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.

    Language

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?

    Natural Resources

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today.

    Habits

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits.

    The “Modern World”

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources

  • Responsibility

    Responsibility

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and

    Sleep is OP!

    Just like humans somehow forget about their brain—because they can’t see it—they also forget how much their sleep impacts their daily lives… Sleep might be the most overpowered tool that enhances every aspect of one’s life: from learning to physical development, better mood, and more energy. The list is endless! When you think about it,

    Scales

    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

    Smile!

    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.
