And free darkness on the spell list is a nice bonus for devil's sight warlocks.Infusion of Eloquence: More strong stuff. Works with Eldritch Blast. Bards may find themselves a bit lacking in the multitarget damage spells needed to leverage this ability.Word of Power: Another strong ability.All in all, another strong (OP?) subclass, which warlocks get the most mileage from. Maybe because warlocks are not supposed to get as much from their subclass as bards?5) WitherbloomTurn your warlock into a short rest healer. Has the potential to get annoying. Doesn't seem to offer much for druids. Might have been an okay choice for sorcerers, but they don't get this.Conclusion. I'm not convinced that shared subclasses works in 5e, with some classes getting more from their subclass, and others less. Balance-wise these subclasses are all over the place, with two very overpowered (Lorehold, Silverquill) and two very underpowered (Prismari, Quandrix). I would throw out this version of Prismari all together and replace it with a bard subclass that adds elemental damage spells to their list.</blockquote>
