Clearing One’s Mind of Distractions

For anyone not familiar with Esperia, first roaming its streets would feel like stepping into a living fantasy. Now that the Espers finally understood the importance of preserving nature, they did their best to design their infrastructures in harmony with it.

The Espers of the Five Elements continued to use their magic daily, but with restraint and awareness: they should produce more Aether—the source of all life on Esperia—than they consumed through magic.

Their own StarDust produced Aether. And the brighter the StarDust, the more was produced.

But in a world where magic from all the Five Elements sparkled here and there, the ability to clear one’s mind of distractions became a crucial skill to learn and apply.

This is where Faya, the Shape of Willpower and Great Element of Fire, dedicated a course to remind the Espers that focus and concentration were among the pillars of a bright StarDust.

“We all become easily distracted if we don’t pay attention. This is where we strive to maintain a sincere attitude of unwavering effort toward a goal.”

“It will awaken the Fire Element within each of us—the very element needed for our StarDust to shine brighter.”
