Bright points with luminous tails arise out of your starlight aura, flung in descending arcs.

Roundtime: 3 sec.

Snow and light burnish the white descent of a crystal pebble, which partially connects with a sleazy lout's back in a forceful strike.
Gasping out in terror, a sleazy lout crumples to the ground. Eyes closing, the once rebellious flame dies out completely.
Snow and light burnish the white descent of a crystal pebble, which partially connects with a sleazy lout's left leg in a forceful strike.
The sleazy lout is lightly stunned!

The contrail of a vaporous aggregate with a vivid white heart etches a line across the air. The crystal pebble hits a sleazy lout's chest at an angle and breaks down.
The sleazy lout is lightly stunned!
A crystal pebble falls as a hammer wreathed in streamers of vapor, crashing upon a sleazy lout's chest and clapping it into oblivion! The impact throws its body aside like a toy lout.
Gasping out in terror, a sleazy lout crumples to the ground. Eyes closing, the once rebellious flame dies out completely

Starlight Aura

2018-01-14T01:38:56Z

DARKNSBREATHING:

Three things to note about the aura.

1) Its capacity is directly related to your Lunar Magic and scales pretty high. The floor of the system is at 20 ranks of Lunar Magic (below that you're just given the value of 20 ranks as a courtesy). Your aura will have double its original capacity by 40 ranks, and it will continue to grow until you hit 1000 ranks.

2) Its regen is directly related to your Wisdom and each and every point in Wisdom contributes to the size of your regen pulse. It will double from its default (assuming a 0-mod race) at around 40 Wisdom and continue to grow in perpetuity (though there's a practical limit to how much you'll want to invest into Wisdom).

3) Most aura costs are related to the mana you're putting into the spell. It costs more aura to power a 4-mana spell than a 2-mana spell.

So, when you're drawing on your aura in the early stages of your magic you want to be careful about how much mana you put in. Bearing in mind that early in a Trader's life (and for every Trader during this preview) they have free access to Analogous Patterns spells that cover every skill except Utility, which can be covered by Noumena at 2nd circle.

As your skills and stats increase, the aura's limits loosen up considerably and casting more powerfully and repeatedly under adverse conditions will become possible. By the time you lose access to the AP spells you should have enough Lunar Magic to notice a substantial improvement over Noobler's First Aura.

Levels:
#The smallest hint of starlight flickers within your aura.
#A bare flicker of starlight plays within your aura.

Item:Tiny translucent blue caterpillar

2014-06-29T09:47:27Z

DARKNSBREATHING:

{{Item
|noun=caterpillar
|look=Appearing as though carved from a clear, sky-blue sapphire, this tiny creature is no more than three inches long. Dozens of faceted spikes poke out from its body, shimmering and reflecting the light. Minuscule legs and prolegs, complete with sticky feet, make two neat rows down its soft belly and cause it to move with a graceful wave-like motion. Shiny eyes and a small mouth sit on the flat head at the end of its segmented body.
|MTag=sapphire
|CTag=translucent blue, sky-blue, blue
|STag=caterpillar
|sourcetype=-
|rare=yes
|fname=No
}}
Tiny spikes vibrating with movement, the blue caterpillar crawls across your cheek and settles above your right eyebrow, its sticky legs holding it there.

Moving with a slow, wave-like motion, the clear blue caterpillar crawls around your neck before settling in a tear-drop shape at the base of your throat.

Front legs questing forward in a dainty flailing motion, the tiny caterpillar makes its way up your arm.

A tiny translucent blue caterpillar crawls down the center of your forehead and onto your nose! It stretches itself out, displaying its beautiful facets.

A tiny translucent blue caterpillar scoots down your arm, its shimmering body casting off sparkles of light and settles on the back of your hand like an exotic piece of jewelry.

Questing down your leg in a wide spiral, the delicate caterpillar slips and drops! Luckily it hits your foot and settles there for a rest.

Slowly but surely, a tiny translucent blue caterpillar inches upward to the top of your head. Once there, it stretches itself upward toward the sky, the front of its body swaying back and forth.

Shimmering softly, the blue caterpillar curls in a tight spiral on your left shoulder to take a nap.
