Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sepulchrave II" data-source="post: 3190098" data-attributes="member: 4303">I've been considering a [lucence] seed which embraces daylight, sunbeam, sunburst, scintillating pattern and a variety of prismatic effects - I'm tempted to mine the SC to incorporate effects from prismatic spells from there, too.These spells can be linked thematically, but its hard to link them mechanically because of the duration gap (instantaneous vs. non-instantaneous effects), and the divergent area potential (a 10th-level daylight could be enormous, a 10th-level prismatic sphere, less so).I'm wondering if, instead of a dedicated seed, they can be 'tacked on' to exisiting [blast] and [field] seeds via an epic feat: i.e. [blast] would have an exoteric aspect (for fire, force, typeless damage etc.) and an esoteric lucence aspect (for various prismatic effects, or sunburst) which would be revealed by the feat. These esoteric aspects would be detailed outside of the main body of text for [blast]. [Blast] could have other esoteric aspects as well, accessible through different feats.Which brings up another question: how do you want to deal with prismatic sphere? Should we treat it as a shell (with a 'skin'), or as an area suffused with the effects of the spell? I incline toward the second, but I'm wary of its offensive potential (if you invoke a a 200-ft. radius prismatic sphere, that's a lot of multiple saves).</blockquote>
