Also yes, they can be used as last ditch suicide bombs, though I think with them being so hard to destroy, they'd need to be primed in some way before going off. Maybe the process for an inquisitor to destroy their own catalyst can be a bit less arduous?

 Oh and I would say that Essa handing over her catalyst to Oren could be considered a big deal. Both for sentimental reasons, and also because she basically gave him an extremely powerful bomb that is now his to with as he pleases. Also, it means that Essa has been using her own ether pool to use magic, which is why she's a bit sleepy at the moment.
