Pronounced (mee-Ker-ah a-stare-ee-ah) meaning little stars in Greek. The characters say mikrá astéria means little stars in the old language (the language the starshiners used to speak) They are what they sound like, a bit like fireflies, they are miniature stars that glow silver. There are two types of mikrá astéria, one type is the soul of magic, the other is the physical part.

Physical mikrá astéria

A common form of starmagic is to have a group of these that you can control. They don't always do exactly what you want, but for the most part they are controlled by their starshiner. To a certain extent a starshiner can control the numbers between about 200 all the way down to only 5 or 10
