Floyd's dark prism
Plural: Floyd's dark prisms
Hello, is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can read this.

The child is grown, the dream is gone, and all that's left is this dark prism. You'd think a black prism wouldn't be a prism, but you'd be wrong; it still shines, just like a crazy diamond. The colors are strange, limpid green instead of lime, but it will still summon your soul to endless sleep and drag you down.

No, wait. That's bad. It'll do that soul-thing to the bad guys.

The Wok of Stars

• Available for 10 silver stars during April of 2014.

Effects

At the beginning of combat, you will receive one of the following:

• Floyd's prism splits the darkness, bathing you in shadows the color of money. Wait, color? Just one? How do you tell the denominations of chips apart if they're all the same color?
• Floyd's prism splits the darkness, bathing you in the shadow left under clear blue sky. It's surprisingly depressing, but that blue sky really comes out, leaving everything around you lit up better than a flashlight.
• Floyd's prism splits the darkness, bathing you in a relaxing shade of black. You'll need some information first, just some basic facts once you've shown <foe> where it'll hurt.
• Floyd's prism splits the darkness, bathing you in darkness from beyond the stars. You can't see anything for a second, but your enemy takes X brain damage.
• Floyd's prism splits the darkness, bathing you in the exact shade of black left by an eclipse. You don't see dreams or anything, just find a nice corner to sit in where nobody can bother you. It's also pretty defensible.
• Floyd's prism splits the darkness, bathing you in the dark shade of marching hammers. You've gotten kind of used to it, but your opponent is pretty confused.

The following combo messages will be available after 9 PM:

• Light is changing to shadow and casting its shroud. Floyd's prism splits the darkness, leaving you in a eclipse's shadow under a clear blue sky. It shows you a defensible location and the location of your opponent's valuables.
• Light is changing to shadow and casting its shroud. Floyd's prism splits the darkness into the color of money and the shade of marching hammers. It's confusing and economical!
• Light is changing to shadow and casting its shroud. Floyd's prism splits the darkness, casting a shade that leaves you numb and distresses your opponent for X brain damage.
