Stellamancy
Commonly known as star magic, stellamancy is an inherently powerful magical field that few are capable of mastering. Stellamagical users have connections with the stars that make up Aavar's River, and the most powerful can even control and weaponise them. Do not get on the bad side of a master stellamancer.
Stellamancy is a subfield of pyromancy, also known as fire magic. Stellamancy is a niche field that isn't recognised by some.
Utility & Usage
Star Halting
A looming threat for all that live within a solar system are stars transitioning. The Star Life Cycle is continuous, and while they remain in a certain state for thousands to billions of years, one can never be too sure when it will happen. Stellamancers have the power to slow down, or even stop, the star life cycle.
The more powerful of stellamancers are capable of reversing or speeding up the star life cycle. This requires an immense amount of energy and power that most cannot even fathom.
Users
Stellamancers are few and far between. Almost none live on planets, the vast majority are nomadic and travel through space. Their powers can earn them a lot of money, so most can afford their own private, customised, spacecrafts, much larger than a typical vehicle for one or two people.
Star Warriors
An elite group of stellamancers that call themselves the Star Warriors fly around the Yonderverse in search of solar systems in need. They rescue planets who's stars are transitioning into the next phase of their lives, by either halting or reversing the process or by moving residents to new planets.
Whether or not a star is deemed a major or a minor star is dependent on a number of factors, such as size, density, and magical qualities. It is illegal in many galaxies to halt or reverse a major star, but in most galaxies it is well within the law to mess with minor stars. With major stars, planetary residents are invited to leave their planet, or be burnt alive.
Social Reputation
In most spacefaring cultures stellamancers are practically worshipped. Saviours for billions, a stellamancer can quickly earn a phenomenal reputation by saving a planet or two.
Mastering Stellamancy
Mastering stellamancy difficult, so much so that roughly 0.000001% of stellamancers have had minimal success. The transition between a novice and a master is being able to survive travel through a star, without any form of protection. If you have some form of connection with the Starfield, either naturally or developed over time, one can survive entering a star. However, if this connection is not strong enough, you will be vaporised almost instantly.
Most are so terrified of this outcome that they don't bother becoming a master stellamancer, preferring to remain as a novice. A novice is not a bad thing, either. Most renowned stellamancers are novices.
