A prismatic dragon's natural weapons are treated as magic (wyrmling - juvenile) or epic (young adult - great wyrm) for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Combat

Breath Weapon (Su): A prismatic dragon has one type of breath weapon, a prismatic spray effect. The breath weapon's cone is of the size indicated by the dragon's size, not the normal cone for the spell.

Deflecting Force (Su): A prismatic dragon is protected by a shield of shimmering light similar to a cloak of chaos that provides a deflection bonus to its AC. The deflection bonus is equal to the dragon's Charisma bonus.

Immune to Light and Blindness (Ex): Prismatic dragons cannot be harmed by any light, including Evocation [Light] spells, searing light, and the various prismatic (sphere, spray, wall) spells. In addition, they are immune to any spell or effect that causes blindness.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will-hypnotic pattern, rainbow pattern; 3/day-prismatic sphere, prismatic wall, sunbeam, sunburst. The DC is Charisma-based.
