Crystal Prism

**Crystal Prism** (his entry here) is a young resident of the Grittish Isles, and is an Alicorn demigod who was transformed thanks to Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker's experiments.

## Appearance

As Page Wheel, Crystal Prism is a unicorn colt with a pale blue pelt, a small white horn, a dirty blond mane and tail, brown hooves, red eyes, and a dark gray pageboy hat on his head. His Cutie Mark is a Morpho butterfly, as he often took butterflies home for study when not delivering newspapers. He has white spots all over his body.

After he was experimented on by Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker, as well as the unicorn trio Decepticolt, Zappityhoof, and Goldencap, Crystal Prism transformed into a monster that had the ability to devour magic even in sapient creatures like Ponies. Luminiferous described Crystal Prism's appearance at the time as "a dangerous, blue, blob-looking monster thingy".

Post-Ascension, Crystal Prism is a slender Alicorn demigod with a black pelt, light blue hooves, and a radiant gold mane and tail. He has bright white spots on his legs, underbelly, muzzle, and wings, which carried over from his "past" life as Page Wheel. Unlike a typical Alicorn, he has a large pair of hybrid pegasus-butterfly wings, and even his tail feathers have a butterfly wing sticking out. Crystal Prism's appearance has caused some people to assume he's actually a Changeling, which he and others are quick to shoot down.

## Relationships

### Scarlet Bell

Crystal Prism is a neighbor of Scarlet Bell, and his parents are friends of hers, making him a friend as well.

### Rhiannon

Crystal Prism has become a subject of interest for Rhiannon, the Deer goddess of the Moon, Enchantment, Femininity, and Song, following the formation of the Coltic Pantheon. Crystal Prism reminds Rhiannon of her older twin brother, Cernunnos, because both of them changed after dying. Rhiannon sees Crystal Prism as a potential member of the Coltic Pantheon, and because he is a demigod, she is looking to help him grow into his inner potential so he could Ascend to true godhood one day.

### Emperor Golden Scepter

Golden Scepter supported Crystal Prism, and was responsible for influencing him to take up heroics. When Crystal Prism bitterly resigns himself to being the "symbol" of a golden age for Ponykind as he was intended to be, Golden Scepter proceeds to point out hat "nothing is truly set in stone", and informs Crystal Prism that as the Alicorn demigod of Rebirth and Change, he has more freedom than ever to choose what he wants to do with his life and newly-acquired divinity.

### Alicorn Ascendancy

It is unknown what Crystal Prism thinks about the Alicorn Ascendancy, but he is a great subject of interest for the nefarious organization. The Alicorn Ascendancy sees Crystal Prism as one of their greatest successes, and its members have focused on retrieving him for study so they can learn how he succeeded where countless others failed. Given their unfettered, cruel, and amoral methods and behavior, the members of the Alicorn Ascendancy do not care for Crystal Prism's identity or the suffering and trauma he went through, and they only refer to him as "the success".

## Skills

### Alicorn Magic

As an Alicorn demigod, Crystal Prism automatically has the combined magics of all Pony tribes, which includes the arcane telekinesis he had as a unicorn. But due to his age and his very early Ascension, he's only barely realizing this.

### Light Magic

After Ascending to demi-godhood, Crystal Prism developed a talent for light magic. He can create butterflies of light to guide himself and others through dark places, fire beams of searing light, create barriers and illusions, and blind and/or stun enemies with flashbangs. He can also make a place look brighter than it really is. If he has to fight in close quarters, Crystal Prism can channel his light through his body, giving himself a bright, shimmering appearance that intimidates his enemies into lowering their guard. However, some of his abilities might require a heavily environment, especially his light-based illusions.

### Butterfly Manipulation

Crystal Prism has telepathic abilities that allow him to control butterflies. For reconnaissance, he can use butterflies as his eyes and ears, and has been known to psychically communicate with others through butterflies whenever he's unavailable. He can also summon huge, thick swarms of butterflies to distract enemies, or to transport the wounded. Because of his psychic connection with butterflies, he can sense when a butterfly is killed, a sign that something is wrong.

### Shapeshifting

As the Alicorn demigod of Transformation and Change, Crystal Prism can turn himself into a swarm of butterflies and back as an alternate evasion method if using his own wings isn't an option

### Cocoon-Healing

As the Alicorn demigod of Rebirth, Crystal Prism can heal injuries and eliminate most curses by encasing afflicted people inside a magical, hard-shelled cocoon. Once the person(s) is completely healed, the cocoon breaks and reveals them to be good as new. He can also do it to himself if need be. However, the time spent inside depends on the severity of a person's condition, rendering them extremely vulnerable if not sufficiently protected. If Crystal Prism is killed in battle, his inner magic reacts by encasing his body in a cocoon and incubates it for possibly several days until he comes back, effectively making him a sitting duck during this period.

This ability came into play when Crystal Prism used it to heal his sick mother of her debilitating illness. Ink Wheel, who had been praying for a miracle, was overjoyed when this happened, and spent much of her time bragging to her neighbors about how she became the mother of an Alicorn demigod, much to Crystal Prism's embarrassment.

### Empathic Precognition

After Ascending, Crystal Prism has developed an extremely rare type of empathy that allows him to have prophetic dreams whenever he thinks strongly of someone before going to sleep. This allows him to glean information about specific people, how they feel, and what they're about to do. However, his sentiments must be strong enough for the ability to work. Arguably, this ability was what provoked his name-change - much like how a glass prism turns light into rainbows, his emotional foresight predicts the potential of people.

This ability proved useful in the defeat of the evil digital abomination, "CreepEntity513", which had been terrorizing young gamers since the Second Age. After befriending Button Mash from Ponyville, Crystal Prism had a terrifying vision of Button Mash being sucked into a pixelated video-game dimension by "CreepEntity513", which caused him to warn his mentor, Luminiferous. Having been forewarned, Luminiferous gave Button Mash a magical trinket that would offer him protection and "grant him his greatest strength" when he needed it. This allowed Button Mash to defeat and kill "CreepEntity513" once inside its dimension, as his magical trinket allowed him to temporarily Ascend to Alicornhood once it resonated with Button Mash's desire to protect his friends and loved ones, giving him the power-up he needed to save the day.
