You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot move causing arcane spell failure resulting in a ruined spell.

Notes

• Spell Resistance does not protect against any of these effects, including the non-damaging ones.
• This spell is random, but interesting. Death effects can be potent.
• Prismatic Ray was nerfed in Update 34 as the two death effects no longer ignore deathblock/death ward. Reception: DDO Forums ^{ARCHIVE ME!}
• The 12.5% chance of a second ray is a nod to the PnP version of the spell: You' roll a d8 to determine the ray; on an 8, two rays are produced instead.
• This spell seems to hit multiple enemies if they are all very close to the beam's original target when it strikes. It is unclear if this is a bug or a feature, but the spell's high natural damage (as it has been balanced as if it were a purely single-target spell) can make this a very efficient use of spell points.
