Veil
MediumTwo long tilted washes of ink laid over each other with a small accent between, like layered tissue.
“Copy the hero” is the styles and the SVG, carrying the colours and speed you set above. “Copy as a section” adds the wrapper a hero actually needs: the SVG absolute behind the copy, inert to the pointer, and a scrim so the heading holds. The Free licence asks for one visible credit per page: Animation by Pulsar, linked to Pulsar. Licence
The four variables
Set any of these on the section, or on any ancestor, and the hero follows. Nothing else in the file needs editing.
- --pulsar-hero-bg
- the ground, default #f7f7fb
- --pulsar-hero-ink
- the strokes, default #1d1b3a
- --pulsar-accent
- the accented strokes
- --pulsar-hero-speed
- a rate: 2 is twice as fast, 0.5 half speed

More in this series10 in aurora
All heroesDawn
Light pooling low on the right, one broad accent under a faint wash of ink, the quietest way to warm a dark section.
AuroraMediumEmber
A small hot core of accent inside a broad faint one, breathing, with a cool wash of ink in the corner.
AuroraMediumHaze
One wide veil of ink across the right half with a single small point of accent, barely there.
AuroraSparseLumen
A round accent core with a wider halo of ink around it and a second light in the corner, a lamp behind the heading.
AuroraBusyMist
Four very faint fields covering most of the frame, the softest of the series, for a page that wants almost nothing behind it.
AuroraMediumNebula
Five overlapping fields of accent and ink filling the frame, each drifting on its own period, the fullest of the series.
AuroraBusyPlume
Three tall tilted columns of colour rising through the right of the frame, sliding past each other.
AuroraMediumPool
Accent gathered along the bottom edge as if lit from below the fold, a faint ink shelf beside it.
