Magic and Aether
The excessive development of the Espers’ civilization through the use of magic had also made it possible to understand its consequences for the entire planet. Just as the Espers learn from their mistakes, perhaps irony had it that they would understand, decades later, the true gravity of their past actions. Magic had given them the…

The Heptaract of Balance
The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, at the end of the Chaos War, had also brought to light the existence of the magical artifact of balance. The Heptaract of Balance. This seven-dimensional hypercube was a perfect representation of the notion of balance that the Seven Shapes sought to promote for their society, rebuilt…

Making Moderation Appealing
For the Seven Shapes, this was certainly one of the most daunting challenges. How could they make moderation appealing when the Shadow of the Espers so often drove them to act against it? First of all, the presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, was, just as with the other Shapes and their respective elements,…
-
The Shadow of Balance
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…

Balance with Nature
Just like Shala, the Shape of Time, the end of the War of Chaos had revealed to the Espers the existence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, born at the moment when the most powerful magics of the Five Great Elements merged and illuminated the entire planet with a new light, which came to be…

The Seven Shapes had indeed come to understand that balance had to lie…

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…

Life Depends on Nature
The revelation of the Shape of Balance, Atma, before the eyes of all at the end of the War of Chaos was undoubtedly a crucial turning point that allowed the Seven Shapes to unite the Espers of the five elements under the banner of rebuilding a civilization living in harmony with nature. This balance, now…

A Loss of Sight of the Ecosystem
As usual, in order to notice things, one must first take an interest in them, and secondly, take the time to try to understand them. Unfortunately, these were two things that most Espers had stopped doing, especially when it came to the ecosystem of their planet Esperia. The extraordinary development of their civilization, thanks to…

An Artificial Environment
After the Chaos War, the entire planet Esperia had to be reconsidered from a new perspective. During the years of war, and through the relentless use of magic to sustain it, irreversible damage had been done to the environment. One thing was certain: the conditions of life were going to change drastically, and everyone, without…
