The Basics

As one of the central places in Esperia, the Great Library had many sections, but all of them were interconnected. As much as possible, the Espers tried to remind themselves of the importance of the 7 Shapes.

A section called “The Basics” received particular attention from its Elders, as all young Espers had to learn them first.

They knew all too well that in order to learn new spells or develop new skills, every Esper had to first master some fundamental abilities.

Mastering the common language of Esperia was one of them, along with understanding the links between the 7 Shapes and how the actions of one could influence others or even Nature itself.

Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, always liked to use the example of Kenko, the Shape of Health, to illustrate the importance of the basics.

“You need a rich soil to grow beautiful trees that bear delicious fruits.”

    The discovery of the StarDust and how to nurture it was a first among the many civilizations Shala had seen throughout time and space.

Thus, it is also a metaphor for two people working together to accomplish something. Because each person runs on three legs, coordination is crucial, as being out of sync

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, had the difficult task of “teaching” how to become more conscious. But she knew better than most that there was a paradox in this, for while guidelines can be provided, consciousness can only be achieved by the Esper himself. A young Esper of Wind gently asked, a bit naively:“We just
