Prism

[advent class]


Rules governing Advent classes

Bending light comes as naturally for a Prism as it does for their namesake. They are intricately familiar with the connection between the lotus chakra in the subtle body and the six chakras of the physical body. When one can bend the light within one's own body, it is a natural progression to bend the light outside the body

Martialists and Path of Peace Pyromancers make excellent Prisms, as they have a headstart when learning how to unify the light within and without the body. Martialists are also already experts at manipulating their own ki, and some view Prism as the maritialist's adept class. Dreakwalkers and Neamhni are closely connected cross disciplines, and it has even been said that those that master both Prism and Neamhni are able to control the violent reaction when the two abilities mix

Between the requirement for self-control, the resulting introspection, and the enhanced vision Prisms have, their personalities are often confident, clear-eyed, and decisive. They are often very optimistic or pessimistic and can even oscillate between the two, but are rarely anything in between. Their emotions flow freely and evenly, without reserve or concern for vulnerability
