The more I study sand mastery, the more I see connections to the Starcarved of Darkside. The sun invests some kind of power into the lichen on the sand, similar to how the particulate cloud sends out a weekly pulse that invests power into out starmarks, even if only some few chosen seem to be able to access that power.

Starmarks is a manifestation of Investiture on the Darkside of Taldain.[1] Those who use this system are called Starcarved. Starmarks are highly connected to sand mastery.[1]

Prerequisites

It is unknown how someone gains starmarks, but only a few are chosen to access the power.[1]

Mechanics

The magic primarily functions through tattoos and its effects are not nearly as noticeable as sand mastery.[2][3] Starcarved are charged by weekly pulses from Ridos.[1] Starmakrs are made from a multitude of colors.

Starmarks do not work and are not visible on Dayside.[4][5]
