Prismatic Damage

Prismatic damage is a special case of elemental damage added to a weapon. An item (typically a weapon) will do prismatic elemental damage if it has an enchantment to add damage of all five elemental types. 'Chromatic' is sometimes used as well; a 10 December 2007 trivial update gave the grouping as 'prismatic', hence its use here.

The update in question verified that prismatic items should pulverize into elemental things like wads, nuggets, and powder. Being of all elements, any is possible.

This designation does not extend to items that provide protection against all elements, only damage.

Currently, only four items qualify as prismatic:

• yohohoyo (+1 each)
• obsidian dagger (+3)
• immense cyborg hand (+3)
• 17-ball (+10)

The 17-ball is ultra rare and will not smash into anything other than an ultimate wad, of course.
