# WHITE STAR TECHNIQUES
White Star Techniques are the magnificent magical abilities wielded by White Star Sorcerers throughout the realms of Vearth. Unlike traditional spells cast by conventional magic-users, these extraordinary techniques channel pure cosmic energy through perfect harmony with universal forces, emphasizing the sacred principles of balance and creation that underpin all existence.
## LEARNING TECHNIQUES
White Star Sorcerers begin their mystical journey already knowing all Level 1 Basic Techniques—a gift of cosmic insight granted upon their initiation. Additional, more powerful techniques are learned through:
- Rigorous training with revered White Star Sorcerers who have mastered the cosmic arts
- Deep, transcendent meditation at places of spectacular cosmic significance where reality grows thin
- Divine revelations during significant, life-changing events that align the sorcerer with cosmic truth
- Profound communion with their magnificent Celestial Clydesdale companions, who share celestial wisdom
## USING TECHNIQUES
To harness a White Star Technique, a sorcerer must perform this sacred ritual:
1. Speak the technique's melodious invocation with perfect intonation
2. Perform the appropriate, graceful gestures that shape cosmic energy
3. Mindfully expend the required Spiritual Points (SP) from their inner wellspring
4. Maintain unwavering concentration if the technique requires sustained focus
These glorious techniques cannot be performed while wearing metal armor or wielding edged weapons, as these mundane items disrupt the delicate, magnificent flow of cosmic energy that must pass unimpeded through the sorcerer's being.
