Prismatic Guard is a defensive enhancement spell.

It provides:

For each rank of Wizard Base spells known:

  • the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration.
  • the physical DS bonus is increased by +1 for every 4 ranks known over 905.
  • the bolt DS bonus is increased by +1 for every 4 ranks known over 905.

The mana cost also increases by +1 for every 12 Wizard Base ranks known over 905. (or 3 DS bonus over 5.)


It is selfcast only, so non-wizards must use a magic item or scroll to obtain its benefits.

It can be imbedded using Magical Item Creation.


The DS bonus is uncapped.

Total physical DS benefit = 5 + [(Wizard Base ranks-5) ÷ 4)] + (1 per seed 5 Elemental Lore, Earth ranks)
Total bolt DS benefit = 20 + [(Wizard Base ranks-5) ÷ 4)] + (1 per seed 5 Elemental Lore, Earth ranks)
