UC - STARRY DUST POWDER

Alchemical Name: Starry Dust Powder

Market Region: All

Market Price: 3 Silver

Alchemical Rarity: Uncommon

Alchemical Information: A purple-blue alchemical powder filled with tiny shining grains that look like crushed starlight. It is usually made from moon-dried flowers, powdered mana glass, and trace minerals collected from places with heavy night mana; it does not create light like a torch; instead, it clings to traces of mana, movement, and hidden residue, making them visible.

Alchemical Effect: When scattered into the air or across a surface, the powder reacts to recent movement and exposed mana traces.

• Reveals footprints, handprints, blood traces, disturbed dust, and recent movement trails within the area it is scattered.

• Causes invisible or lightly concealed targets to glow faintly if the powder touches them.

• Makes active mana residue glow for 4 turns, making it easier to notice things that used mana.

• Can be used to follow a trail that is no older than 3 days.

Alchemical Side Effects:

• The powder must physically touch the surface, trail, or target to reveal anything.

• Strong wind, heavy rain, water, or rough movement can scatter the powder and weaken the effect.

• It does not reveal thoughts, souls, curses, hidden realms, or anything fully sealed away from normal space.

• If inhaled, it can cause sneezing, watery eyes, and faint glowing specks in the user’s breath for 2 turns.
