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.

    Imagine for a moment an ocean of grand beauty, with shimmering waves, golden under the sun and silver beneath the moonlight. These waves come and go, sometimes gently, sometimes more vigorously, yet always in this back-and-forth motion that creates a balance. It was this image that had become present in the minds of the Espers…

    Despite their ability to use magic by consuming the Aether of their planet, the Espers had great difficulty perceiving the world on timescales beyond their own. Indeed, their senses did not naturally allow them to grasp such realities; the present moment or a much nearer future would then dominate their thoughts and lead them to…

    If until now the Espers had not understood that each of the five elements was only a part of a whole, and that they shared a single planet on whose resources they depended. In particular, the Espers, endowed with the ability to use magic, had just come to understand that with each use, it consumed…

    Since the end of the War of Chaos, Esperia had changed in many ways, making it almost unrecognizable from what it once was. While some remain nostalgic for that time, when they were the most powerful users of magic on the planet, they were nevertheless not the only ones to have lost sight of the…

    The daily and common use of magic by the Espers had changed their relationship not only with their planet, shared by all, but also the relationship they had with one another. This did not happen overnight, but little by little, relationships based on trust eroded as the use of magic intensified day after day. Magic…
