Star Marks: two, five and seven stars, then the burst
Seven Stars Sword
A florett art of the middle game: every strike puts a star on the target, seven make a constellation that bursts.
A free art, neither orthodox nor demonic, fought with a florett only: any of Dawn Day's floretts, or the art's own Seven Stars Florett. Its strength is precision: build the stars on your enemies, then burst them.
- Learned from the Seven Stars Sword Manual, which teaches the art and Shooting Star. The manual and the florett are found together, once per player, by meditating three minutes on the summit of the Star-Plucking Peak from the Qi Liquidation realm. The manual only teaches from the Qi Condensation realm: below it, you are too weak and you keep the manual.
- Without a florett in hand, a technique says it "needs a florett in hand". A technique that goes for an enemy is not cast, and costs nothing, when nobody is in reach.

M1 and passive: Star Marks
Your M1s are Dawn Day's florett thrusts, 10 % quicker with this art as your main style.
- Every florett strike that lands puts a star on its target, seven at most. A perfect parry puts two on the attacker.
- With seven, the constellation is complete: your next blow bursts it, 60 % harder, and throws the target off balance. Its stars fall back to zero.
- Stars go out one by one after 4 seconds without a blow, and each time you are hurt you lose two on your last target.
- Every technique puts stars too, and each is stronger on a target that already carries some.
