The Seven Shapes and the Espers agreed on rules concerning what they called a Limit Break. Now that the flow of Aether was understood, as well as StarDust as a source, it became a rule for every Esper to limit their use of magic in order to maintain equilibrium. However, it was also decided that…

The Seven Shapes reflected on what balance was truly about. “This isn’t about stillness,” said Vati, who liked the image of a wave to represent balance. Atma, the Shape of Balance, gently nodded in agreement. In some cultures, this idea was shown as light opposing darkness; in others, as the Yin and the Yang. It…

Reflections on how to build a world with harmony at its center led the Seven Shapes to place balance at the heart of the matter. Atma, the Shape of Balance—born from the fusion of all Five Elements and the discovery of the StarDust—was understood to be the key to solving this challenge. They contemplated the…

The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, made it easy for the Espers to remember the importance of maintaining equilibrium across their entire planet. Because they understood that they all shared the same common world, it became evident to them that they should cherish the land that provided their food and the natural Aether…

The development of technologies based on fossil fuels has changed the way the richest countries ruling the world live and behave. Not that anyone would rather return to the Stone Age, but when we recognize the physical limitations of planet Earth, we understand that those who will suffer are not only the forms of biodiversity…

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…

When Atma was born, she brought with her a new concept. Balance in everything is like a wave: the cycle of day and night, the turning of the seasons, even life and death. There were natural rhythms all around Esperia, and when one looked more closely, they all seemed like waves. Sound, light, the flow…

Now that it was known and understood that using magic consumed Aether—the source of life for all living creatures on Esperia—it had become natural for the Espers to take care in how they used magic. How? Because their StarDust also produced Aether, they could determine how much magic each of them could use while still…
