Recognizing the Essential and the Superfluous

Even if it may seem obvious, when one has not reflected on a problem, it can sometimes appear invisible, as if it did not exist.

Nevertheless, the critical ecological state into which Esperia had fallen, particularly following the War of Chaos between the Five Elements, had this time shown all the Espers that the use of magic was not without consequences for their environment.

This realization was an incredible opportunity for them: to rebuild their civilization on healthier foundations, for themselves and for their planet, shared by all.

This would not happen without difficulties, but the time had come for each of them to reflect and to recognize what was essential and what was superfluous in their lives.

The Espers of the Five Elements had now understood that they all shared a common foundation, and even if their respective elements made them different, at their core, what was essential or superfluous was the same for everyone.

A concern about the Espers most dependent on their magic was nevertheless becoming visible, because recognizing the essential and the superfluous intrinsically meant for them that they would have to limit its use…

A difficult problem, but one that was essential to confront in order to avoid even more disastrous consequences.
