their own gains.
