Conjure Elemental Consider customizing how your spells look when you can cast them. You might wield your Prismari spells with dynamic
gestural movement-as much dance as somatic component. Even a blast of fire in your hands is a sculpted work of art; elemental forces make grand designs as you hurl spells. These forces might linger on your body or in your clothes as decorative elements after your spells are dissipated
as sparks dance in your hair
your touch leaves tracings of frost on whatever you touch. Building a Prismari Character Any class or subclass that wields elemental forces of cold
fire
lightning
and wind can be a good fit in Prismari. Druids
Sorcerers are common in Prismari
and Wizards who study the Schools of Evocation or Transmutation are also well represented. Clerics aren't very common in this school
but some with the Tempest Domain end up here. Beyond the ranks of traditional spellcasters
Prismari students also include Monks who follow the Way of the Four Elements . Some acrobatic Rogues
Fighters (including those who emulate the archetype of the Eldritch Knight ) also delight in the athleticism of Prismari performance. Suggested Characteristics. Though the curriculum of Prismari College attracts many outgoing
driven artists
the school has no shortage of shy scholars
lackadaisical blowhards among its ranks. The Prismari Personality Traits table suggests a variety of traits you might adopt for your character. Prismari Personality Traits d6 Personality Trait 1 I'm the life of the party
and I expect everyone's attention when I walk into a room. 2 Two weeks ago
I was enthralled with my latest project. Now
I think it's garbage
deserves to be destroyed. 3 I believe everyone has the ability to express their truest selves through art
and I'm happy to quietly push them in the right direction. 4 Everyone is a critic
and I work to win them all over. 5 I'm beset with such an overwhelming sense of ennui regarding my art. Nothing quite captures my attention anymore. 6 Instead of confronting my negative emotions
I channel them into explosive artistic displays. Prismari Trinkets. When you make your character
you may roll once on the Prismari Trinkets table
instead of on the Trinkets table in the Player's Handbook
for your starting trinket. Prismari Trinkets d6 Trinket 1 A pair of rose-tinted glasses with glittery frames 2 A stoppered glass bottle that
when opened
plays a brassy orchestral piece 3 A quartet of hovering water motes in a vial 4 A bandolier of watercolor paints 5 A tiara capped with a crystal that crackles with harmless lightning 6 An iridescent quill
