Warp Prism in Phasing Mode

For thousands of years the protoss have studied the nature of time and space. Through their painstaking studies and experiments protoss researchers have uncovered many of the secrets of the universe. Using psionic manufacturing processes, the protoss have learned how to create a robotic mind whose programming is built into the molecules of an advanced crystal lattice. This "crystal computer" is able to manipulate matter and energy with a precision no ordinary organic mind could comprehend.

The protoss use these "warp prisms" in several ways. The primary function of a warp prism is to transport protoss forces on the battlefield. Living and inorganic subjects are transformed into energy, and their unique signature imprinted into the prism's crystal lattice core. On reaching the desired destination the operation is reversed and the stored energy signatures are reconfigured into matter in proximity to the warp prism.

A secondary but no less vital function of the warp prism is to act as a mobile focus for the protoss psionic matrix. Once the prism is deployed it can power protoss structures around it. In this configuration warp prisms can be used to temporarily replace destroyed pylons in a colony or enable the rapid establishment of a forward base of operations.

Abilities

Phasing Mode (E) [edit]
Cast time 2
Used by Warp Prism
The Warp Prism goes into Phasing Mode, generating a psionic matrix like a Pylon but with a smaller radius. The Warp Prism can not move in this mode.
Transport Mode (T) [edit]
Cast time 2
Used by Warp Prism
The Warp Prism goes back to normal, removing the psionic matrix, but allowing it to move again
Transport (L to load, D to unload) [edit]
Used by Medivac, Warp Prism
Allows this unit to load and unload up to 8 slots worth of units.
