Fractured Days Split the Sky
Card data, innate thresholds, special rules, growth options, presence track, and suggested-draft cards below were parsed deterministically from the Spirit Island Wiki via scripts/wiki-fetch.py (MediaWiki API → raw wikitext → template field extraction — no LLM summarization). Remaining [VERIFY] items: Play Difficulty (not in Wiki spirit template; spirit panel only), aspect mechanics (aspect-page parser pending), live mindwanderer stats, and board ratings (play data).

Spirit Overview — Framing
Wiki-printed playstyle note:
Excellent at support and sweeping indirect effects, but starts off very limited otherwise. Several of its Unique Powers need setup to use well; it’s entirely possible 1 or 2 of them may see no play in a given game. Has a hard time getting lots of Presence onto the board. This can make targeting tricky, and may be quite dangerous if a Blighted Island effect Destroys Presence.
Strategic framing [VERIFY: enhance with play experience].
Starting Setup
Put 3 Presence on your starting board: 1 in the lowest-numbered land with 1 Dahan
, and 2 in the highest-numbered land without Dahan. Deal 4 Minor and Major Powers face-up as your initial Days That Never Were cards; in a 1 or 2-player game, instead deal 6 of each. In a 1-board game, gain 1 Time.
Growth Options (one)
| Growth | Effects |
|---|---|
| G1 | first=gainair, second=reclaim, third=gain2time |
| G2 | first=gainmoon, second=gain1p, third=addpresence2 |
| G3 | first=gainsun, second=movepresence4, third=daysthatneverwerecard |
Growth token reference (Wiki shorthand):
reclaim— Reclaim all discarded Power Cards.gain1p/gain2p— Gain 1 or 2 Power Cards (Minor).addpresence1/addpresence2/addpresence3— Add 1 Presence from track, Range N.energy1/energy2/energy3— +1/+2/+3 Energy.card1/card2— +1/+2 Card Plays this turn.- (Other tokens documented on Wiki Spirit template reference pages.)
Presence Tracks
As Presence leaves each track, these values are revealed:
- Energy track: energy1, energy1, energy2, energy2, energy2, energy3
- Card-play track: card1, card1, card1, card2, card2, card3
Core Mechanics & Special Rules
Special Rule
FRAGMENTS OF SHATTERED TIME Each Presence on this ability represents 1 Time. Many of your Powers require Time as an additional cost. Spend it when you Resolve the Power. (Not when you play it.) When you Gain 1 Time, put 1 of your Presence here from your Presence track (or, optionally, the island). When you Spend 1 Time, return it to a Presence track - or if you have no free spaces, Destroy it. DAYS THAT NEVER WERE Your 3rd Growth option lets you gain any one Power Card from a special set you create during Setup. When you gain a Power Card any other way, you may add one unchosen card to this set.
Innate: SLIP THE FLOW OF TIME
- Speed: fast · Range: None · Target: anyspirit
(no thresholds listed in Wiki)
Innate: VISIONS OF A SHIFTING FUTURE
- Speed: slow · Range: None · Target: yourself
| Level | Thresholds | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1  Sun + 2  Moon + 2  Air | Look at the top card of either the Invader Deck or (if relevant) the Event Deck. Return it, then shuffle that deck’s top 2 cards. (For the Invader Deck, differing Invader Stages may give away which card is next.) |
| 2 | 2 Sun + 3 Moon + 2 Air | Instead of returning-and-shuffling, you may put the card you looked at on the bottom of its deck. You may not do this for cards specially placed during Setup. |

Key Strategic Principles
[VERIFY and enhance] — strategic principles should be derived from Wiki-verified mechanics above.
- Use the Special Rule to its fullest (see above for exact text).
- Element thresholds drive innate firing — see the innate tables above.
- Suggested draft cards are Wiki-recommended; pattern-match to your matchup.
Opener Mechanics — starter reference
Auto-derived from data/references/wiki/fractured-days-split-the-sky.json. This section states the factual mechanics every opener must build on (starting income, growth options, innate thresholds, Fast-vs-Slow timing). It is not a strategic opener — use this as the foundation, then apply Deliberate Play + si-rules-check before writing T1/T2/T3 prose.
Starting state
- Setup: Put 3 Presence on your starting board: 1 in the lowest-numbered land with 1 Dahan , and 2 in the highest-numbered land without Dahan. Deal 4 Minor and Major Powers face-up as your initial Days That Never Were cards; in a 1 or 2-player game, instead deal 6 of each. In a 1-board game, gain 1 Time.
- Starting income (from
presence_energy_track[0]=energy1,presence_cardplay_track[0]=card1): 1 Energy · 1 Card Play - Hand at start: 4 Unique Power Cards (listed below)
- Growth type:
one— pick one growth option per turn
Growth options
- G1: gainair ((spirit-specific:
gainair— consult spirit panel)); reclaim (Reclaim all discarded+played Power Cards); gain2time ((spirit-specific:gain2time— consult spirit panel)) - G2: gainmoon ((spirit-specific:
gainmoon— consult spirit panel)); gain1p (Gain 1 Power Card (Minor unless otherwise noted)); addpresence2 (Place 1 Presence from a track (Range 2)) - G3: gainsun ((spirit-specific:
gainsun— consult spirit panel)); movepresence4 (Move 1 Presence (Range 4)); daysthatneverwerecard ((spirit-specific:daysthatneverwerecard— consult spirit panel))
Presence-track reveal rules: placing Presence (via a growth option with addpresence*) reveals one track slot — either the next Energy slot or the next Card-Play slot, not both. The choice determines your permanent-income trajectory from that turn onward.
Energy track
energy1 · energy1 · energy2 · energy2 · energy2 · energy3 — income as slots reveal: 1 → 1 → 2 → 2 → 2 → 3
Card-play track
card1 · card1 · card1 · card2 · card2 · card3 — CP as slots reveal: 1 → 1 → 1 → 2 → 2 → 3
Innate Powers
- SLIP THE FLOW OF TIME (Speed: Fast · Range: ? · Target: anyspirit)
- VISIONS OF A SHIFTING FUTURE (Speed: Slow · Range: ? · Target: yourself)
- L1 — 1 Sun + 2 Moon + 2 Air: Look at the top card of either the Invader Deck or (if relevant) the Event Deck. Return it, then shuffle that deck’s top 2 cards. (For the Invader Deck, differing Invader Stages may give away which card is next.)
- L2 — 2 Sun + 3 Moon + 2 Air: Instead of returning-and-shuffling, you may put the card you looked at on the bottom of its deck. You may not do this for cards specially placed during Setup.
- L1 — 1
Fast-phase element ceiling from Uniques
Fast innates resolve in Fast phase and can only see elements from Fast cards played before the innate. Slow-card elements arrive too late to feed a Fast innate. This is the element ceiling Fast plays from your Uniques alone can contribute each turn:
- Fast-phase Unique elements: (no Fast Uniques — all innate firings require drafted Fast cards)
- Fast-phase L1 ceiling from Uniques alone is sufficient — you can fire L1 T1 without drafting (play enough Fast Uniques to meet the threshold).
Unique Power Cards
No Unique cards parsed.
Invader phase by turn (base deck)
| Turn | Explore | Build | Ravage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ✓ | — | — | Ravage-protection effects are dormant T1. |
| 2 | ✓ | ✓ | — | First Build; Ravage-protection still dormant. |
| 3 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | First Ravage; Ravage-protection becomes material. |
| 4+ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Full cycle continues. |
Adversary escalation can shift this — check the adversary JSON for deviations (Sweden front-loads a Build; some Habsburg levels add early Builds).
Pause-point before writing T1 prose
- Compute post-growth E/CP for every growth × track-choice branch. Don’t assume both tracks reveal simultaneously.
- Enumerate legal T1 plays — subsets of hand with sum(costs) ≤ E and count ≤ CP.
- Separate Fast vs. Slow elements — when claiming an innate fires, verify the threshold is met using only elements from its resolution phase (Fast sees Fast; Slow sees Fast + Slow).
- Flag dormant effects — Ravage-protection, Defend N, etc. are null T1/T2 in base play. Only cite them as opener value when the trigger actually occurs that turn.
- State per-turn material effect for every card play: Fear generated, units pushed/gathered/destroyed, elements contributed. Never narrate dormant effects as if they were active.
