Solid Script Equestria
Chapter 21: Chapter 19: Fairy Tail Magic
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI slowly begin to open my eyes, the morning sun barely beginning to light through my window drapes. It didn’t take too long for my mind to reboot and for a large smile to break across my face. Today was sure to be an exciting one, and I knew the other members are sure to be as anxious as I am right now.
Today was the day I am going to reveal what Fiore magic each member is going to learn. After the party in Nat’s world, I managed to get back to thinking of what magic to teach who after taking the night to relax with something I never did before. Who knew going to a royal Hearth’s Warming party could be so relaxing. And that was a little less than a week ago.
Anyways, once we got back to the guild I managed to decide what magic to teach who, with the exception of Luna and the CMC. Afterwards I used a mass contact card to inform the guild members to come to the guild within five days. That would give everyone plenty of time to clear their schedules and come over, especially Shining, Cadence and Luna. I didn’t actually say what the meeting was about, mostly because I wanted it to be a surprise, so I just told the members that the meeting would connect to their jobs as wizards.
I smile to myself as I walk out of the shower and grab my outfit for the day. It was the casual clothes Sabre wore in the Fate series, consisting of a white button up, long sleeve jacket and a blue skirt with some black leggings, brown work boots and a blue scarf. 
I smile to myself in the mirror before walking out of my room, being greeted by quite a bit of chatter from the main room. I grin as I walk by my office and grab a couple of quests I signed last night as well as the list for who gets what. I nod to myself before walking to the main hall, sit on the bar and looking over the gathered crowd, seeing all but royals and guard members are here.
“Hey Zen, mind making me a orange smoothie please?” I request, the canine saluting and grabbing the ingredients and making the drink for me. I smile again and go over the list once more, making sure everything is ready for the members to learn. I had the weapons I was going to give some of them ready in my Requip dimension, so that was done, and I had the Archive Download spell ready for when the time comes.
Zen comes by with my drink after a couple of minutes, followed by Flora and Spark who brought out some food for some of the members, themselves included it seems. I can’t help but feel a small sense of accomplishment as I see all the members hanging out with one another. No animosity, no prejudice, just a bunch of creatures working with one another to help the world they share.
I grin as I see Fluttershy and Rainbow talking with Gilda and Nate, the quartet looking at a quest Dash grabbed off the board. I see that Flutters is a little hesitant, but Gilda just smiles and pats the shy pegasus back in reassurance. That hen has really begun to open up once she became a member. I told her that she needed to put her pride to the side and accept help, and it has done wonders to her image.
All of us were probably hanging out for about half an hour before the royals finally arrive, the trio being accompanied by the guard members. The six of them were apologetic, but none of us really minded having more time to spend with one another. Though, now that they were here, it was time for me to announce the news. I finish up my drink and teleport it to the dish pit before clearing my throat, getting everyone’s attentions.
“Good morning everyone, and thank you all for coming. As I stated in the message a few days back, this meeting is to discuss a topic retaining to our jobs as wizards of the Fairy Tail guild. As wizards, it is our duty to help out however we can, but unlike the world where my magic comes from, only some of you naturally have the ability to use magic on a whim.” I see many members nodding in slight disappointment before seeing my grin.
“Well, today that changes.” I see many look confused, while some get where I am going with this and become excited. “Today, thanks to the information each of you have given me, as well as what I know about each of you as individuals, I will unlock, and begin to teach each of you magic from the land of Fiore.”
The members immediately erupt into excited cheers, everyone asking what they are going to learn, before I raise my hand quieting them all down.
“Now, I will not just be telling and unlocking the magic each of you are going to learn, I am also going to give demonstrations for each magic style so each of you have a basis to go off of. So if all of you would make your way to the teleporter in the back and meet me at the training hall, we can get started.” I dig into a pocket and toss Echo the keys to the doors. “Echo, lock up once everyone has left. Direct Line!”
I appear sitting on the bench just outside of the magic range. I double check the range, seeing the wood, iron and crystal targets I made earlier are ready. Heading to the main hall, I wait and watch as everyone quickly makes their way in. I nod for them to follow, all of us arriving in magic range before I summon a few benches for everyone to sit at.
“Alright, how this is going to work, is I am going to call your name and I will inform and then show you an example of the type of magic you will learn, so be sure to pay attention. The only exception to this are the CMC and princess Luna.” The four ponies look to me with raised hands, but I just motion for them to lower their hands.
“You four are the exceptions because, unfortunately, I have yet to choose magic styles to fit each of you. The reason for the CMC is because you three are still young, so your magic is still developing as well as the fact I don’t know you three all too well. I do not want to risk teaching you three a magic style that you may not be able to control and end up hurting yourselves and others with.” The trio sigh in disappointment but nod, their siblings patting their back in reassurance. I then turn to the night princess.
“You on the other hand Luna, are the exact opposite of their CMC. Even if you were trapped on the moon for a millennium, your age makes you far more in tuned with the magic of Equestria than Fiore, that it would be incredibly difficult for you to learn one of these magic styles. I will teach you eventually, but not at this time.” The Alicorn nods to me, only slightly disappointed and takes her seat, taking out a small notebook along with Twilight and Trixie that I could tell they were going to use to record who has what magic.
“That won’t be necessary to write you three. Each of your magic styles will be posted with your ranks and MPF scores next to the request board, so there is no reason for each of you to try and record each other’s magic styles.” I inform, Luna, Twilight and Trixie putting away their notepads. I smile a little before taking out the list from earlier and checking who is first.
“Alright, we are going to be going from lowest MPF score to highest on what magic each of you will learn, so first ones first. Fluttershy,” I hear the mare eep and look over to me.
“You will be learning a form of magic called Animal Soul.” I can see she looks slightly interested at the name. “I have seen your connection and interactions with the animals that live around your home, so I believe this magic style would be best for you. This magic style allows you to take on the characteristics of animals you have connections to, allowing you to create hybrid versions of yourself with the animals natural abilities.”
I can see many look intrigued by the magic, Fluttershy looking genuinely excited. “This magic can be very difficult to control and can be dangerous if misused, so we are going to start with partial transformations called Takeovers. Once you have a very firm grasp on partial Takeovers, we will move on to Fullbody Takeovers. That is when things can get dangerous as you will also inhearit the natural instincts of the animal in question, so you will need to learn to ignore and overcome it.” Fluttershy nods before I take a couple steps away and focus on my own magic.
“Takeover, Animal Soul!” I smile as the magic covers me and I begin to grow until I am about ten feet tall, before the magic burst away. It took a couple seconds, but Fluttershy suddenly squees loudly as she sees I used my Rabbit Animal Soul. I looked like a giant bunny, but my fur was blue like my hair with the bottoms on my feet, my mouth and nose and insides of my ears being gold with my scarf still wrapped around my neck.
“Tada!” I say, spreading my arms and enjoying the dumbfounded looks on the members. Eventually I feel something wrap around me, and look down to see a very excited and happy Fluttershy nuzzling into my chest. I could barely hear her repeating ‘teach me, teach me, teach me’.
“Calm down Flutters. I’ll start teaching you later ok?” The mare nods and flutters back to her seat, her smile never leaving her face, even as some of the others laugh. I smile and release my Animal Soul, returning to normal. “Like I said, that was a Fullbody Takeover, so you won’t be learning that for a while.” The mare nods. I nod back and then look at the list on whos next.
“Next, Rarity. You will actually be learning two different forms of magic, one for potential combat, the other to help you in the boutique.” The unicorn looks more excited now. “The first magic style you’ll be learning, for combat, will be Mirror magic. This allows you to summon and control mirror and the power of reflection. It will let you absorb and rebound practically any magical spell creating a very strong defence as well as a varying offence. The number of mirror you can summon are pretty much unlimited, so you can also use a spell called Kaleidoscope to trap enemies.”
I turn to the range and pick a target. “Mirror magic, Kaleidoscope.” I summon the mirror, and to the outside viewer, it looked like the target was sealed within a large crystal. The ponies behind me all look impressed by the use, Rarity already thinking of uses for the boutique.
“So, what is the other magic you were going to teach me?” the mare asks.
“The other magic I am going to be teaching you really has no uses in combat, but as a fashion designer this magic will be very handy. Colours magic. As the name implies, it allows you to control and change the colours of anything and anypony you wish with but a thought. For example.”
I smile and cast the magic on myself. “Red!” Suddenly my skirt and my scarf change from their blue coloration to scarlet red, while my legging turn dark red and my blue hair takes on a crimson tone. “Now Blue!” And with that, my clothes and hair go back to normal.
“Oh my! This will be help so much with deciding what shade goes with which hue.” She say with excitement, thinking of a bunch of designs she has been having trouble deciding the colours for.
“Of course you would teach Rares something like that.” I hear RD mutter, the pegasus laughing slightly. I laugh as well before focusing on who is next.
“Next is Silk Song. As you are in charge of cleaning the guild, and I saw in the personality test that you prefer the rain, so you will be learning a form of magic simply know as Water.” The others seem to understand immediately.
“As you probably guessed, this magic allows you to control the element of water to do a variety of spells for offence and defence. You can capture an enemy in an orb of water, Water Lock, you can blast highly pressurized blades of water that can slice through steel, Water Slicer, and the most useful part of this water magic is you can alter your own body to become completely made of water.”
“What?! That’s impossible!” Gilda yells in disbelief. I just smirk and look to Sonbā, who nods and walks over to me.
“Watch and be shocked.” I say simply as Sonbā gets into his stance.
“Crystal Make Lance!” He shoots the crystal lances at me, and I don’t even attempt to move as the crystals impale me. The others all pale as they see the magic crystals go straight through me, before I turn to them with a smirk, half of my face, chest and a leg rippling like water before reforming. I see another round of dumbfoundment and just laugh with a face that screamed ‘told you’, before turning to the targets and choosing to emulate a certain rain woman.
“Drip drip drop. Water Slicer!” The water is shot out of my hand and cleaves through the iron target I made like it was a hot knife through butter. I smile to the members, all of them look to me with awe and excitement.
“Holy crap, I am going to be able to do that?!” Silk yells in shocked excitement. I just nod with a grin, the mare now very happy she joined up.
“Moving on, the next member and magic will be Raine Jewel. You are actually going to be learning the first magic I have ever used here in Equestria, Solid Script Magic. As many of you have seen me do, this style of magic allow you to write in the air, and the word you write will take on its property.” I turn to the range and choose a target.
“Solid Script Drill!” The word appears before launching forwards while spinning rapidly, drilling straight through the wooden dummy before dispelling. Raine smiles and rubs her paws together in excitement.
I check the list and take a deep breath at who is next. I was honestly a little worried about this, but it fits. “Pinkie Pie.” The mare tries to jump up, only to be stuck to her seat by Twilight. Barely. “It was difficult to find what magic to teach you, but I found one I think could work. I am going to be teaching you Wave magic.” The pink mare tilts her head at the name.
“Wave magic works by creating rapid magical vibrations that can actually nullify any other forms of magic, but only one type of a time. However, I think you should be able to find a way to make it work with more than one form of magic for defence. And knowing your ability to all but give the finger to magical laws, I think you can find a few other methods for Wave magic. Anyways, like I said, the waves are just magical energy vibrating at intense speed. This allows it to be launched as a projectile or to grow into things like shields.”
I walk back to the range and face Sonbā, who nods and gets ready. “Crystal Make Hammer!” A giant hammer made of purple cystals is made before being launched at me, the hammer flying end over end.
“Wave!” I create a round barrier of Wave magic in front of me that stops the hammer in its tracks as well as shatters it. I then look to the range and pick a wooden target.
“Wave!” The wave orb is sent towards the target at very high speeds, shattering the dummy I was aiming for. The others look to Pinkie, who is oddly calm and seems to be absorbing the info very seriously. I nod to her, and the pink mare simply nods back before taking her seat, much to the confusion and slight worry of those around her. I just check the list before moving on.
“Next, Nate Quartz. With your intrigue in the earth and your odd enjoyment of desert climates, seriously how can you like dry heat you are covered in fur, you will be learning a style of magic called Sandstorm. As the name implies, it allows you to control sand for many spells of offence as well as defence. With enough control, you can change the density of your sand, making it harder than steel, to lighter than air. Also, since your magic allows you to control nearly all sand, it could also be used to control an opponent from the inside out by control grains of sand that may enter their body through wounds or simply breathing it in.”
I look towards one of the dummies and decided to show them how it works by copying a certain Jinchuuriki. I focus on the magic and fold my arms, controlling it with my mind alone, letting it surround me to make a protective sand sphere before picking a target and grabbing it with my sand from below. “Sand Coffin!” The dummy is raised into the air in time with my hand before I give an admittedly sinister grin.
“Sand Burial.” I close my hand and the pressure placed on the dummy increases before it is crushed completely with a satisfying crunch. I dispel the sand and let the remains of the dummy to fall to the ground. I can see the others look at the destroyed dummy with almost pity, seeing just how powerful this magic can be when used right. Nate makes a mental note never to piss me off.
“Next is Swift. You have told me about how much you hate direct combat, and combat in general, so you will be learning a form of magic that is mostly about indirect combat, maneuverability and avoiding combat. It’s called Paper Blizzard. This type of magic allows you to create and control peices of paper that come in different colours, each with their own magical abilities, referred to as dances. You can trap enemies with Black Dance and Indigo Dance, attack with fire and ice with Red Dance and White Dance, use Blue Dance to escape fights and Violet Dance to immobilize enemies.” I explain before turning to the range and summoning a few sheets of paper.
“Paper Blizzard: Yellow Dance.” I blow the yellow sheet of paper out of my hand which explodes into a bright flash, and if you could look past it, you would see bolts of electricity striking one of the targets. Swift smiles at the use of magic, already planing to write a schedule for practicing.
“Next, Hot Spark. As your duty as a cook, and your already good control over heat, you will be learning Rainbow Fire magic. This form of magic allows you to control a variety of fire with different colours, each having their own effects like Paper Blizzard, which we will go over together. You will also learn Advanced Fire Control, which will allow you to control any fire in your vicinity, not just fire you create. This will come in handy if you face an opponent who uses fire as you can use their own attacks against them.” I explain, the stallion nodding before I picking one of the targets.
“Blue Fire!” The matrix appears before me as a torrent of icy blue fire is launched out, both burning the target as well as leaving a trail of frost in its wake, as opposed to a scorch trail. Spark looks to the magical fire and the aftermath with a critical eye, trying to take in everything as I use the spell.
“Now is Zen Quartz. Your magic to learn is known as Palm magic. As the name implies, it allows you to concentrate magical energy into your palms, allowing you to deliver far more powerful attacks than normal. As it is a physical based magic you will have to get up close and personal with an opponent, but I have a sneaking suspicion that won’t be a problem for you.” I say with a grin. The canine nods and I walk towards one of the crystal dummies and get into a fighting stance.
I decide to make the magic visible with some Illusion magic, as you normally can’t see it, and it shows as trails of magic flowing into and out of my palms. Stepping forward quickly, I thrust my palm forwards, the magic flowing like water and looking like Silver Fang in One Punch Man, before my hand goes clean through the dummies chest. I smile as I retract my hand and look to the others, who are in surprise that some magic like that could make my strikes that much stronger. Zen in particular looks excited to try out his own martial arts with this magic.
“Gilda.” The hen straightens up as I call her name. “As a griffon, you are used to high altitude areas as well as the cold and wind, so you will be taught how to use Ice magic, specifically Ice Make magic. As you have seen Sonbā do with his Crystal Make magic, it allows you to give magical energy a tangible form, in the form of ice, into almost any object you want. However, what most don’t know as I haven’t shown it, is that Sonbā here uses only one form of Maker magic, called Static Maker magic. This is consentrated on creating inanimate objects. Another form of Maker magic is called Active Maker magic, which actually creates living creatures out of ice.”
“What?! You mean that you can make a fully sentient creature out of ice?!” Luna yells in shock.
“Not exactly. Though they can imitate living creatures, the ice creatures are nothing more than puppets, acting, attaking and reacting how their caster wishes them to. I could make a tiger out of ice, but it is not like it will eventually run off and start a family. It’s just a puppet made of ice that copies how the actual creature acts from my memories.” I explain, the others all looking intrigued, Gilda especially.
“Now back to what I was saying, Gilda. It is your choice which style of Maker magic you wish to use, so I just thought you should know that both types exist before I show you so there in no confusion.” The hen nods and I turn to the target range again and get into my Ice-Make stance.
“Ice Make Battle Axe!” I swing a large axe made of ice at one of the targets, cleanly cleaving through it. I then get back into my stance and the others see my spell matrix has changed colours slightly, looking icy green as opposed to blue.
“Ice Make Dragonfly!” A large swarm of dragonflies made of ice fly out of the matrix and surround the target before dive bombing it as one. The others look in surprise at how active Ice Make magic works, Gilda grinning at the prospect of using that magic. I sigh and look to the list again to see who is next.
“Sergeant Azure Skies.” The mare reflexively stiffens to attention. I just roll my eyes. “At ease Azure. Anyways, your magic I chose is going to be one of the harder ones to learn as even I haven’t mastered it. It’s called Dark Regulus.”
“Regulus? You mean the brightest star in the Leo constellation?” Azure questions.
“That’s correct. Regulus is a form of magic that focuses on using light to increase your physical power for attacks, doing things like turning punches into light claw strikes as well as summoning lion manifestations for attacks. However, as a batpony, I feel you would have a near impossible time learning it due to your sensitive eyesight. So, you will be learning the dark form of it. Dark Regulus is the same, yet the opposite of Regulus. Instead of light, it uses the power of darkness which manafests as dark flames. These ‘flames’ also have the ability to absorb any other forms of magic that produces light, like fire magic, making them stronger as well as last longer.” I explain.
The mare looks to me with intrigue as I turn to the targets and take a breath. This was one of the forms of magic I haven’t been having the best of times with as it is only supposed to be used either by Leo himself or a Celestial Mage through the Star Dress. But I still had access to it, it was just more difficult for me to completely control compared to my other combat spells. I choose a target and take a deep breath.
“Roar of Darkness!” I breath out a thin torrent of the black flames that rapidly grow as they get close to the target, eventually engulfing it and burning the target to ash. I sigh and spit out a small glob of the black fire as I finish the spell. There always seems to be some residual magic leftover in my mouth after using that spell, it is really annoying and rather painful if I am not fast enough. I glance to the members, who are just looking wide eyed at the attack. Considering this world is still iffy about darkness magic, I guess they would be a little cautious, though Azure just looks excited if her smile is any indication.
“Next is Flora. As I pointed out for Gilda earlier, as a griffin you are more used to the colder climates as well as higher altitudes for flying. However, you seem to prefer to stay high in the sky, so you will be learning Air magic. This magic lets you manipulate the air itself for attacks and maneuverability, like causing the air to burst, causing a small explosion, or increasing or decreasing the oxygen in a specific area to weaken foes. You can also use it to create decoys or air doubles for you to take hit while you retreat and use it for things like levitation.” The hen looks very excited as I choose one of the targets.
“Aerial Shot!” The pebbles, small stones and small pieces of debris scattered near the range are levitated in front of me before being launched forward by the air and striking the target multiple times, leaving it with several scratches and pieces imbedded into it. I nod with a smile at the use before checking the list.
“Now, Applejack. As an earth pony you have a strong connection to the land, and you are very strong physically which will be handy in learning to use Earth magic. As you probably guessed, this magic allows you to control the very earth around you in a variety of ways. You can heat up and liquify the ground for trapping foes, harden the earth for attacks and defences, as well as use a type of Earth magic called Diver magic to dive through the earth as easily as one would water.” I explain, the mare nodding along with critical eyes as I turn to the dummies again.
“Iron Rock Vice!” I cross my arms over myself and the others have to catch themselves as the ground begins to shake before several pillars of stone shoot up from the ground and impale the dummy I was aiming for. I smile and slam my foot on the ground, the pillars returning to the earth from whence they came. Already, Applejack could think of several uses for this magic on the farm.
“Rainbow Dash.” The mare perks up and looks to me as she hears her being called. “You were both a very obvious, as well as easy pick foe which magic to teach. You are the part-time weather manager for this town, as well as being a pegasus, a pony of the sky, so it was easy to choose which magic to teach you. Storm magic. This magic allows you to control the very forces of nature to your whim, creating storms that can contradict the very laws of nature. It can be rather difficult to control at times, so I recommend using this to help with magical focus.” I use Requip and summon a retractable staff the same colour as RD’s coat with her Cutie Mark on the end, before tossing it to her, the mare causing it to extend into its full length. She looks to me with a small smile and nods, retracting the staff and hooking it to her shorts before watching as I focus on the targets.
Now, Storm magic doesn’t actually have any verbal spells ordinarily, mearly requiring the user to call on the force of nature in question before allowing it to appear. I take a breath, the air being released from my mouth appearing as mist. “I call upon the frozen hail, falling from above!” Suddenly a cloud appears above the dummy before several sharp peices of hail begin to rain down on it, the shards impaling and sticking into the dummy. Rainbow goes wide eyed at the sudden appearance of the hail cloud, and the dangerous use of nature.
‘Mental note, be sure not to summon anything that could mess with the weather schedule.’ She thinks to herself. I get ready to show the next member his magic.
“Bladed Wind. As a guard and a weapons expert, it was very easy to pick what magic style you will be learning. It’s called Requip magic. This type of spatial magic allows you to store weapons you own in a seperate pocket dimension and summon them to you at will. The act of switching between the weapons is referred to as Requipping. Many of you have seen me do this before, especially a second ago.” I say with a grin before holding my hand out and summoning Hidan’s scythe.
“This will be really useful for me then. I have an admittedly large collection of weapons back home that I am running out of room for.” Wind says with a sheepish chuckle, the others laughing a little with him.
“Well, then this will come in handy indeed. Same goes for you too Star Burst. Like Wind you will be learning Requip magic, however you will be learning a different style of Requip Magic. The Gunner Requip. While the standard Requip that Wind will be using focuses on melee weapons like swords, axes, spears etc, the Gunner Requip is all about summoning long ranged weaponry called firearms or guns.” I put Hidan’s scythe to the side and use the Gunner to summon a magic revolver that looks like Alzack’s original gun.
“These weapons are all about dealing damage from afar, so I think it would be perfect for somepony like you who focuses on long ranged combat over hand-to-hand. I will be granting you the use of four different guns, each having their own ammunition types, as well as their own pros and cons for certain situations. So be sure to talk to me so you know what gun to use for what situation. You can also use the Gunner to store your bow if you wish.” I inform. The unicorn guard looks to the weapon in my hand with intrigue before motioning me over to the range where I get ready. I have fired real guns back on earth before, and I found the magic weapons actually have far less recoil than ordinary firearms, even some of the heavier guns I have at my disposal.
I pop the back of my gun and take out a magic revolver cylinder. “Reload. Spark Shot!” I fire the gun with a relatively loud bang, the magic shot sending electrical sparks flying around as it strikes the targets head. I smile and twirl the gun a couple times before returning both weapons back to my Requip dimensions.
“Moving on, the next member is Zecora. Yours was at first rather difficult to choose, but the more I thought about it, two forms of magic became rather obvious. So like Rarity, you will be learning two forms of magic. Green magic and Plant magic. Both forms of magic involve controlling plantlife, but both are almost opposites. Green magic is all about controlling plantlife on a supportive base, creating or slowing almost any plants either near you or even on you. It is mostly non-combative, so this would work well for you when making your potions and medicine.
The other magic style, Plant magic, is all about controlling plantlife to do combat. Unlike naturally occurring plants, the plants summoned forth with this magic are unique to the magic style, making it so you couldn’t like, grow one in a pot. Each plant has its own uses and abilities, from trapping opponents, to spewing poisonous spores and acid, to even causing explosions. As someone who has a strong connection with plantlife and nature, I think you shouldn’t have a problem mastering these two styles of magic.”
The zebra mare mearly nods as I explain the magic, before I turn to the range and choose an attack. I raise my hand and the ground begins to shake again before a large flytrap appears and snaps closed around the target. I smile before focusing on my Green magic and creating a small raspberry plant in my hand, complete with the fruit. I just smile as I pick a few before rewinding the time on the plant and causing it to disappear back into my hand.
“Raspberry?” I offer to the members, Pinkie, Zecora and the CMC all grabbing one. Judging from the smiles on their faces, I guess they were ready to be picked. I chuckle a little and munch on some of the berries before focusing again.
“Trace, you’re next. This was a tough one do to your amnesia, but I think I found a magic style you should be good at. Your Cutie Mark is of a mirror with a spell matrix. While embarrassing, I had Rarity redraw it for me when you went in for sizing a while back, and according to Celestia, the formula inside the matrix is actually for a rebound spell found in some old dark magic tomes. I belive your special talent retains to both your proficiency in Equestria dark magic as well as being most used to casting reflective spells. Which is the type of Fiore magic you will be learning, Reflector magic.
This style of magic allows you to twist and distort almost anything you target, from clothing to metals to air itself. As it can be used to twist anything, it is mostly used to bend space in a specific area to redirect, or straight up make attacks miss. The only drawbacks with this magic is you can only alter the space within one area at a time, either around yourself or around your target and you cannot distort a living body. As you can imagine, when used properly, this magic can be seen as an almost unstoppable defence.” I walk a few feet away and nod to Sonbā, who nods back.
“Crystal Make Needle Hammer!” A large spiked ball on a chain is launched at me, but once it get within about a foot or two from me, it suddenly curves above me and strikes the wall behind me. I can see several dropped jaws at the display of the defensive use of Reflector magic, so I turn to the range and focus on the offensive part.
“Spiral Pain!” With a wave of my hand, the air around one of the targets is rapidly twisted, creating a vortex of invisible wind blades and slicing up the target I had aimed for. Trace looks at the results from the spell, and somehow feels he could master it quickly. I smile as I turn to the members, looking straight at who is next.
“Emerald Blizzard. The magic you will be learning is mostly to aid in your job as the guilds financial director. I am going to be teaching you how to use Archive. As you have seen many times before, Archive magic is used for storing, organizing and looking up information. I will be asking for your assistance in teaching the others as well since you will have access to the information as well as instruction on learning the other styles of magic. I’m putting a lot of faith in you Emerald. Don’t make me regret it.” I say the last part with a seriousness that could probably give Luna a run for her bits.
“I won’t Faekage. I promise.” He responds. I mearly nod, promising in the proximity of Pinkie was pretty much as good as a blood pact.
“Next, Trixie Lulamoon. As a very intellectual pony as well as an illusionist, I belive this magic will give you quite a bit of help during your shows, in combat and for connecting to yourself and others. I am going to be teaching you Memory Make magic. Like the other forms of Maker magic, this style gives magic tangible form. What is unique about this magic, is it relies on the wizards memories to create the spells, as opposed to their imagination. This spell style is extremely complex, but I have faith you can learn to use it.
In terms of spells, this magic allows you to give form to memories in the form of magical spells. With it, you can make copies of other wizards spells, create entirely new ones from events you have seen as well as merging spells you have seen, create illusions, and make an opponent ‘forget’ how to use their magic.”
I see Trixie, as well as some of the others, tilt their head in confusion. “Like I said, this magic is extremely complex, but we’ll go into more details during training. Now where was I? Oh yeah. In terms of effects this magic will have on you, this magic will increase your memory capacity, making it so you can memorize things like your opponents footsteps, heartbeats and even breathing patterns and magical signature. This is very useful in a fight as you can easily predict an opponents move if you memorized their fighting style beforehand.”
I step towards the range and think for a moment, thinking of what spell I could use for an example of Memory Make magic. Then it hits me. When I was fifteen, I was visiting some family in Arizona, and we got caught in a sand storm during the ride to my cousins house. Perfect.
I smile as I place my index and middle fingers on my temples, the spell matrix appearing behind me. I focus on the memory, the power the storm had, and a name for it just pops into my head. The area around the castle turns dry and hot as the spell begins to take form.
“Memory Make Storm of the Demon Desert!” With that, the wind begins to pick up all the small dirt, sand and dust particles and turns it into several tornados of debris that utterly destroy the target, as well as the three that were right next to it. I smile as the spell finishes, the dust and debris falling to the floor. I look to the crowd, who are all staring slackjawed behind a shield Shining rose.
“What was that?” Trixie asks quietly.
“That was a Memory Maker spell made from my memory of the time I got caught in a sandstorm while visiting family.” I explain almost nonchalantly. The others all continue to look at me like I grew a second head, though a few do send weary glances toward Trixie. I wonder what type of spell she could develop. After a minute or two, everyone gets back to their seats and back to paying attention.
“Next is our own Element of Magic herself. Twilight. The magic style you are going to be learning is actually one you wanted to see if you could learn even before the guild was opened.” I say crypticly, the mare raising a brow. I use Requip and summon a rapier much like my own, only the guard is purple instead of blue.
“Catch!” I toss the sword to Twilight, who barely manages to catch it in time. She looks to me questioningly, but I just smirk and shift some of my hair, lighting my dark eye. Her eyes go wide and she smiles much like my sister did when we first got sent to our respective Equestrias.
“That’s right Twilight. You’re going to be learning Dark Ecriture and Enchantments. For those who haven’t heard about it, Dark Ecriture is all about using written spells for things like Pain and Suffering to overpower your opponent, as well as writing enchantments. The rules of the enchantments are absolute and the only way to get through them is to follow its rules or rewrite the enchantments, which can be very time consuming depending on the complexity of said enchantment.” I smile before summoning my own rapier and turning to the target range.
“Dark Ecriture Pain!” The digital word appears before me before separating into four beams of magic which strike the target. I smile and sheath my sword, the others nodding and Twilight hopping in her seat in excitement.
“Nearly done. Shining Armor. The style of magic is actually another form of Requip Magic like Bladed Wind and Star Burst. It is easily the most difficult and powerful form of Requip Magic simply known as....The Knight.” Shining perks up at the name of the magic, as well as the dramatic pause I used.
“While the Gunner and regular Requip allows one to store and summon weapons, the Knight stores and summons wizarding armor that increase ones magical abilities. In the story of Fairy Tail, the only one to actually use The Knight is a woman named Erza Scarlet, who was regarded as Fairy Tail’s strongest female wizard, so you and I have quite a bit to live up to. Now, since this magic requires you to have the armor, like Star, I will give you access to four different suits of armor. The Flame Emperor’s armor, the Lighting Emperor’s armor, the Sea Emperor’s armor and the Heaven’s Wheel armor. Obviously the armor is going to look different than the ones I have since I have the female versions of each. The three Emperor’s armor are all resistant to almost being immune to their respective elements, while Heavens Wheel....”
I smirk at them as I trail off before spreading my arms to the sides. “Requip, Heaven’s Wheel!” The matrix appears beneath me and my clothes glow gold, blinding the others temporarily as they disappear and are replaced with a small breastplate made of a silver like metal into the appearance of feathers with a flower in the center, while the bottoms are covering me completely from the navel down in a white skirt with sections of armor. A pair of armoured gauntlets appear on my hands as well as pointed boots on my feet. A metal tiara and neck guard also appear on me. The last part are four silver metal wings attached to the the back of my armor, the ones on top being larger than the ones on the bottom. A pair of sword appear in my grip to complete the Requip.
Once the light dies down, the others are floored as they see me in the armor. Unlike Erza who could Requip in like a second, it took me a full twenty five seconds before the Requip is completed, so that would leave me and Shining in a tight spot if we were in the middle of a fight. I smile and fly a couple of feet into the air, enjoying the dumbfounded look on most of the members, and the blushes on some of the others. That is the only gripe I have with this armor, it leaves way too little to the imagination. Not as little as some other armor, but still. I turn my attention to the target range and take aim at the second to last target that wasn’t shredded.
“Now, dance my swords!” I spread my arms and summon a dozen or so swords before allowing them to begin to spin around me.
“Circle Sword!” Slashing the air before me, the circle of blades zoom towards the dummy, acting like a buzz saw as it cuts through the target without any visible resistance. I smile and lower myself to the ground, sending a warm smile towards the members.
“Wow.” Is all Shining manages to say, the others all nodding in agreement. I smile a little wider as I dispel the Requip and go back to my old clothes, the others all still a little stunned, so I decide to use my Arc of Time to fix the dummies I have destroyed. Only took about a minute and a half before the others come back from their stunned trances and for me to fix the dummies and take a quick drink from the water fountain nearby.
“Alright. On to the last member and her magic. Cadence. As the princess of love, it’s your talent to understand how someone feels and how to help them through it. So you will be learning a form of Lost magic that will help you gain a better connection with the ponies you help.” I pause and smile before tapping my wrist and sending a pink beam of energy from my arm to Cadence and Shining. They duo flinch as the energy is connected, a bright pink bracelet made of energy with a heart in the center appearing in their wrists.
“What is this?” Cadence asks with intrigue.
“This is Lost magic, Maguilty Sense. It’s actually the same magic I granted my sister. It allows you to summon these Sensory Links to connect two peoples sensations. While it normally can only be used between two people who have strong feelings for one another, with enough control you can make it so you can connect any two people together, as long as they know of one another. It can make you feel what they feel, their emotions, their thoughts, even their pain.” I prove this by walking up and pinching Shining’s shoulder, Cadence yelping and holding her arm.
“Incredible.” She whispers.
“That’s not all. Maguilty Sense also lets you summon these swords.” I summon one and levitate it the the princess of love. “When these magical swords strike they stimulate the target pain receptors. You could call them blades of sensation. It even works for those who normally are immune to physical damage, like if I was using my Water body or if Sonbā or Luna turned into mist. They would still feel the pain of the magic strikes.” I explain, the mare nodding with a smile and suddenly getting a mischievous smirk. I raise a brow before hearing a slight gasp and see a very red Shining. I grin to Cadence who just smiles back.
“Alright that’s enough.” I dispel the Sensory Link, Shining taking a breath of relief.
“Now then. Now that each of you know what type of magic you will learn, I am going to explain how you are going unlock the magic in the first place. How this is going to work is I am going use a spell with Archive called Download. This will upload the basic information as well as unlock the your magical core to produce the magical energy necessary. When you are learning to control your magic, I recommend that the unicorns and Alicorns wear magic inhibitors so you can learn to summon your magic without you horns.”
“You want us to wear what?!” Trixie yells in concern.
“Think about it this way. You unicorns and Alicorns require your horns to be healthy and strong to work as conduits for your spells, while everyone else will be learning to do without it. What happens if say, in the middle of a fight, your horn is damaged? You wouldn’t have a way to defend yourself. So, you will be learning to focus your magic through your body and without access to your horn. I know it will be difficult, but I have faith that you and the others can do it.”
The others all nod and follow me back to the entrance. I nod to the group and step onto the teleporter, heading back to the guild. It only took about five minutes for everyone to get back into the guild and seated. I take a deep breath and sit up from my spot on the bar, summoning the Archive screen.
“Everyone ready?” The members all nod to me, each looking determined to learn. I smile and hit ‘Enter’ and progress bars appear above the heads of all by the Luna and the CMC before slowly filling up. I grit my teeth and take a breath, the spell taking and copying the information of each magic style straight from my mind giving me a headache. Within a minute, all the progress bars are filled and the others rub their heads.
“Did it work?” Flora questions. I just shrug and look everyone over before focusing on Swift.
“Hey Swift, think fast!” I yell before sending a bolt of electricity at her. The mare yelps before the attack hits, but her body suddenly turns into a bunch of peices of paper before she reappears near the door. She goes wide eyes and looks herself over before smiling.
“Yup, it worked.” I say with a slight chuckle, the others all cheering, clearly excited to get started. “Alright calm down everyone. Now, the information in each of your head will give you a base to work with, but it will only stay in your head for about a month, so I recommend learning to control your magic asap. If you have trouble with magical control, talk to a unicorn who can teach you. If you have trouble with using your magic, come to me and I’ll help however I can. Also...” I close my eyes and summon two scrolls.
“I have take the time to make copies of the magical instruction as well as almost all the spells I have at my disposal in the archives near the back. You will be allowed back there, but you can only take out one book of information at a time, and you are not allowed to take the books outside of the guild for security reasons and to prevent someone who can’t control it from learning this magic.” I toss the scrolls to Twilight and Raine, the duo seeing they are actually the scrolls I arrivied in Equestria with. I smile before summoning what looks like a schedule booklet.
“If you guys wish, we can essentially set up an appointment between myself, Emerald or Sonbā to spend a certain amount of time to help you with your magic styles, which will be recorded here. This way two members won’t end up having overlapping appointments. Any questions so far?” A few hands go up and I point to Rainbow. The mare take a breath before gaining her signature smirk.
“When do we start?”
