''The crossbow was arranged with various materials of  different and clashing colors.  Its discordant appearance was reflected on its attacks.''

This ''+1 [[SRD:Light Crossbow|light crossbow]]'' automatically generates its own supply of mundane bolts, but can also be loaded with traditional bolts as well instead.  Its true power comes in the riding effect which appears when fired, wrapping the attack in prismatic energy.  Roll on the following table to determine what effect applies:

{| class="zebra d20" 
|-
!'''1d8''' !!'''Color of Bolt''' !! align="left" | '''Effect''' 
|-
|1 ||Red || align="left" | +1d6 fire damage
|-
|2 ||Orange || align="left" | +1d6 acid damage
|-
|3 ||Yellow || align="left" | +1d6 electric damage
|-
|4 ||Green || align="left" | Poison (1d6 [[Con]]; [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] negates, no secondary effect) 
|-
|5 ||Blue || align="left" | +1d6 cold damage
|-
|6 ||Indigo || align="left" | +1d6 mind-affecting damage
|-
|7 ||Violet || align="left" | +2d6 damage from disruption, subject to ''[[SRD:Time Hop|time hop]]'' for 1d4 rounds ([[Will]] negates time hop effect)
|-
|8 ||COLSPAN="2" align="left" | Two effects; roll twice more, ignoring any “8” results. 
|}

These effects stack with any enhancements on the crossbow or bolts itself.

The weapon can be used as a focus for any "prismatic" spells, increasing its caster level by +1.  Variants as a heavy crossbow or even short and longbows are known to exist.

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Magic Arms and Armor|Craft Magic Arms and Armor]], ''[[SRD:Prismatic Spray|prismatic spray]]''.<br/>
Cost to Create: 4835 gp, 360 EXP, 9 days.
