Priest working with amazing type who is a bit of a legend (6)
I believe the answer is:
sprite
'priest working with amazing type who is a bit of a legend' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'priest working with' is the wordplay.
'working with' indicates an anagram (working with the letters).
'priest' with letters rearranged gives 'SPRITE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sprite that I've seen before include "water pixie" , "Brownie" , "Nimble elf-like creature - icon in computer game" , "sports car" , "Naiad" .)
