Interesting the "no catalyst" thing - does that apply to krytonite too?

So it's a natural substance that effects just one class of supernatural beings (that we know of). That makes Mountain Ash and Wolfsbane non-magical too.

I've honestly never thought of it like that but I guess, in the TW universe it's just part of the natural world.

But what Stiles accomplished with making the handful of Ash dust last the extra space is the magical part?

Or is the simple act of making a circle out of the ash the magic part? What actually erects the invisible barrier? The circle of dust or a person making a circle of dust?
