Lafiel Why would it replace the prism? The splitter wouldn't be as powerful as a normal ion beam, as everything that is put into it would be split. Not to mention all the code in the ion beams that show that their power degrades . So while useful for short spaces, it does less damage than other beams. Math time so u get what I mean.
Splitter recieves power source.
Power source divided by 2. Power Degrades by length and strength of laser (I think).
Split power is put into prism with ion beam powering it.
add .5.
I think that is how it would work.
