The Lightning Spark

The artifact of the element of lightning was called the Lightning Spark.

Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, regularly reminded the Espers around the world of the importance of developing their element of lightning.

A society based on respect for others and the environment in which they all lived required a collective awareness centered around a common goal.

The Lightning Spark was another way for the Espers to remember that all unconscious actions were governed by their Shadow.

Learning to perceive one’s Shadow, understand it, and tame it was certainly the most difficult task for any Esper, even those of the element of lightning, who were nevertheless renowned for their ability to become aware of things.

That was why all the Espers on the planet had to recover the artifacts of the five elements, of which the Lightning Spark was one.

By combining the five artifacts, their StarDust revealed itself more easily, allowing them to better understand their Shadow.

    In Esperia, there was an extremely valuable skill that was slowly being developed by all the Espers: critical thinking. Because they were raised with the 7 Shapes in mind, they built up their own unique StarDust, which was in fact the physical materialization of their critical thinking! They understood that living in the present moment…
