Alright! So I am going to weigh in on what I see of this system and my thoughts. From the looks of it the prisms are a catalyst.
Also note in one screenshot on the preview page, the dragoon is wearing armor that is repaired by armorers, and putting for glamour, an item that is repaired by leatherworkers. So the prism needed to do the glamour for that, has to be made by a leatherworker and rank 5 to work with the level 50 armor.
This means, no white mages running around looking like paladins, and no paladins running around looking like black mages. I can live with it. Overall, this system is way way better than World of Warcraft's transmogrification system.
That system, you could only mog leather to leather. And even then, you could only mog green or higher items. In this game, there is no such restrictions. You can glamour white, pink, green, blue, whatever color items, no limitations. And you can turn plate armor to look like leather or cloth.
As long as your current class/job can equip the item, it is glamourable. It also has a restriction of gear slots. So if your chest item prevents you from wearing a head piece, then you can only glamour something that does the same.
Overall, I love this system! I only wish there were moccasins wearable by casters still available. There was 1 moccasins item that was any class, the weathered moccasins, but there's no way to get them now sadly.
This game is not Tera, nor should it ever be Tera. If you love that system, great. But I for one am glad they are using a much more original system based off a system we already know, Melding. I've already got my adventuring outfit all picked out!
