Many Exceptional People

Ancient myths tell of an era when a king, surrounded by exceptional people, succeeded in bringing peace to his kingdom.

“What made them so different from the others?” asked a young Esper, eager to learn more about the story that intrigued him.

Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, began to smile and replied: “That is an excellent question! But unfortunately, as is often the case when stories describe talented people, only the results are shown. Their journey, and the way they managed to overcome their trials, are often set aside…”

Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, continued: “Yes, that is why, if there are people you admire, you should try to learn more about their personal path.”

Eklea went on: “We chose this theme today to make you reflect on this. On Esperia, we now know that developing our StarDust is the key to a world in harmony, between the living beings who inhabit it and nature.”

“In this way, by following this personal path to develop it, we are all exceptional people!” concluded Vati.

    The Espers were magical creatures with incredibly potent skills, but the Seven Shapes—and in particular Atma, the Shape of Balance—were there to remind them that the more power they gained, the more cautiously they had to use it. Without considering the consequences, a new magic could trigger an irreversible chain reaction that might reshape the
