Gelatinous prisms attack by moving close to their target and [[engulfing]] them when the prism is within an adjacent tile. While engulfing a target, | Gelatinous prisms attack by moving close to their target and [[engulfing]] them when the prism is within an adjacent tile. While engulfing a target, a prism will inhabit the same tile as the creature it is engulfing, and will remain completely stationary.{{Code Reference||class=EngulfingSedentary}} Engulfed creatures will suffer {{Heart}}3-7 damage every round{{Code Reference|class=XRL.World.Parts.EngulfingDamage}}<ref name="Object"><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code></ref> and will be unable to move; attempting to move will instead cause the creature to perform a melee attack against the prism. Additionally, they will be unable to perform certain physical actions, such as [[Charge]], [[Juke]], and [[Jump]].{{Code Reference|class=XRL.World.Effects.Engulfed}} Creatures who are being engulfed by a gelatinous prism cannot be attacked by other creatures, and any attempting to do so will instead target the gelatinous prism. | ||
A gelatinous prism will continue to engulf its target until either it or its victim dies. However, the victim can escape being engulfed prematurely through means such as [[Teleportation]] or becoming [[phase|out-of-phase]]. | |||

When a gelatinous prism engulfs a creature, a timer is started that begins at 10<ref name="Object"/>and decrements by 1 every round. When the timer reaches 0, the prism will "refract" the creature it is engulfing, creating a perfect copy of them in a random adjacent tile. This will fail if the gelatinous prism is being affected by [[normality]]. The clone produced will be aligned with [[highly entropic beings]], will be colored {{qud text|&Ywhite}}, will be named "Refracted [creature name]", and will be hostile to the original creature.{{Code Reference|class=EngulfingClones}}{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Mutation|class=EvilTwin}} However, they will refrain from attempting to attack the creature until they are no longer engulfed. | When a gelatinous prism engulfs a creature, a timer is started that begins at 10<ref name="Object"/> and decrements by 1 every round.

After | After a prism has created a clone, its timer will reset and the cycle will repeat. There is technically no limit to how many clones a prism can create; however, it will not be able to produce any more if it is surrounded on all sides by walls or creatures (including existing clones). | ||
