Zirah -- chief diplomat

Archetypal Prisma Concept and Lore by Kitiara Primary: Goldenrod-Gold | Iridescent, Cherub Secondary: Goldenrod-Gold | Shimmer, Facet, Eye Spots, Current, Seraph, Stripes, Peregrine, Hex Tertiary: Ivory | Glimmer Breed: Imperials and Pearlcatchers Notes: Prismas are inspired by Melanie Rawn’s Sunrunners in the Dragon Prince Trilogy. If a dragon qualifies as an Archetypal Prisma and a Gilded Glory, it can choose one subspecies or the other, but it cannot be both.

Lore: All Prisma are ambassadors, advisors, and diplomats- mediating politics, delivering messages, keeping the peace. They will never participate in violence unless it is to preserve their own life. They are typically very honest, organized, and intelligent, and the leaders of the clans they serve often look to them for counsel. Prisma tend to be fairly private creatures who keep a small circle of friends, although they maintain good relations with with most and are well-liked by the majority of dragons they encounter.

Prisma fall into one of 3 types, and have inherent magics depending on the color of their wings.

Archetypal Prisma: Yellow range secondaries indicate the most prolific faction, though the range of their abilities is a bit narrower than their counterparts. These dragons are able to use wavelengths of sunlight to project their consciousness across great distances- provided the destination is also in sunlight. This kind of projection is used as a means of communication between Prisma, and occasionally between a Prisma and a non-Prisma (this requires the non-Prisma to have a natural sensitivity to Light magic), and is generally only attempted on clear weather days. Connected dragons are able to speak to one another as though they were standing next to each other, and Archetypal Prisma are also able to send images or memories across this connection. If the sunlight is dim or obscured when a Prisma is projected, the connection can become strenuous and painful, and is sometimes severed altogether, snapping the connected dragons back to their bodies in a most unpleasant manner. If the sun sets while a Prisma is projected, they may not be able to find their way back to their corporeal form and they become lost spirits. Archetypal Prisma can project themselves further than Pyro or Dusk Prisma, and can sense when they are being lied to when they are connected to another.
