Excellent Theory

In the eyes of the young Espers of Esperia, a world of peace and harmony wasn’t just an excellent theory, but a reality built on the principles written in One Daily Tale.

The Seven Shapes didn’t only craft the theory together as one, but also put it into practice—not only for others, but for themselves as well.

They were the true representation of individuals who lived by their principles.

“Even the best theory becomes meaningless if no one is able to apply it,” said Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“One Daily Tale is built on simple principles that help develop the StarDust inside each Esper. Slowly, but surely, daily improvements can be made to all Five Elements, which, when combined, make the StarDust shine brighter.”

“Just like the seeds of beautiful trees, at first they seem small and insignificant. But with a bit of water, the help of the daily sun, and time, they become magnificent trees that bear fruit. Our StarDust can become a wonderful tree, bearing fruit for ourselves and for everyone else.”

    Whether they wanted it or not, every new Esper brought into the world was part of a whole: a family, a clan, an elemental region, the civilization of the Espers as a whole… Until very recently, it had been inconceivable for Espers of different elements to even attempt to communicate with one another. Simply because…

    Even though Esper society had changed greatly with the use of magic, an analogy with previous civilizations, some of which had disappeared, was still possible at its core. Whatever the era, fundamental needs, whether food or sleep, had always existed. Having easier or more difficult access to these needs had, moreover, often been the reason…

    Every Esper had this Shadow within them, which acted in their place whenever they failed to act consciously. Imperceptible until the discovery of the StarDust that brought an end to the Chaos War, this Shadow was nevertheless the one that had built their civilization until then. This Shadow, which favored immediate gains for its host,…

    If there is one Shadow that causes a great deal of harm, whether on an individual scale or on a broader scale, it is surely that of Empathy. It often takes control of behavior when emotions speak for themselves: anger, fear, suspicion. It is often said that the beings who can hurt us the most…

    As for Wisdom, the Shadow within each of the Espers was no less present. On the contrary, when faced with difficult questions or complex problems, this Shadow would often avoid the real issue and instead answer something simpler, something it was capable of solving without effort. That was why the Espers sometimes behaved in contradictory…

    In a world of choices that seemed almost infinite, where overconsumption had been made possible by the abundance resulting from the use of magic, the Espers were overwhelmed by sensory stimuli and bombarded with information. It was difficult, then, for the Shadow present within each Esper to make the choices that would promote the balance…

    The Shadow that resides within each Esper has the unfortunate tendency to prioritize short-term benefits for its host. When an Esper reacts unconsciously, their Shadow takes over and acts in their place. Instead of thinking about the long term, which is difficult and requires time, effort, and concentration, their Shadow prefers the lure of an…

    “Without light, no shadow can appear; there is only darkness.” Cha Cha, our platypus friend, had attended a public event where silence was expected. Yet among the audience, two spectators paid little attention to this rule and kept talking, disturbing the people around them. This experience led him to reflect on the Shadow that belongs…
