Prisms (Creatures)

**Help us Yu!**

Prisms are small, genderless beings of solid light, who have a preferred dormant state and a preferred active state. When transformed, they shift into other shapes made out of that solid light, such as the magical soldiers “armor” and weapons.

## Relationship with humans

Prisms are confirmed to be alien to our setting, and all known Prisms on earth are either kept by a magical girl, or locked away inside the PRISM Corps building. Due to this, they can’t communicate well naturally, the sounds they make being more akin to that of soft clinking glass or wind chimes. If they are well-socialised enough, they can learn to speak, but only a few words similar to a bird. Although, June has said that Prisms can speak telepathically in an understandable language to their chosen partners.

Prisms are very particular about choosing their hosts, they cannot and will not partner up with anyone they don’t deem fit. Strangely, this isn’t always because of an affection towards the host though. For example, Azumi’s Prism actively does not like her, but chose her regardless. For this reason, it can be speculated that there may be some sort of spiritual reason that ties a Prism and their host together, but it is another example of how alien Prisms are to us.

Additionally, all Prisms accept the name that the host gives them, seemingly regardless of what they prefer.

## Appearance

Prisms are small, alien creatures made out of solid light. They have a preferred dormant state and a preferred active state, as well a armour and weapon state when their magical girl transforms.

All Prisms have differing levels of power, and this power can be determined based on their colour(s). Depending on the amount of colours and saturation a Prism has, you can tell if a Prism is weaker or stronger. Most Prisms have a main colour and an accent colour, which can be observed best when a Prism is in it’s transformed state. A Prism having more than one of each is extremely rare, with the only confirmed cases of it occurring are Neneko Aino and Katsumi Katayami.

Prisms with no hues are the weakest, and are dubbed “colourless Prisms”. They can have varying amounts of black or white, which are not to be confused with a mains or accents, since all other Prisms have them and it can essentially be considered a free colour.

### Active state

A Prism when in its active state resembles a small, crystalline creature made of light. All Prisms have the same body type when in their active state, but have different headpieces and tails that usually relate to their theme or dormant form’s shape. While they are mostly white, the colour of their dormant form will be marked on their head, as well as glowing in an aura around their body.

### Dormant state

When in their dormant state, a Prism becomes a small gem that is usually worn by the Magical Girl. The shape of the gem almost always relates to the Magical Girl’s theme in some way, and the hue will be determined by the Magical Girl’s main colour(s).

### Transformed state

When a Magical Girl transforms, Prisms shift into their armour and weapons. For this same reason, a magical girl has no control over what her outfit or weapon theme is, its entirely based on the Prism's taste. You don’t like your scythe? Too bad. Your Prism does! They also won’t take the form of anything they don’t personally want to take the form of, regardless of if their host asks it.

Throughout battle, the Prism’s energy slowly wains, which is reflected though the saturation of the outfit’s colours. The more drained a Prism is, the more the colours will slowly dull, until they eventually become colourless. When this happens, it means the Prism’s power is officially used up for the day, and they will turn back to their dormant form until their energy is recharged.
