You will find yourself frequently visiting the Prismatic Recaster to turn in Twisted Energy, Altered Element, and plenty of other new pieces of currency during the Season of Arrivals in Destiny 2. You can find it to the left of The Drifter, in the lower areas of the Tower. On the right side of the Umbral Affinity choices, there’s an option for called Gifts of Light and Dark.
The Gifts of Light and Dark is another vendor section at the Prismatic Recaster. You can use it to purchase different ranks of various Umbral Gifts. There are three different ranks for each Umbral Gift. To unlock any of the gifts, you will need to consistently level up your Prismatic Recaster, and to do that, you need to complete the Weekly and Daily bounties at this station.
The more bounties you complete, the more Twisted Energy and Altered Element you can earn. Of the two options, Twisted Energy will directly level up the Prismatic Recaster, and you can earn that by completing the Weekly bounties. You will always find two weekly activities available at the station following the Tuesday Reset of Destiny 2.
