A Shared Pool of Willpower

The StarDust, like all things, is governed by rules. With Vati’s guidance, the Seven Shapes soon came to understand this.

And one of these rules concerned Willpower, and how its use was like drawing from a shared pool. Whenever an Esper used their will to take on tasks that were frustrating or required deep focus, a portion was withdrawn.

Whatever the action, the pool was the same.

Faya realized that understanding this principle was essential. For the Espers to strive toward becoming their better selves—and to support the entire community by doing so—they needed to understand this part of who they were.

“We must nurture the fire within us. Using it can make it grow, but if we push too far, it fades.”

“Atma reminds us that balance must be respected. When you use your fire, you must also rest. And because you cannot burn for everything, you must choose what truly matters to you and where you direct your energy.”
