Prismatic Warlock is the
Prismatic-based subclass of the
Warlock class. It is unlocked by completing the The Final Shape campaign on any difficulty as a Warlock, with initial access granted during the Transmigration mission. Additional abilities, Aspects, and Fragments are unlocked through campaign progression, post-campaign quests (Lost in the Light, Found in the Dark), The Pale Heart activities, and collecting Prismatic Chests in The Pale Heart.
Lore
The Warlock stands at the nexus of creation, hands outstretched to command the cosmos. Solar wisps dance at their fingertips, Arc lightning arcs through their veins, and Stasis crystals form at their will. Void tendrils coil in their shadow, and Strand binds reality to their intent.
They are the architect of chaos, the maestro of order. From their rift springs a legion—turrets of ice, Threadlings of fate, and mortars of flame. With a gesture, they freeze time, unravel existence, or ignite the heavens. In Transcendence, they wield the universe itself, a singularity of Light and Darkness that bends all to their will.
The battlefield trembles, and their enemies kneel before the Warlock's boundless magic.
