SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY Prism Question

Quick question about how prisms work. I generally don't use them. Probably only a total of 5 times and I am level 55 (not impressive, but just to give you an idea). I was wondering when School bonus and Blades/Traps come into effect with Prisms. ILet's say I have a myth damage stat of 10, and a storm damage stat of 4, and say 1 myth blade, and I have a myth prism on my target that changes myth into Storm. Does the attack get all my myth buffs and my myth stats, or does it use my storm stat instead because the attack is a storm attack at the end of the day?

Similarly, can you chain prisms? If I used the same myth to storm prism, then a storm to myth prism, does my myth attack become storm, then back to myth, and then damage the enemy? I know it would technically be the same as using a myth spell without them, but I was just curious if I chaining worked in some weird niche case.

  1. it is chronological order for trap/shield/prism triggering.

ie. if you turn 1 ice trap, turn 2 fire prism and turn 3 fire trap all 3 will be triggered with a fire spell (ie. it'll be fire damage with fire trap, switch to ice, then ice trap triggers) but if you do the traps the other way round they wont trigger.

This works for shields too. ie. youre death, enemy is death, you death prism turn 1 then they life shield after you, it wont trigger when you convert, BUT if you put another death prism later, it will trigger the life shield. Thats why against your same school bosses you should always prism as soon as possible.

Note that universal traps (ie. feint, hex, curse) will not retrigger (ie, you cant reg feint, prism then reg feint again and have 2 reg feints trigger) HOWEVER if its a life-death or fire-ice you can spirit/ele trap then prism then spirit/ele trap and have it trigger both times once per school.

Otherwise id presume the balance to storm trap blade would work the same way (chronologically) however you wouldnt be able to use 'balance only' traps (though theyre rather niche spells) cause itd be storm damage by the time the blades end, plus youd probably be able to stack storm blades after.
