Starlight adepts study the movements and positions of the sun, the moon, and the stars, searching for secrets written in the sky. They use a combination of scientific study and esoteric arts to measure, record, and predict astronomical cycles and their effects on nature, as well as disasters and risks that may lie in wait. Their expertise in watching the skies also makes them excellent navigators.
A starlight adept adds Knowledge (geography) to her list of class skills and adds half her level (minimum 1) as a competence bonus on Knowledge (geography) checks and on all checks made to navigate or to determine her location. She can also use astrological methods to read people. By referencing her star charts during a conversation, she can use Knowledge (geography) in place of Sense Motive checks.
This ability replaces poison use.
At 1st level, the starlight adept can grant up to ten unenchanted shuriken in her possession a +1 enhancement bonus as a swift action.

When the starlight adept chooses to spend ki to grant her shuriken weapon enchantments, she can choose up to one option from each of the above lists she qualifies for and pay the cost of each to put all of them on her selected shuriken in one go. So, an 11th level starlight adept could spend 3 ki points when activating starfighter to grant her shuriken the limning and shocking burst enchantments, or 5 ki to grant them shock, holy, and glorious.

At 3rd level, the starlight adept learns to read the skies in preparation for the coming day. She must be able to see the sky early in the morning to use this ability. She rolls two d20s and records the result. At any time for the remainder of the day, she may use one of the rolled numbers rather than rolling a d20. At 6th level, and every 3 levels thereafter, the starlight adept rolls an additional d20 at the start of the day, to a maximum of 7 at 18th level.
This ability replaces no trace.
