Nurture your StarDust

In Esperia, the Espers had perfectly grasped the importance of nurturing their StarDust—not only for their own good, but for the world they lived in and the other species around them.

Shala reminded them that they needed to appreciate the time they had to do things, as the hours in a day were limited.

Atma taught them about the limitations of the world they lived in, and that even if they could use magic, no magic could restore land that had been utterly destroyed.

Vati explained how the different elements each Esper possessed were a strength, and how working together was the path to harmony.

Gurumin gently narrated stories of ancient Espers, often unknown, who had helped the weaker ones and devoted their magic to building a better life in Esperia for all.

Eklea focused on nurturing curiosity, so the Espers would remain aware not only of themselves, but also of the world around them.

Kenko showed them that a healthy lifestyle was achievable for anyone.

And Faya cheered them on—to embrace new challenges, or sometimes, to simply begin to act.

    The Basic Needs

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, was certain of one thing: unless the basic needs of the Espers were made a priority, Esperia would never know true peace. The right to proper sleep, and access to healthy food and clean water for all, were the very first steps toward creating a harmonious society. These fundamentals were

    Calming Down

    The Shape of Awareness and Element of Lightning, Eklea, had quite an electric temperament.

    Finding Yourself Through Love

    Does this title sound cliché? I guess so. But is it true? Absolutely. Of course, the word love carries as many meanings as there are human beings on our shared planet. For most of us, the first love we experience is that of our mother, who carries us for months and cares for us by

    The “Modern World”

    Cha Cha, our platypus friend, was thinking about what the “Modern World” had become—and how paradoxical it was. Thanks to new technologies that turned machines into the world’s new servants, life had become easier for some of the richest countries. But this comfort came at the cost of irreversible damage to the environment—damage that was

    Moderation

    Before the end of the Chaos War, the concept of moderation scarcely existed among the Espers.

The Seven Shapes placed moderation as a core principle in the

    Slowing Down

    Esperia was built and envisioned so that harmony and peace would be its foundations. Nature and all the creatures living within it created a virtuous circle, and the Espers — the magical beings — finally understood that the restriction on their use of magic served a greater purpose on their interconnected and limited planet. This

    Values

    What we come to see as “good” values and the proper behaviors to follow are learned throughout our lives. As children, we naturally mimic the actions and thoughts we observe — through the words and gestures of our parents, siblings, teachers, or friends we play with. When we are still very young, we hold no

    A Limit to Willpower

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower, often used comparisons to explain the principles she had to teach. For willpower, her element of fire offered an easy image to grasp—one that clearly showed how willpower has its limits. To keep a fire alive, you need the right amount of fuel. If the fire burns too fiercely, it
