Prismatic Spray, Icewind Dale 1


Prismatic Spray IWD1


Prismatic Spray is an IWD arcane spell in Black Isle's cRPG of 2000, Icewind Dale 1. Prismatic Spray is a cone-shaped AoE that inflicts Blindness on <= 8 HD victims along with random effects that target different saving throws, such as 20, 40 and 80 HPs of damage as well as petrification, insta-kill poison or "insanity". Strong, but cone-shaped spells are unwieldy in their targeting.

  • This spell causes shimmering rays of light to flash from the wizard's hand, in a cone 70 feet long and 15 wide at its end.

  • Orange (40 hit points of damage, save vs. spell for half)
  • Yellow (80 hit points of damage, save vs. spell for half)
  • Green (save vs. poison or die - survivors still take 20 hit points of poison damage)
  • Blue (save vs. petrification or turn to stone)
  • Indigo (save vs. wand or go insane)
