The creation screen shows a race's blurb on its card and the chosen calling's
blurb in the detail panel directly above the DM panel. Blurb and fragment are on
screen at the same moment, inches apart — so a fragment that paraphrases its own
blurb makes the DM sound like it is reciting the card. Four did:
- bonesetter lifted two clauses verbatim ("you set the bone, you say the words")
- reaver re-ran the blurb's door image with the same sentence shape
- hedge_mage re-opened on "what you know" and re-landed the dead teacher
- beastfolk repeated both the claws and the being-judged beat
Each now says the NEXT thing instead: the hour they wake you and which of the
two trades you will not claim credit for; the employer who arranges to be
elsewhere; where you went to fail safely and what the book's gaps cost your
skin; the town that takes your coin and still wants you outside the walls.
beastfolk's rewrite also breaks the race-set monotony — it no longer opens "You
were born" (now unique to human) and drops the shared "X, and you have…" spine,
so clicking the four cards in a row stops reading as one voice.
The parity test guarded presence but could not fail on the three properties that
actually make all 28 race×calling concatenations grammatical. It now asserts
race fragments start uppercase and end with '.', and calling fragments start
lowercase and end with '.' — verified by breaking both and watching all four new
assertions fire.

race.fragment + calling.fragment compose the DM origin panel on the creation
screen. Authored prose, not stubs — this is the first sentence the player reads.
Parity-tested: a missing or empty fragment fails the suite.
Hand-written like items/ — no build-tool namespace needed. Blurbs are content;
mechanics are code, and a test asserts the blurb files carry no hit dice. The
prose is placeholder; swapping it later touches no code, which is what stops the
content BOM from blocking the engine.
