Chromatic orb

Chromatic orb is a spell of the evocation school used by several sorcerers. When cast, chromatic orb shoots a dazzling, multicolored globe towards a creature of the sorcerer's choice within fifty feet, which upon impact bursts into a ray of whatever color was currently dominant. Though this often results in debilitating effects, chromatic orb always deals some degree of injury to its target, regardless of how well they defend themselves. Chromatic orb is among the most complicated spells learned by young or inexperienced sorcerers and as such, can only be cast once per day.

Similar, but not identical in effect, to the prismatic ray spell used by wizards, the exact effects of chromatic orb depend upon the color that results as dominant. Yellow light indicates a harsh and brilliant light that dazes the spell's victim. Red, as might be expected, signifies fire and similarly green results in the poisoning of the target. Turquoise light sends an electrifying charge through the flesh of its victim, causing them to move a number of feet dependent upon the caster's dexterity. Lastly, blue indicates a cold blast that freezes the target momentarily solid while violet indicates a psychic attack that renders the target less able to defend themselves against future attacks.
