5th Book: Arcane Ascension

[magicalrealist]

Action: John Doe Park; locked to Patchouli Knowledge

(It's already been three months since Twi and Patchy became student and teacher. Isn't that something else? The time certainly goes by...

...but after three months of studying everything from those grimoires, the unicorn finally decided to test them out. The park was always a good place to test out powers; this time was no different. After giving the books one more look through, she closes them up and returns them to her bag, giving her teacher a confident nod.)

Okay, I'm all set!

Action: John Doe Park; after the previous action; for everyone

(After several practice runs, Twilight needed to stop and take a breather. Unicorn magic was physically exhausting and magic from Gensokyo was definitely no joke. In any case, she and Patchy are here, discussing a few things and pretty much not blowing up anything else. It's safe to approach this time!)

Harmony is a common theme between both. On their own, the elements are versatile enough.

However, it is the combinations thereof that truly make them remarkable. With just those seven elements, you can think of a spell for virtually anything.

[magicalrealist]

Exactly! I think that's why studying these elements isn't completely as difficult as I thought it would be.

But I still have a long way to go before really being able to say things like that. I need to improve my skills with the five elements before I can comfortably move on to sun and moon magic...but thanks, Applejack.

Huh, sounds pretty complicated but really important too. And if there's anyone who could handle sun and moon magic, Ah'd imagine it'd be you Twilight, what with having been a pupil of Princess Celestia and all!

Still, kinda neat how, not counting the sun and moon, there's five elements that help provide harmony in your magic there, Patchouli. If'n you said there was six, Ah'd almost wonder if they were exactly like the Elements of Harmony where we're from, just with different names.

[wizardoftheweek]

I doubt your Elements of Harmony are so neutral as these.

[magicalrealist]

Maybe not, but it does bring up a very interesting idea: what if somepony were to use only one of the six Elements of Harmony? Would it enhance their represented trait? It'd be convenient if that were true since it could bolster my magic, but what would that do for you and the others?

[downtoearthpony]

That's an interesting question, Twilight. Ah'm kinda curious how exactly it would work as well. Ah mean, Ah don't really know how Ah could be more honest, truth to be told... Maybe Ah could use it to find the truth from others?

What do you think Miss Patchouli?
