Description:	For ages, the Starlight Sphere spell was thought to be a myth, and so has not been taught in the Guild. There are rumors that the knowledge of this spell is in the hands of a group of G'nar Pethians that dwell in Therenborough. Seek them to ask of such things. The Starlight Sphere spell uses the energy of the stars to create a cold sphere of stellar magic that can be directed by the caster towards an enemy. The spell is considerably weaker when the sky is hidden by clouds, but can be cast indoors.
Example Messaging:	Cast: Several motes of light gather, briefly forming a minute version of the constellation of <constellation> before collapsing into a <adjective> <color> sphere. Attacking: The air takes on a sudden chill as a <adjective> <color> sphere flares and rushes at a <target>! A <target> stops suddenly, frozen in place by the flash of icy light, but only for a moment -- a flurry of activity follows as bones, flesh, and blood all snap, crackle, and rearrange themselves under the stress of the frigid starlight.
