The Wind Mirror

The Wind Mirror is one of the Five Great Elemental Artifacts, born from the Clash of the Elements at the end of the Chaos War, when the Five Elements cast their strongest spells together at the same time—creating the StarDust.

You know how a mirror works, right? You look into it, and it reflects your physical appearance.

The Wind Mirror does the same—but for the Empathy part of any living thing!
Living creatures who haven’t awakened their StarDust all shine with a similar warm and pure soft turquoise light.

Espers, however, see different results, depending on their training in Empathy and Compassion.

The light can even shift throughout the day—or even during a single conversation!

Because when emotions rise, even Espers can sometimes forget to truly listen.

Anyone can use the Wind Mirror.

You just have to look within.

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower and a great element of Fire, had chosen this title to lead a debate about taking responsibility and the choices each Esper had to make regarding it. Even though the end of the Chaos War had brought a brief moment of communion for all, with the StarDust appearing before everyone’s…

    It is very easy and natural to believe that we are the center of the Earth. And in a society increasingly concerned with individual freedoms, this way of thinking can only spread. Yet it is just as easy to take even a few minutes to reflect on the situation as a whole. By zooming out,…

    The Seven Shapes had become the symbol that there is strength in unity. Each elemental land was represented, and while each element had its strengths and weaknesses, the Espers had understood that the union of the elements could create a force far greater than all of them separately. On an individual level, this developed the…

    Swept up in the whirlwind of everyday life, it is easy to lose sight of what is so often right before our eyes. Magic had made the lives of many Espers far more comfortable than those of even the most powerful kings of times past. But did that mean that all Espers were now happier…

    The Espers were at the top of the food chain. And since the use of magic, they had also acquired the means to raze mountains, devastate forests, and drain lakes. Their means of food production had developed, but history had shown that even though they were at the top of the pyramid, famines and epidemics…

    It had become one of the pillars of the new Esperia. Shala, the Shape of Time, allowed Espers around the world to remember the importance of taking time to reflect. Time that, for many, had been devoted to entertainment before the Chaos War. They absolutely had to kill time. The use of magic had made…
