Prism Elementals

Prism elementals are born from the fusion of wild magic, the essence of the sun and the copious amounts of sand present in the Glass Wastes. These elementals have a variety of shapes. Ranging from hexapods to upright bipedal shapes. Some rarer, generally older elementals are capable of taking on a secondary elemental that also affects their physical shape. Wind gives them glass wings (without a membrane) and allows them to channel the air around them to fly. Fire aspect prism elementals often appear as if they caged a flame within their glassy chests and can breathe fire. Sand aspects have a dust devil aura. They subsist entirely on wild magical energies and do not necessarily need to consume substance. However, they can generally stay outside these nurturing lands for no longer than a day before they die of. 
Socially there appear to be two very distinct versions of the Prism Elementals. Which mimic the prey-predator relationship of common life. Prey elementals often stay in herds. They are more docile and will not attack unless provoked. Predatory elementals live alone or in small packs of no more than five. Predators will often hunt stray prey to consume their magical essence so they themselves can grow faster. These predatory prism elementals are shaped (“born”) at random. While the prey prism elementals take shape generally near herds.
These elementals regard all the lands and life beyond the Glass Wastes as alien and utterly inhospitable. Large herds of prism elementals are not driven to consume food but instead to alter the lands around them. Spreading the glass wastes through their auric presence. 
Prism elemental parts have a myriad of uses. What counts as skin for them is much easier to work with than regular glass and offers good insulation. It’s also pretty strong, making it the perfect material to wear when regular life would venture into the Wastes. Their eyes can be used as light sources that require no fuel. Secondary attuned elementals will hold a fraction of the aspect they attuned to in their glassy “flesh”. Making it a useful resource for any who practice magic.
