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.
