While efforts by the [[Imperium]] to capture and study working examples of the Prism Cannon have been mostly unsuccessful, a basic understanding of its inner workings have has been achieved. A two-stage firing process sees a medium-magnitude laser from the primary charge chamber is fed through an acceleration chamber into a massive crystal prism, which traps and intensifies the shot within a fraction of a second. This energy is then focused through a secondary prismatic lens, with which with adjustment motors can produce a highly-focused energy beam capable of blasting through the thickest of armour or a dispersed beam for slaying entire squads of enemy infantry. Thanks to sophisticated targeting arrays within the Fire Prism, this weapon can also channel its energy into a second Prism Cannon, producing an energy blast powerful enough to obliterate even the toughest targets.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|4}}

Another area where the Prism Cannon excels at is range; with twice the reach of a [[Scatter Laser]] or [[Pulse Laser]], the Prism Cannon can hit targets that are just visible on the horizon. This makes the Prism Cannon equally dangerous as an anti-aircraft weapon, and allows Eldar assaults to open up with a punishing Prism Cannon barrage before the enemy is even aware of them.{{Fn|3}} ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Codex: Eldar (3rd Edition)]], Pg. 15*{{Endn|2}}: [[Codex: Eldar (4th Edition)]], Pg. 43*{{Endn|3}}: [[Epic Swordwind]], Pg. 22*{{Endn|4}}: [[Imperial Armour Volume Eleven - The Doom of Mymeara]], Pg. 175
