Critical Thinking

In Esperia, there was an extremely valuable skill that was slowly being developed by all the Espers: critical thinking.

Because they were raised with the 7 Shapes in mind, they built up their own unique StarDust, which was in fact the physical materialization of their critical thinking!

They understood that living in the present moment was crucial, as well as seeing their planet as a whole and grasping the bigger picture.

Balance needed to prevail among nature and the living creatures inhabiting it in order to create Harmony, which was understood to be the source of peace for everyone.

Developing their StarDust was therefore the priority of every Esper, as they knew that each StarDust had a small but significant impact on the others.

They understood that it took time and dedication to build a healthy routine—studying, exercising, and still keeping time to spend with their loved ones.

A lot of work!

But their awareness that their actions, even tiny ones, had an impact on their world always reminded them to think critically.

    The Seven Shapes had become the symbol that there is strength in unity. Each elemental land was represented, and while each element had its strengths and weaknesses, the Espers had understood that the union of the elements could create a force far greater than all of them separately. On an individual level, this developed the…

    Swept up in the whirlwind of everyday life, it is easy to lose sight of what is so often right before our eyes. Magic had made the lives of many Espers far more comfortable than those of even the most powerful kings of times past. But did that mean that all Espers were now happier…

    The discovery of the StarDust throughout the world had made one thing possible for the first time: discussing serious subjects had finally become possible. The civilization of the Espers, until then bound by taboos, such as attitudes toward death, old age, and illness, had become aware of the need to confront social problems, without which…
