"So... if I'm not in a pit, and this isn't real, then where in Equestria am I?" you ask.

"You're currently inside a realm of pure thought. Your body disappeared from the real world the moment you stepped through the archway," he says.

You roll your eyes. "Great. I have a painful broken wing even when my wing doesn't exist!"

"Well, of course. Pain is a mental sensation, is it not?" Ravenhoof cranes his neck over your shoulder and gently taps on your wing. It hurts.

"Ow—hay, watch it there!" you say.

"Hmm. You've certainly gone and done it this time, Daring Do. But, fortunately for you, the simulation will take that into account," he says. "In any event, your experiences here will feel convincingly real to you, except that if you injure yourself further or die, you'll instead be sent back to your typewriter."

"Oh. But wouldn't that still, you know, hurt a lot?" you say, almost wincing.

"In a word: yes," says the Professor.

Return North to the hallway.

Ask him if it's possible for the simulation to magically repair your wing.

Ask for more information about how the puzzle works.
