Starspeaker by linda c:

You are a Starspeaker - a celestial ship-mage who crafts magic with the help of the stars, sun, moon, wind, and oceans. Your astrology helps determine positioning, the movements of other boats in the water, beasts that might be hiding in the depths, hidden challenges, and other hazards at sea. You are diviner and harbinger, and your power is both oracle and evocation.

The Siawseren and Rionnach mages are friendly, but competitive. The annual Starspeaker shiprace through the Ulian Islands is legendary; the full sailing crew of each region garners celebrity status. The game’s goal is to finish the race first, avoiding as many hazards as possible, and incurring the least amount of damage to your ship. You do this by using different methods to draw new constellations in the sky, bringing magic down into the world.

The demos are all you need to play, and they are available for free. The pretty version you see is $5.00. Message+follow me at @_linfinn if price is an issue, and you'll receive the game, no questions asked.
