Prismatic Wall Spell in Greyhawk | World Anvil

Prismatic Wall

This spell enables the wizard to conjure up a vertical, opaque wall—a shimmering, multi-colored plane of light that gives him protection from all forms of attack. This scintillating wall flashes all colors of visible spectrum. Seven of the colors have distinct powers and purposes. Any creature with fewer than 8 Hit Dice that is within 20 feet of the wall and that does not shield its vision is blinded for 2d4 rounds by the colors of the wall. The wall is immobile. The spellcaster can pass through the wall without harm, however, Each color in the wall has a special effect. Each color can also be negated by a specific magical effect, but the colors must be negated in the precise order of the spectrum. The colors and effects (on a being trying to attack the caster) of the prismatic wall spell. as well as what will negate each color, are as follows: [/tr
