Arcanea Mythic Overlay
Factual content → the same facts with an Arcanea mythic framing layered on top, kept clearly separable.
Purpose
Arcanea is the mythic universe register (Guardian/Luminor names, CC-BY-NC canon). This skill adds an Arcanea narrative overlay to real content — a framing that makes it feel part of the universe — while keeping the factual layer intact and clearly distinguishable, so the mythology never overwrites the truth.

content |
yes | The factual base (e.g. a space short, a brief). |
intensity |
no | light (default), medium, full. |
Workflow
- Lock the facts — identify the factual claims that must remain true and unchanged. ✅ Check: a clean factual layer exists.
- Choose canon hooks — relevant Guardian/Luminor names and motifs (Arcanea canon, attributed CC-BY-NC).
- Layer the framing — narrative wrapper at the chosen
intensity, around (not replacing) the facts. - Separation pass — the output marks which parts are myth and which are fact; facts are never altered by the overlay.
- Attribution — note Arcanea canon usage (CC-BY-NC) per the brand register.

Read. MCP: none required.
Quality bar
- Factual layer is preserved verbatim in meaning; myth never edits fact.
- Myth and fact are distinguishable in the output.
- Arcanea canon is attributed (CC-BY-NC).
- Register is Arcanea-mythic, not Starlight-substrate.
Example
Input: the APOD "Pillars of Creation" short → factual_layer keeps the science +
credit; mythic_overlay frames the pillars in Arcanea canon; combined keeps
them separable.
