“In the neon haze of Starfall, survival often hinges on recognizing a Rift-warped artifact, a disguised curse, or hostile spell protocol—before it’s too late. Veteran guild technomancers, cosmic navigators, and frontier exorcists are trained to read magical auras and biocircuit traces at a glance, their instincts honed by a thousand dangers. To the uninitiated, the process looks like luck; to the masters, it’s just another survival skill in a galaxy that never waits.”
