Species: Prismatic Crystalwing
Birthday: Thursday, May 18, 2023
Owner: rallis
Element: Neutral
The gems encrusted into the prismatic crystalwings' bodies glitter in the sun almost blindingly, a useful feat for mischievous hatchlings. They spend short amounts of time at the base of mountains right after storms have passed, searching for shiny objects and stones. When they need to rest, they return to their small nests, relying on their magic for survival. The hatchlings use their magic for almost everything. They heat the air around them for warmth, produce the water they need to quench their thirst and grow small flower buds to feed on. Later on, they produce small gemstones with the help of earth magic, which they eat. Even if they are too small to fly, the hatchlings make good use of their air magic to float around. They are incredibly skilled as hatchlings, needing little care from the adults to survive.
If not much is known about crystalwings, then the prismatic type is a complete mystery to most people. Magi who dedicated their lives to studying these beasts have more questions about the prismatic crystalwings than they have answers. While some creatures have powers over one or two elements at most, the prismatic crystalwings appear to control all of them. They can liquify tiny objects, rejuvenate a withering flower, heat up rocks, turn things their touch into stone, and even cause gusts of air. Moreover, they can produce magical light and a second image of themselves by moving extremely fast. All of this without effort. On the other hand, their magic is not impressive by any means compared to that of other creatures. They master no element more than the other, which makes them interesting and quaint at the same time. Their magic is hardly useful when they can use it only in small amounts. Even so, they are one of a kind, and many magi take an interest in them.
