Encouraging and Motivating

Faya, the Shape of Will, had understood how essential the environment was in shaping the daily behavior of the Espers.

The Fire Espers, for example, had the habit of encouraging and motivating one another, which strengthened their Fire magic.

This was not a common habit among Espers of the other elements, and their Fire magic was therefore often quite weak.

“Whatever an Esper’s base element may be, it is essential to instill the fundamental principles of every element.”

“For the Fire element, we must therefore create a society where encouraging and motivating one another becomes natural and obvious,” Faya thought.

“For just as a newborn is completely dependent on those who care for them until they become sufficiently independent, even as we grow, we all remain dependent on one another, because we live on the same planet, sharing the same resources and influencing each other.”

The Seven Shapes therefore decided to include in Esperia’s Charter the duty to encourage and motivate one another, in order to strengthen one’s Fire magic, that of others, and thus develop one of the elements of the StarDust.

    The Freedom to Act

    Developing the element of Fire within one’s StarDust is certainly one of the most counterintuitive things to do. Why? Because it requires us to do things that frustrate us or that we simply do not feel like doing. It means holding back from eating or drinking too much, even during a truly delicious meal. It…

    Balance at the Heart of Physical and Mental Health

    On Esperia too, health was often at the center of discussions, and for a good reason: seeing suffering is not something one wishes for, neither for oneself, nor for loved ones, nor for strangers, nor even for those who may have caused us harm. This last point may certainly lead to another debate, but a…

    Everyone Inside Their Own Bubble

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was giving a lesson today at the Great Library of Esperia. Rebuilding the civilization of the Espers would take time and require everyone’s efforts toward a goal understood and embraced by all. That was no small task, was it? Especially if one looked back at the events of the past,…

    The adult Espers from all around the world sometimes rediscover the little child they once were. During a reunion with a childhood friend.

Nurturing the StarDust that existed within every Esper could become the foundation of shared values…

    Indulgence and Strictness Toward Oneself

    Cha Cha, our dear little platypus who thought of himself as a philosopher, reflected on the difficulty of finding a balance between indulgence and strictness toward oneself. Too indulgent, and one lets oneself go, giving free rein to excuses and easily placing the blame on others, on the current situation, or even on the world…

    The Importance of a Healthy Routine

    The task of rebuilding Esperia on solid foundations was enormous. So many things had to be reconsidered while trying to preserve, as much as possible, the quality of life that magic had made possible, while also limiting its use… A true challenge that required everyone’s active participation. The Seven Shapes therefore decided to emphasize the…

    Different Levels of Consciousness

    If the causes leading to this realization were many and varied, the result was undeniable: not all the Espers possessed the same level of consciousness. Taking the case of a single individual, their awareness of the world around them begins in childhood, with the education they receive from a very young age. As the years…
