One Daily Tale

A Shared World

Atma, the Shape of Balance, had the difficult task of teaching about the reality of the world—especially to the younger Espers, who loved using magic as much as they could because it was fun.

She said:
“In a world with infinite resources, using magic without limitations would be possible. But we now understand that every use of magic consumes Aether. And Aether is shared by every living thing in the world.”

“The discovery of the flow of Aether was a revolution for Esperia. Until then, we didn’t know there was a limit to magic, nor did we understand its impact.”

A young Esper asked:
“So when I use magic, I deplete some Aether… Is there a way to restore it?”

“By developing your StarDust. The brighter it shines, the more it generates.”

Balance is difficult to grasp, and this is why, day by day, with practice and habits, it becomes easier.

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the

    Guruko and Cha Cha were reading a part of the book One Daily Tale, about a powerful tool that every Esper on Esperia knew about. It was a smile! When they read this, they both looked at each other, wondering what it truly meant… “A smile can lift the day of anyone who sees it.

    In Esperia, one of the most respected places was the Great Library. Not only was it filled with every kind of book—written by the Shapes themselves and by Espers on topics like nature or the peculiar laws of physics in their Universe, which allowed the arts of magic—but it was also a place to discuss

    On Earth, many, many things have existed in a state of balance—long before the human species began dominating the planet. There was the natural cycle of water: clouds formed from the oceans, turned into rain, and flowed back through rivers to the seas. There was also the natural movement of winds, as warmer air tends

    When was the last time you took a moment just for yourself—not doing anything, just a few minutes of simply being? I know that most of you will reply: “I don’t have time to do that.” Unfortunately, if you don’t have time for yourself, even just a few minutes a day, no one else can

    Cha Cha thought that, theoretically, on Earth, even though the Seven Shapes are unknown to everyone, the human brain might be what a potential StarDust looks like! Feeding and exercising our body indirectly powers our brain, and the better the source of energy—what we eat—the better our brain functions. Learning, of course, but also interacting

    Ever wonder why it feels so frustrating when you’re trying to learn new things? You feel like you’re not making progress, or you’re already forgetting what you just learned? This is exactly what learning looks like! Without this kind of friction when we do new things, our brain would have no reason to change, adapt,

    Since she was little, Guruko liked to run in the hills near the small house where she lived with Grandma Luna. She loved climbing trees, rocks, and feeling the touch of the ground on her feet, as well as the smell of the grass when lying down for a quick break. Cha Cha, even as
