Prisma

The Selection of the Prisma
The White is no selected per say. The life span of the White has always and will always be 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 years from the point of ascension, a multiple of the Divine 5. Upon the death of the Prisma the light is passed on to another, always a full spectrum Chromancer. Five days pass before the transfer happens. The Prismatic Gift has bloomed in every race and every corner of the Realms. The bodies of the Previous Prisma break down into light instantly after

One Prisma to the next appeared to have very little in common in terms of mannerisms, interests and religious views. However post ascension a Prisma has never produced offspring nor settled down. This is believed to a conscious decision made as their attachments are a danger to others and a risk not worth taking.

On the very rare occasion where a Prisma dies or is assassinated before a Divine year, the world falls into chaos. Without the balance in the light spectrum that the Prisma ensures Chromancy reverts to it's unbound and wild roots.

Alexi Spectra
Alexi Spectra was the first of the Prisma and the most powerful Chromancer this world has ever seen. He bound the colour spectrum and created the White Gift which would only pass to the worthy. The Five Gifts of Chromancy were a shadow the their unbound forms in terms of raw power but for the first time stable light crystals, or Licral was possible.

The White Gift

 * Specific light not required, the Prisma's eyes split the light internall to invoke.
 * White Licral, indestructible and priceless. Very few Prisma could create a stable Licral.
 * No limit or risk of over invoking as the light is processed perfectly by the Prisma.
