This has been a small piece of fabri-tech that’s been on my radar for a while but I haven’t felt like full committing to another large article on fabricate lately.

This isn’t technically force-shaping, but it’s closely related. I present prismatic wall shaping.

Prismatic Wall

“A shimmering, multicolored plane of light forms a vertical opaque wall – up to 90 feet long, 30 feet high, and 1 inch thick – centered on a point you can see within range. Alternatively, you can shape the wall into a sphere up to 30 feet in diameter centered on a point you choose within range.”

The premise of prismatic lasagna is taking prismatic wall and making it into an easily carriable section, and forcing it into many layers one ontop of the other, like a lasagna.

Prismatic wall is non-conc and lasts 10 minutes, so this doesn’t even need chronurgist to work. Create a brick of lasagna or however large you’re able to lug around. every inch could be 7 layers of prismatic wall, or more, depending on how you want to read prismatic wall and its properties, though we’ll go with 1 inch of space being 1 instance of prismatic wall here. With 1 ft thickness of a prismatic lasagna, we can force 12 instances of prismatic wall onto a single creature at once. This can be done by hitting them with the lasagna tray. This 1ft thick prismatic lasagna hits for 600d6, save for half.

Note, we can form the prismatic wall into a sphere ‘up to 30ft’ meaning we can make it 5ft or less and fabricate the entire surface of it in one go.

This doesn’t need to be a tray either, something more akin to a sword or a poki stick works just as well, as long as it’s long enough to have prismatic wall over it. a 5ft ‘lasagna’ layered properly can deal 3000d6 of multi-chromatic damage types. even discounting poison entirely, we still have 2400d6.

Obviously slapping someone with the lasanga tray of ultimate disipline and dealing 3000d6 + and sending 60 saves vs petrify + restrain + banish is good, and them just getting within 20 ft of the holder of the tray forces a save vs blindness, but there’s maybe even more we can do with this.

(If another creature that can see the wall moves to within 20 feet of it or starts its turn there, the creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become blinded for 1 minute.)

A checkerboard pattern on a greatsword. keeping in mind greatswords often were more than 5ft in length on the blade, could theoretically be used as a sword and deal prismatic wall level damage multiple times. even if it were only ‘in addition to the sword’ that we fabricated it around or onto, or just one instance of prismatic wall, it’d be very worthwhile. Even if we can’t convince the DM that we can make a perfect recreation around a sword and use it as a sword, we can be proficient with improvised weapons with one feat.

Another possibility, though maybe a very expensive one, is to make ammunition out of prismatic walls. An arrow tip is the most likely one to work, though, at this point this is entirely DM fiat.

Another even more devastating tactic is the prismatic lasagna cheese grater. Set the prismatic lasagna on the floor, grapple an enemy, and use 10ft of movement to move them through the prismatic lasagna, simply using back and fourth movement, a 50ft move nets us 15000d6 damage vs an enemy we grappled.

We can make multiple prismatic lasagna bricks and drop them on enemies all at once, or place them on the enemies square. the possibilities are as ridiculous as they are endless, and all lead to damage numbers so high it makes death 0 look like a sword and board fighter. But it does get worse, as we could potentially fit even more walls into a 5ft square. Create a 60 layered poki stick, and simply stack them in one square. this allows a single 5ft space to potentially house 60 x 60 layers of wall, each layer dealing 50d6. this leaves us with 150000d6 chromatic damage for each 10ft of our movement. a good GITM has 60ft move and 3 turns, or 180 move a round. using a dash on every turn, we deal 54000000d6, or 189,000,000 damage (save for half!). it’s also safe to say unless you’re complete immune to the secondary effects of the wall or auto-pass its DC, you’re going to be hit with those conditions too.

This so far has also ignored that prismatic wall within its text states it is made of light. Though, light is not an object itself until it’s been made into an object like prismatic wall, or, perhaps, we can use wall of light or even the dancing lights cantrip’s ‘vaguely humanoid form’ as our source of physical light for the fabrication. I think the best bet is the wall of light into a prismatic wall, though this requires chronurgists bead of fabricate or a friend with either fabricate or the wall of light spell, but this opens up death rainbow to level 9 parties.
