Forming this stellar weapon requires the same amount of time as sheathing or unsheathing a normal weapon, and it may be dismissed at will, returning to orbit your body. If the stellar weapon ever leaves your hand it will be dismissed.

Unique weapons may be incorporated into your solar mote over the course of a long rest. Afterwards they may be summoned as normal.

## Solarian Healing

Your Solar Mote can heal wounds. You have a pool of Healing power that replenishes when you take a Long Rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of Hit Points equal to your solarian level x 5.

 As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of Hit Points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

 Alternatively, you can expend 5 Hit Points from your pool of Healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple Diseases and neutralize multiple Poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending Hit Points separately for each one.

This feature has no effect on constructs or mechanical beings.

Your attunement to your Solar Mote grows, allowing you to channel either the crushing might or the searing light of stars. Whenever you strike an enemy with your stellar weapon, you gain either a Gravity charge or a Light charge, up to your maximum attunement. You get a bonus from each charge, and may use them to fuel your Mote Manipulations. The charges take the form of small purple and white charms that orbit your mote.
