Aether

The magical world of Esperia was filled with Aether, saturating the atmosphere and creating rainbow reflections that could be admired just by looking at the sky.

While we humans need to breathe air rich in oxygen, the Espers needed to breathe air filled with Aether.

Not only did it connect them to the nature of Esperia, but it was also the source of their magical powers.

One of the first classes taught by Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was on Aether and the importance of breath.

“In order to use your magical powers at their best, you need to be able to breathe properly!”

In the Awareness section of the Great Library of Esperia, you could see many young Espers practicing the art of breathing.

They would focus on their breath—gently but steadily—and slowly, you could see Aether begin to fuse with their StarDust!

It brought them peace and harmony, always reminding them of the importance of Esperia’s natural essence.

    This time, Kenko, the Shape of Health, raised the difficult question of exhaustion—of being completely worn out. “I understand that some of you think this may be a sign that you are working hard, or doing your best,” said Kenko. “But you also need to remember how your StarDust works, and how it needs rest

    The Espers were magical creatures able to shape reality itself through their powers. Some were said to possess so much power that they could even bend the laws of time and space… With that in mind, it was a world where the question of what was real and what was shaped by magic was omnipresent.

    The gentle breeze of spring was often paired with a calm and kind personality, warming the atmosphere just as spring gently takes over winter with its delicate warmth. All the Espers soon found themselves on the same wavelength when spring began. While the Espers of the Wind were the most delighted when spring finally arrived

    The notion of time and its flow was mysterious for the Espers as well. Just like their inner Shadows, which can only be perceived when the StarDust that lies within them finally shines, Time was difficult to grasp without taking the time to think about it. This is where Shala, the Shape of Time, served
