It was a question that often came up in the debates at the Great Library of Esperia, which, since the end of the Chaos War, had served Espers from all over the world as a place to exchange ideas, discuss, and try to find compromises on difficult issues.
The Chaos War had indeed brought to everyone’s attention problems that had already existed for decades, but had been concealed by the illusion of a civilization ever more focused on growth and abundance.
The new fashionable gadgets, made possible in particular by the use of magic, which had developed at a breathtaking pace throughout Esperia, were everywhere, consuming ever more resources for a usefulness that was, quite rightly, being called into question.
With physical constraints now at the forefront of every Esper’s mind, it was, indeed, easier to ask the right questions.
And therefore to finally do what should have been done for years, even centuries.
To discuss how to solve truly complex problems, bringing together many different fields of expertise…
And also, and perhaps most importantly, problems that can only be solved through everyone’s efforts, by helping one another rather than distrusting each other…
The StarDust revealed at the end of the Chaos War became an unexpected catalyst for the Espers.

The Beauty of Shimmering Waves
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…

Preventing Future Problems
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…

The Need for Consensus
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…

Knowledge Put into Practice
During the period preceding the end of the War of Chaos, Faya, who had become the Form of Will, had never been known for her tact or moderation. On the contrary, as the most powerful user of the Fire element, she showed as much bravery as excess in her actions. But the revelation of the…

Revitalization of the Body and Mind
Kenko, the Shape of Health, worked each day tirelessly to spread the message that good health required a body and mind in full vitality. “On the scale of an individual, this means eating healthily and exercising.

Loss of Sight of the Essential
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…

Sensitive Heart
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…

Adaptability
The Espers were now faced with a major problem. Without realizing it, until now, they had gradually damaged their environment while consuming the life energy of the planet, the Aether. They had no idea that the use of their elemental magic was the cause.It had become so natural to them that having to restrain themselves…
