Alignment

RegentSkillUncommon
Gain .

It costs no Energy but 3 Stars, and gives 2 Energy, 3 when upgraded. The Regent starts every combat with 3 Stars from Divine Right, so it is playable on turn 1 as a pure gain. Spending the Stars also triggers everything that keys off spent Stars, such as Black Hole and Child of the Stars.
