Prismatic Shard, Storm card, and Channeling Orbs with Silent/Ironclad

[MechaTails]

I'm using Silent, got the Prismatic Shard to get cards from the other characters. I grabbed a Storm+ (Channel Lightning when you play a Power).

I played a Power, but I can't channel Lightning because I don't have Orb Slots. Is this intended? When we do the Daily Runs and the characters can use any color cards, we start with orb slots, can we please get at least 1 Orb Slot in this case too?

Its just my opinion but from my perspective the Daily Runs are 'what if' scenarios: what if Silent was an omniscient being that had the potential to do anything given experience? how far could you get with that?
Silent isnt ACTUALLY like that, they are just fun little challenges, and buying a Prismatic Shard shouldnt give you an orb slot the Silent does not have the default capability to use orbs. When i use a Prismatic Shard i am imagining Silent can use Sweeping Beam by channelling her energy THROUGH the Prismatic Shard. Each card is showing how she learns more ways to better harness the power of the Shard. Where does the left over energy from a Cold Snap go afterwards? The Defect has the capability to absorb the 'residual' energy and it continues to put in work but the Silent has a human(?) body there are no solar reflectors or whatever unless she learns how to use the Shard to inflict upon herself a transformation, but even then she needs to learn how to do that, having the Prism in your possession shouldnt magically give you an orb slot she needs to learn how to use the Shard in order to Capacitor a change in her body (turning her arm into an electric circuit or something, i dont know use your imagination).

TL,DR: Yes, that's an oversight, because why make a fun relic and then píss on the people that actually go out of their way to buy it?

The Prismatic Shard is the worst relic in the game in how it drowns out your themed cards designed to work with your character for loads of cards like Barrage or Rupture which will almost always be worthless. Just never buy it.

It's a bad relic, but it's fun. And sometimes it gives you Echo Form on Ironclad. Which is about as ridiculous as you'd expect.

Eeeeey, Prismatic Shard now gives a free Orb Slot. At least now there's a realistic potential for interesting plays involving Blue cards instead of absolutely nothing.
