Thats pretty cool. I could see that working well.

And I am. I already have a couple gems with affinities and am working on some gems that get gemetically alterred to become different and have the compulsive desire to fight crime. I felt that would work as a good fanon.

Actually, I set it up in a bit of a peculiar way. I set up indigo as blue, and blue was basically cyan, same as how Newton used to define the colors. Thats why blue was warp: the warp pads are cyan. As for white, that is used as the source of all the other sub lights, and the default for gems. While the gems could tap into white light alone or have an affinity, it would not help them without using spectral magic. As for magenta, magenta is really just sorta encompassed by violet.

I have actually been toying with the concept of invisible lights, like UV, infrared, xray, high energy, radio, microwave. But those seemed really complex. So I had infrared be like an extra advancement on red, with unique effects, but only for red affinities who can tap into infrared, or infrared affinities. Same with UV and violet. Radio would likely be the one I would put as the unique, inaccessible, yet powerul light. However, that would be like a synthetic light.

As for the backstory, a prism spontaneously formed, and met another nre gem. They accidentally fused, but since prisms form forms without gem connections, when they got shatterred, they only split spectrally. Then a diamond saw this power and searched for it, but this made the lights scatter. But it was too laye, as the diamond had made a replica prism, and thus syntehtic prisms were made. But those lights still made themselves known from a distance, wary of the diamond but knowing that they could still interact via the gems with affinities.
