At 8:04 on Thursday morning, for thirty seconds, all magic in the world of Equis ceased to exist. Although it returned as suddenly as it had vanished, Princess Twilight Sparkle is very troubled and as the minutes and the hours go by, the ramifications of the so called 'Blackout' prove to be devastating. Few realized just how much life depended on the constant and uninterrupted flow of magic.

Now Twilight and her friends must embark on a journey unlike ever before to discover the cause of the blackout and hopefully put a stop to whatever or whoever, caused it.

Some things of note:

This story takes place between S4 & S5 and assumes the comics are canon.

Apparently there is a mod for minecraft that’s called Ars Magica 2. This story is in no way related to minecraft or that mod. Ars Magica is Latin for The Art of Magic.

My first fic, I'm more than open to critiques.
