Are Glamour Prisms Meta or Lore?

[Ginal]

I'm not sure I understand this, though. If glamour prisms and the things they can do exist in lore, then why would anybody ever actually want to look like they're wearing what they're really wearing? For example, why don't bandits use glamours to look like unarmored merchants and take everyone by surprise? Why don't soldiers use glamours to make they're armor and weapons look bigger, bulkier and more fearsome?

Because the lore is not everyone can make glamour prisms. So while they technically lore wise could use them, they don't have crafters who can make them, they aren't hanging out in main cities Market Ward's buying them.

Its a master book craft, the lore behind that is that "only certain people can use these" (high level crafters)

Good enough for me, thanks for the answer!
