Mark of the Star
Long ago the gods entrusted you with a celestial star capable of granting a wish to restore balance during times of great chaos. Though the star itself has already been used, its divine mark remains etched into your soul. In moments of danger the mark awakens, allowing you to bend fate in small but powerful ways.
You possess 3 Star Wishes per combat.
You may spend wishes individually or combine them to strengthen a single effect.
Using Wishes
• 1 Wish — No Action Required
You may use a single wish at any time, even outside your turn.

Creative Wishes
The Mark of the Star is a creative ability. The examples above are meant to inspire ideas but are not the only possible uses. Players may attempt to create new wish effects during play.
Any wish not listed may be allowed at the DM’s discretion, provided the effect is comparable in strength to the examples above.
The Mark of the Star favors those clever enough to shape fate with imagination.
Mark of the Star Awakens
The Mark of the Star cannot be activated by simple will. It awakens only when the bearer is placed under great strain or danger, and when their actions are driven by a genuine desire to do what is right.
In moments where chaos threatens to overwhelm the world, the mark responds.
When it awakens, faint celestial light spreads across the user’s body like a living constellation as fate itself briefly bends around them.
