Magi have long been fascinated by the starry patterns on the fur of the starclad mink. Ancient writings tell of ways to classify these patterns in different ways, and no two methods seem to match. Some writings say that specific swirls of light and placements of stars indicate good fortune in love, while others claim the same patterns mean predictions of poor health. Still others claim that the luck granted by a starclad mink pertains only to the mink itself, and not to those near it. At the keep, these beliefs have mostly boiled down to an acknowledgment that the minks are magical, but if their fur holds power over luck, it operates in such subtle ways that no one can ever be truly sure how, or if, it works. The minks, of course, aren't telling, and are content to live their lives while enjoying the food and companionship their magi offer.
Starclad minks are considered creatures of fortune--both good and bad. Many modern magi put no stock in old beliefs, but many still believe that careful readings of the star patterns on their bodies can predict the luck of the magi who is bonded with them or those who stay nearby them. Predictions can extend even to the mink itself, such as certain patterns indicating that some minks will have long lives or have many hatchlings. Others will be quickly eaten by a predator. Of course, this belief has led many to attempt to breed minks for the express purpose of harvesting the fur of those with the greatest luck, and magi at the keep commonly shut down such operations.
