The Aether Seed

If all five artifacts of each element had their own properties and crucial importance, the artifact of the Earth element could perhaps be considered the most indispensable for the renewal of the planet Esperia.

Called “the Aether Seed,” this artifact gave its possessor the ability to produce Aether when they developed their Earth element!

Nevertheless, the quantity was very small on a global scale, and it barely allowed the Espers to compensate for their personal expenditure when using magic.

The new charter, designed so that the civilization of the Espers could henceforth live in harmony as closely as possible with nature, necessarily involved conserving as much Aether as possible, the source of the planet, while preserving the most essential benefits of the use of magic.

This had profoundly changed society, but the discovery of the StarDust had finally created a planetary consensus: such a disaster as the Chaos War must never happen again.

However, unlike in the past, when wars sprouted inexorably like a virus, one thing had changed: the revelation of the StarDust had brought to light the Shadow within every Esper on the planet.

Seeking the Earth artifact and then planting the Aether Seed within oneself had become, just like the artifacts of the other elements, a quest that led the Espers to discover their world, but also to better discover themselves and to tame their Shadow.

    Language

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?…

    Natural Resources

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today.

    Habits

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits.

    The “Modern World”

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources…

    Responsibility

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and…

    Sleep is OP!

    Just like humans somehow forget about their brain—because they can’t see it—they also forget how much their sleep impacts their daily lives… Sleep might be the most overpowered tool that enhances every aspect of one’s life: from learning to physical development, better mood, and more energy. The list is endless! When you think about it,…

    Scales

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the…

    Smile!

    Guruko and Cha Cha were reading a part of the book One Daily Tale, about a powerful tool that every Esper on Esperia knew about. It was a smile! When they read this, they both looked at each other, wondering what it truly meant… “A smile can lift the day of anyone who sees it.…
