Prism, Sculptor of Arc Light
The Library of Illumination's innermost sanctum contains a strange secret. Once, a Magister came across a young child, small and silent, her hair almost glowing in the lamplight, an orb shining softly in the palm of her hand. This unfamiliar child was unable to remember anything of her past, or her origins. Her only possession was the glowing sphere, which contained a single, pristine drop of rare arclight; a gift which would quickly reveal her talent for the Light.
Quick, curious and incredibly intelligent, Prism adapted to her new life with ease. She read as much as she could about Solana and the world beyond its walls, sailing through the vast ocean of knowledge within the grand library, with the Magister as her guide. Prism soon discovered the legends of the Heralds, Sol's golden emissaries, who watched over the people of Solana. Before long, her aether affinity and inquisitive nature led her to the Light of Sol, where she took up the mantle of an illusionist.
In developing her skills, Prism's talents were made clear for all to see. After years of careful study, she came to intimately understand the Heralds, lending more and more detail to her knowledge of these legendary beings. After capturing their very essence, Prism learned to give shape to their forms, conjuring their likenesses for the first time in living memory.
As shadows begin to darken the horizon, and the bells of war toll across the city, Prism invokes Solana's legendary beings, sending her creations to guard her beloved ones and smite her foes.
They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Prism, a student of the pen, stumbled upon a tale of heralds forgotten to time and dust among the millions of tomes within the Library of Illumination. Prism's curious spirit and affinity to arc light may prove timely as Solana fights for its survival.
What is real? If you can see it, is it real? What about if it whacks you in the face? "But when I tried to touch it, it disappeared?!" Sculpt fantastical arc light spectras that confuse, confound, and combat bewildered opponents.
The Light will be your guide and fill your soul. Use it to sculpt Spectral Shield auras to protect yourself and your beloved city of Solana.
Prism, Awakener of Sol
Prism rises on wings of wisdom to embrace the promised dawn.
Her origins are a mystery, even to herself. A child's dream filled with soaring architecture and figures of grace, of a radiant spectrum upon which she floated to a glowing door. She reached out, brushed that portal with her fingertips. As it opened, so did her eyes, and she beheld the Library of Illumination for the first time.
The hands that had touched that otherworldly door now held an orb of pure arclight, the very essence of Sol. When the Librarian found this little girl in the heart of the Great Library, when they saw the radiant array within her soul, they called her "Prism", for no other name would suffice. From that miracle moment, Prism became the Magister's protégé and the library's most beloved servant.
Prism's passion for knowledge and talent for story drove her to become the city's leading scholar. The shining bookworm trained in the arts of illumination and inspired the Solanian people with spectacles of history and their glorious Aesir, Sol. Yet only when the haunting questions of her past led her to the Tomes of the Heralds did Prism feel the true potency of her potential. Prism studied those books with the intensity of a savant and quickly learned how to incarnate the heralds in manifest arclight.
When Solana was struck by tragedy, when fiendish creatures materialized beneath a sunless sky, Prism took up the mantle of Illusionist in defense of her cherished civilization.
Gifted with the knowledge of mysterious 'figments' by Suraya, Prism awakens the true power of Sol, calling forth an army of mighty archangels. With these eight heavenly allies by her side, she will drive back the darkness once and for all.
Tales of the heralds have stayed with Prism since she was a young child. Seemingly forsaken by the passage of time, these stories of illumination are destined to be born again by Prism's hands. Unleash the power of the heralds upon your enemies, fueling your soul and unlocking the secrets within.
