PRISM Magical Girls

**Pre-production Lore!** This page is for the lore on magical girls and how their transformed outfits, weapons, and current limits on design and mechanics work. These are by no means set in stone so please don't take them as law. They are simply rules and can therefore be bent or molded or loop holed to fit your needs. Lore Galore!

Magical Girls are girls, gays, nonbinaries, or even boys who have volunteered to join PRISM Corps, and were picked by a Prism, to fight as soldiers of sorts in the battles against the Abscense (the main enemies).

## Genetics

As far as genetics go in the Magical Girl Transformation, there isn't much else said besides how the hair might work. Hair style and color is free to interpret, there are no limits on it really as it can be any color and doesn't count towards the main or accent colors used to determine the power of the Magical Girl. Hair is a freebie. Eye color is generally free to interpret as well, although some people change them to match either the main or accent colors. They might not count towards the main or accent colors, though that is unknown if it's true or not. However, in their transformed state, Magical Girls will have a pupil that matches the shape of their Prisms (Creatures) passive form. There isn't much said on tattoos, marks and scars, or makeup that come with the transformation, however it can be hypothesized that that is all free to interpret as well, although they might have to match the main or accent colors.

The Magical Girl Transformation cannot heal physical disabilities but it can mask them. For example, a Magical Girl with hearing aids or glasses may be not have them in her transformation despite them still being there. Although, they may also, just be decorated or made into cuter accessories. Also, a Girl with a missing limb may get a prosthetic within her transformation.

## Outfits

Outfits are canonically made of light to appear as more cutesy or otherwise appearing. This is to hide their actual armor and give the enemy a false sense of weakness in their opponents. Themes of outfits don't have to match the theme of the weapon, however as far as outfits go, they can be designed in just about any way. However, since the outfit is from the Prism Creature and is based on its particular taste, the Magical Girl may have little say in what the outfit actually looks like. Though, it can be justified that if the character has a good relationship with their Prism, then the Prism may take their opinions into consideration.

All Magical Girls have differing levels of power and rules of magic they can use, which can be determined based on their color(s). Since the outfits are made of projections of light, depending on the amount of main and accent colors, you can tell if the Magical Girl is weaker or stronger. The more frequently the accent color appears on the outfit is another indicator of how strong their magic is. The saturation or vibrancy of the colors determines the base power level of a Magical girl, as the more magic and consistency they transform, drains their color like a battery almost.

Most have just one main color and one accent color, although having more main or accent colors is possible, just rare, such as the cases of Neneko Aino and Katsumi Katayami. However, a Magical Girl having no hues are possible and are considered the weakest, and are dubbed “colorless”. They can have varying amounts of black or white, which are free colors and don't count as mains or accents, since most other Magical Girls have them. Different shades or slightly different hues of a given color don't count as a separate color, for the sake of a design being harmonious but not monotonous.

It is not yet known if Magical Girls can get 'better' such as gaining an accent color or more saturation of their outfit as they bond with their Prism or grow in their power. So, that is a free for all aspect.

## Weapons

Weapons are also canonically made of solid light. Themes of weapons don't have to match the theme of the outfit, however as far as weapons go, they can also be designed in just about any way. There seems to a split between mostly physical weapons and mostly magical weapons. However despite the split, all weapons use solid light for magical effects or attacks, however it is up to the character's imagination on how they use it and what kinds of effects it does as long as they have enough magic available. Some may even be able to duplicate or multiply their own weapons if they have enough magic to do so.

As far as abilities of mostly physical weapons go, they have their logical mundane uses such as with shields, bows, or swords being sharp and able to block. However, they may have magical uses as well such as a paintbrush being able to use its 'paint glob' as a whip or a shield able to create a larger bubble shield, or a gauntlet being able to be made bigger to hit harder. Though, these aren't the only possibilities as the limits are based off the imagination of the magical girl. The weapons can be manipulated in many ways. Although, even if an attack looks elemental it is not, as the attacks are made of solid light as well.

As far as magical abilities of weapons go, they tend to use more magical effects than straight attacks. However, they can be used for mundane attacks such as bonking. However, the limits on magical abilities are not yet specifically known, but based off the fact that how a weapon works may come mostly from the character's imagination, it can be assumed that millions of effects or magical attacks may be utilized. For example, a puppet that functions like a wand and can trap an enemy in a body suit, or a telescope that can empower or depower an enemies own magic. The possibilities seem endless in this regard. Armor seems to be able to also lend something to the magical aspect of weapons such as in Awo Kubota's case with her being able to pull constellations from her armor to form different weapons.

## Prism Creature

The rules on Prisms as well as a template can be best found in the Prisms (Creatures) page. However, the dormant state of a Prism is never on the Magical Girl's outfit or weapon, the shape reflects something that is on their outfit or weapon, like a flower or fangs, but it is never actually apart of it.

## Magical Girl Groups

Most Magical Girls don't have teams, they're sometimes assigned to work together or may choose to work together. Magical Girl groups that are 'destined' to work together are rare and as such most Magical Girl Groups are simply other Magical Girls who decided to work together. This could be because of a common trait or over arching theme, or simply because they were already friends. Groups that have been 'destined' to work together are usually because of their Prism's ultimate power such as in Katsumi Katayami's case.

## Headcanons

* True Gray is considered a free color because it is just a mix of black and white.
* Prisms can only understand humans as much as a pet can, though they can communicate telepathically with their Magical Girl (or in Eimi’s case, Magical Enby) when in active form.
