Phantom Spark Project

Phantom Spark Project: use the right page before the route turns messy.

Phantom Spark Project is a practical Core Keeper database entry for players who need to decide where it fits, when to use it, and which deeper page should come next.

Database entries answer the first practical question. Once that answer is clear, the linked full page should take over.

This is a structured lookup entry from the latest database batch review, not a claim of a separate save-file playtest. Use the linked full guide for the deeper answer.

Player problem

Use this when ranged progression needs a long-project plan instead of random part hunting.

Where to use this

Use this entry after the name or system is clear, but before spending a full session on the wrong route.

What you need first

A known save stage, one current blocker, and enough inventory or base space to act on the next page.
