The Prism

**The Prism** was a human-made mystical artifact that was fashioned into a glove. With it, the wearer was capable of siphoning the powers of magical beings directly into the device, granting the wearer the powers that were siphoned. The Prism isn't indestructible and can be overloaded causing it to be destroyed. The Prism was created by the Faction and used by Vivienne Laurent, who with it became the Conqueror.

## Throughout the Series

In "*Search Party*", Ivan flew to Seattle to meet with Vivienne Laurent, who wished to cooperate with Ivan's company in order to further their project of creating resurrected monsters. He arrived during the charity gala at Shea Group and demanded that Vivienne show him the results immediately. She then brought him down to the basement level, but Macy Vaughn, Maggie Vera and Jordan Chase accidentally started the power transferal process—killing a banshee and a Kadal Demon—and ruined the project during their mission to rescue Harry Greenwood before she has the chance to show Ivan anything. Later, a male member of the Faction informed Vivienne that the transfer was only partially complete and that they had a creature on lockdown. Upon noticing a sparkling, magical glow from the transferal device, Vivienne told him to put it along with the rest of them on ice and that she didn't think they would need them anymore.

In "*An Inconvenient Truth*", Vivienne received a mysterious briefcase, where she informed Nadia that the magic will soon belong to them.

In "*Someone's Going to Die*", it is revealed that the object in the briefcase is a device called "The Prism" which was used to absorb the powers of the magical beings that the Faction captured. According to Vivienne, she and her nephew, Julian Shea, had designed it as an acquisition and retainment device for magical powers, regardless of origin. Vivienne later displayed the use of the power of a Basilisk to threaten Ivan to continue to fund the Faction, despite Julian (magically disguised as Nadia) stating that the device wasn't ready for human use.

Julian later tried to steal the Prism from the Faction's base, but Vivienne had already taken it from its briefcase. Suspicious of 'Nadia', Vivienne asked them where she stayed with Nadia during a conference. While Julian was able to answer with his knowledge on his aunt's routines, Vivienne saw through the ruse as Nadia had never been with her at that specific conference. Julian then outed himself, and tried to shut down the entire project. Vivienne, however, used the Prism to petrify her nephew, killing him shortly after.

Macy and Harry both infiltrated the Faction base, but were also unable to stop Vivienne, who used the powers in the Prism to evade them and delve into Macy's mind to find the location of the Command Center and how to get into its underchamber. She then used the Prism to escape the power site and blast her way into the Command Center and make her way to the upside-down tree and black amber. After Vivienne supercharged herself using the powers of the black amber pool, she went to go fight the Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones where she was vanquished with an overload of the Power of Three, destroying the device in the process.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Siphoning:** The ability to absorb magical powers. The Prism was initially used as a transferal device, absorbing the magic of the various beings that the Faction killed in their experiments. Once worked into a glove, the Prism was able to acquire any magical powers that were used upon the wielder, absorbing the powers into the glove.
	+ **Power Granting:** The ability to bestow magical powers upon another being. The Prism was able to grant any of the absorbed magical powers to the wearer of the glove. Once Vivienne Laurent wielded the glove, she displayed the following magical powers:
		- **Energy Blast Generation:** The ability to produce blasts of energy. Vivienne used this power to break into the Command Center.
		- **Mind Melding:** The ability to enter and scan through the mind of other beings. Vivienne used this power to invade Macy's mind, learning how to get into the Command Center and where the black amber was located.
		- **Petrification:** The ability to turn other beings to stone. It was said that this power was stolen from a basilisk. Vivienne used it to petrify Ivan during a meeting in order to scare him into obliging and later used it to kill Julian Shea whom had turned against her.
