ok, having been minimally prompted, i will now elaborate on my tags from this post, specifically that I think Raven's actual bodhi blastia isn't his heart, but the handle of his knife; first elaborating on why it's not his heart, then explaining why it is his knife, featuring Professor Sicily

There's no way Raven uses his heart as his everyday-use bodhi blastia, both for practical reasons and for the sake of plausible deniability.

The practical reason is that, as his heart is powered by his life force, using it for anything other than Not Dying takes a visible toll on him. The only arte he does use it for is his first mystic, Blast Heart, and doing that leaves him so winded that there's an entire secret mission dedicated to exploiting the opening it creates!

The other thing is, his heart being blastia-powered is a secret to everybody, so even if it weren't a health hazard to overuse, doing so would still raise questions! He's obviously not a Krityan, so he must have some other visible blastia he uses. Even Estelle has a decoy blastia bracelet, despite using her CotFM powers for her artes — and given how quick Yuri and Rita were to notice her blastia going unused, if Raven wasn't using his visible blastia for his artes, it would not have gone unmentioned.

Also Professor Sicily literally comments on it in the second part of his sidequest.

So if he's not using his heart, what's his real blastia? The exact same sidequest highlights it with a conspicuous glow, right before Raven learns the "Vacance" skill.

Given the placement of the glow (and how distant Raven is from the camera in this scene), it's either coming from his knife handle or his belt buckle. And while either one of those options would be a perfectly valid headcanon, I lean towards it being his knife.

Mostly because if his knife has a blastia embedded in its handle, that explains why his subweapons are all Just the Blades, with visible exposed tangs (the bit with the two dots/holes they all have where a handle should be; presumably they're secured in the handle with two pins).

In conclusion, Raven's actual bodhi blastia is probably this conspicuously elaborate tasselled knife handle! (Or his belt buckle, idk, I'm not here to die on that hill, but it's not his poor ailing heart!)
