What's that supposed to achieve? If I understand it correctly, it looks like a tool to give yourself an instant Lord or Lady. Say I just drew and used something and then popped Sleeve Draw, will it work regardless of cooldowns (as in, instantly draws another card and plays all the other actions?)

Sleeve Draw: Executes Draw, Royal Road, Spread, and Minor Arcana in succession.

Basically what that means is, if any of those four areas are "blank" then Sleeve Draw will put something there. Normally it would be necessary for Draw to be used four times in order to put a card or effect into each of those areas. Sleeve Draw gives you all of that instantly, but with each card being allocated randomly. My understanding is that any cards already present in any of those four areas will not be replaced by Sleeve Draw. For example, if you have Balance as your Spread card when Sleeve Draw is used, that card will stay put, but you will receive other random cards under Draw, Royal Road, and Minor Arcana.

Also yes, the recast timers for each of those abilities will be effectively reset upon using Sleeve Draw which we can see demonstrated in the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood - Job Actions video. Draw is put on cooldown when Minor Arcana is used, then Sleeve Draw is used 15 seconds later to pull a new card when normally you would have to wait the full 30 seconds before a new card can be drawn.

As you can see there, the range of Earthly Star is much, MUCH bigger than Cure III's. And it heals for 11k non-crit :')

I think the range actually seems to be the same as Asylum, probably more or less the same as CU as well.

actually, that's about cure iii's radius, maybe a smidge bigger. It's much larger than people think it is, and i have done testing on this. Cure iii has a decent radius, you just can't see it because there's no indicator.
