A Prismatic Anomaly

Seeking an elevated vantage point beyond the desk, I scaled the lower shelves to investigate an ornate glass prism serving as a paperweight. When I approached, the sharp midday light pierced through the faceted crystal, fracturing across the polished oak into vivid spectral bands. I raised my arm to align the translucent ring in my hand directly with the cast beam. Rather than merely passing through, the refracted spectrum bent anew around the edges of my spell cast, scattering precise hexagonal patterns of violet and amber across the surrounding leather book spines. A deeply compelling study in geometric refraction.
