A fast pace of change : Shippu Jinrai

The End of the Chaos War came when the Five Great Elements used their most powerful spell together, all at once, revealing for the first time in the history of Esperia the existence of the StarDust.

From that moment on, the world finally understood the need for rapid change, having damaged its own planet more than enough.

While combining the Five Elements together brought the StarDust to life, they also discovered that they could mix their Elements in pairs.

The magic of Lightning and Wind combined was called Shippu Jinrai, or Fast Wind and Violent Thunder when translated.

This magic carried the message that empathy and compassion were to be developed by every Esper, moving with lightning speed and instantly reaching all of them.

The new realization that they could work together and use magic more efficiently than on their own led the Espers to naturally experiment and combine their efforts with the other Elements.

Shippu Jinrai was the union of Wind and Lightning, and it led to a fast pace of change for Esperia.

Combining even more Elements was also possible—and now you know what happens when they are all brought together, right? The StarDust.

    It is very easy and natural to believe that we are the center of the Earth. And in a society increasingly concerned with individual freedoms, this way of thinking can only spread. Yet it is just as easy to take even a few minutes to reflect on the situation as a whole. By zooming out,…

    The Seven Shapes had become the symbol that there is strength in unity. Each elemental land was represented, and while each element had its strengths and weaknesses, the Espers had understood that the union of the elements could create a force far greater than all of them separately. On an individual level, this developed the…

    Swept up in the whirlwind of everyday life, it is easy to lose sight of what is so often right before our eyes. Magic had made the lives of many Espers far more comfortable than those of even the most powerful kings of times past. But did that mean that all Espers were now happier…

Their means of food production had developed, but history had shown that even though they were at the top of the pyramid, famines and epidemics…

    The discovery of the StarDust throughout the world had made one thing possible for the first time: discussing serious subjects had finally become possible. The civilization of the Espers, until then bound by taboos, such as attitudes toward death, old age, and illness, had become aware of the need to confront social problems, without which…
