Starpiece
ItemStarpiece is a refined and far more potent version of Stardust, packing greater energy and magical force. While it can raise the mana of even high-rank Hunters, taking it places the user under Tiel's immediate command.
Overview
This consumable represents a heavily concentrated derivative of Stardust, holding far more energy and magical potential than its base form. It appears as a golden crystal cut into a geometric shape, giving off a warm, golden-yellow glow that marks it apart from the simpler marble of its predecessor.
Function
Because it is a distilled form of Stardust, Starpiece amplifies a Hunter's mana with one crucial advantage: it remains effective even on those of higher rank, unlike the original drug whose reach was capped at the weaker tiers. That power comes at a steep cost. Anyone who consumes it falls instantly under the direct control of Tiel, surrendering their will the moment its effect takes hold.
Notable Users
The crystal operates on a principle comparable to the Essence Stones wielded by the Rulers, drawing a parallel between Tiel's enhancement scheme and the energy mechanisms used by those higher beings within the series.
