Attuned Drift Prisms

Attuned Drift Prisms are eight single-use gems, one per element, each cut so that it "holds one element and no other." Pressed to a caster's orb in your pack, a prism dissolves and the orb takes on that element permanently - the alignment can never be undone, changed, or carried to another orb.

The pieces are a matched set in the same sense as a spell component: you carry whichever one element your build wants, not the whole eight.

How attunement works

A prism only answers to an orb - a wand or staff refuses it outright. An orb that is already aligned to an element (whether by nature or by an earlier prism) also refuses: the alignment is a one-way door, set once. Applying a prism asks for confirmation first, since the change is permanent.

An orb that started with no elemental strength of its own takes the new element at its plain baseline. An orb that already carried some elemental power keeps that strength and simply redirects it: the stronger the orb going in, the stronger the elemental boost that comes out attuned.

The pieces

Flame-Attuned Drift Prism

Aligns an orb to fire. "Press the prism to an orb and its light will settle into a steady flame."

Frost-Attuned Drift Prism

Aligns an orb to frost.

Acid-Attuned Drift Prism

Aligns an orb to acid.

Lightning-Attuned Drift Prism

Aligns an orb to lightning.

Blade-Attuned Drift Prism

Aligns an orb to slashing damage.

Force-Attuned Drift Prism

Aligns an orb to piercing damage.

Shock-Attuned Drift Prism

Aligns an orb to bludgeoning damage.

Void-Attuned Drift Prism

Aligns an orb to void damage. "The prism dissolves. The Orb hums with the empty dark."

Pairing with the Prismatic Drift Stone

An orb attuned by one of these prisms and then touched by a Prismatic Drift Stone gets a rending that matches its new alignment - a void-attuned orb comes out with a critical-strike edge, a fire-attuned orb with a fire rending, and so on. The two items are meant to be used in that order.
