“No, that’s okay. I didn’t know my brain could hurt this much… D’you mind if we take a short break, maybe check up on our friends and see how they’re doing?”

[Removed Med. Pamphlet (First Aid 101/Procreation), Med. Book (Diseases), Book of Dark Magic, Engineering Book (Practical), and Medical Expertise Books (Bleeding, clots, nasty gashes; stitches and poison treating) from inventory.]

[YOU HAVE LEARNED TELEPORTATION (-20 MP, Allows small distances to be traveled instantly. In Combat: couple with another attack for x3 damage, 5 turn CD)]

“Hey, Twilight?”

“Did you get that letter yet? It could hold the key for stopping that magical disease.”

“Okay. Oh, and can you tell me anything about this?”

“Good to know, thanks for checking it out. Also…”

“Thank you, teacher. I’m glad I could be your student and learn what you’ve come to offer.”

 

 

[You look over the notes and see very scratchy, precise movements, the quill bored so deeply into the paper that there are tears in certain spots. X’s indicate smudges or burns.]

 

It’s been fourteen fortnights and I still haven’t found my underwear! Where could it have gone? Making a mental note here before my experiment to check the Tamriel universe for spare underwear and to replace the Mask of the Dragon Aspect.

 

XXX XXXXX XX

 

Restoration seems to elude Unicornian magic like the plague. I’ve found many alterXXtives through alchemy and enchantments, but straight healing is even more difficult than time travel and dimension hopping. It’s easy to make a hole, but rearranging the elementary particles of the physical universe by the billions to chXge the state of a life force to be stronger isn’t an exemplary field-- I find it quite impossible from my iniXXal tests.

 

Reporting back, I’ve found that XX XXXXXXX XXXX but only if you focus on the soul’s omicron, but you need the sigma field to be stable in order to process the spell correctly. Keep in Xind that electrons don’t respond well to magical manipulation due to the Equestrian Emotion-Magic ParticXXe, so keep abroad the positive energy that will exXXe if not handled carefully. Repeat-- If you don’t focus on bringing down the positive energy, the spell will explode before you get to blink!

 

I’ve found an interesting discovery. When you use a blessing that recombobulates the life energy of a living being to State Upsilon 432-Statro. 1, you’ll find that there are a series of quantum tunneling effects that begin to remove the up, top and charm quarks straight out of their respeXXve atoms and sending them back a prediXitioned time directly pXopoXional to the amount of energy put in, same as Newtrot’s laws sound and simple, but here’s the kicker: Fourty thousand newtrot units of magical force is required to even perform a single second’s worth of reversal - making healing in the practical sense nonexistent due to the sheer amount of power. Why, a portal back to the stone ages takes less mana than that! A single second…

 

XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX

 

I’ve found it. I’ve found the perfect incantation for the hiXest form of efficient healing, perXrmable by myself and a unicorn or magicXder of a strength of greater than 5,000 newtrots. Dear me, if someone lost in time ever finds these notes, look for my wand, as it holds the key to unlocking this charm.

“Hey, look at this.”

“What’s my magical rating?”

“You can tell me, don’t get all Flutters on me.”

“Well, in any case, I saw it at Fortuna Potions.”

“Excuse me guys, but do you know where I can find Applejack and Pinkie Pie? Hat and pink?”

“Thanks.”

 

“…You… You’re uh…”

“I already saw… That’s amazing.”

“Wait, what?”

[MEDITATING . . .]

[You focus on positive thoughts. The love of your life, Redheart, crosses through your mind. All the friends you’ve made through these last few weeks warm your heart, and heat your mana. When you meditate with these thoughts, you feel much more powerful than you usually do.]

 

[MEDITATING . . .]

[You then switch your mind’s focus to that of negativity. The haziness of your memories and the frustration that comes from it reveals its power as you feel your mana beginning to bubble away. The shadow, the pain and suffering it’s caused, the death that has happened because of it, and yourself, brings your mana pool to a stagnant state.]

 

[MEDITATING . . .]

[Finally, you erase your entire mind off all thought and conscious effort. Your mana begins flowing normally, coursing through your body at a steady state. However, as you keep your mind blank, emotions completely neutral, you feel an odd, tingling sensation. As you focus on the mana itself, the flow and waveform nature of your mana starts to quicken, boiling in an unstable state and becoming more chaotic. Soon, it becomes so fast, flowing through your body that you can physically feel the power within you, and you realize that your magic is easily ten times stronger and larger than it was before, and quickly rising. Thinking about this instantly dissolves the effects, and within seconds it’s back to normal.]

[You have learned how to better control your mana.]

 

 

 

“Hey, have you guys seen a pink pony and a blue pegasus around here?”

“Do you know where they went?”

“Alright, thank you.”

[YOU HAVE LEARNED STARSWIRL’S RESTORATION (-800 MP, heals the target for 100% of their HP, 10 turn CD)]

 

 

 

 

[You look over the notes and see much more pristine writing than before, almost as if a certified scribe was writing, and yet it was still the same hoofwriting. X’s indicate smudges or burns.]

 

 

To any who might read this besides myself, I’ve recently received a visit from my future self explicitly stating for me to write my findings on portals as I work with them to better the future of ponykind, but then he stole my underwear! I’ll have to go find a new pair after I get done with this experiment. I feel as if I have many discoveries ahead of me if I get my drawers stolen by my own future before my very first Graduate experiment, but we will see what happens.

 

XXXXX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXXX

 

Primordial energies are not fluxuating as they sXd be when I cast a teleportation spell that is not transporting me. I spoke with my mentor on why the mana wouldn’t split between its ethereal and physical forms, and he tells me that Unicornian magic is designed to mXlate the physical world more than any other kind, making teleporXon outside of its inXended decision likely improbable. Delving further into this later.

 

Reporting back in, I’ve just made a fantastic discovery! Luck has it that when you cast a telepXion spell on yourself, it’s not just erasing you from one pXtion and placing you into the next, but likely it is the universe itself that is being rewritten in every aspect being the exact same except for your quantum signature being implaXed in a different time of space with a different string vibXtion so you appear whatever distance you detXed the spell to be. With this breakthrough, If teleportation rewrites the univX and not yourself, then the universe itself is malleable, changeable to our whim! This opens up a whole new world of posXilities for magic, and could very well change the lives of ponykind for all eternity!

 

XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX X X XX

 

There’s something missing here. There is a different magical signature when teleporting yourself versus teleporting something else. This should make it easy to pinXint nothing to allow the structure of teleportation to switch to a portal, but it

seXs it is not the case. I believe I spotted the problem when I first tried to teleport the air itself, something not definable by visual measuXents - When you attempt to teleport something a far distance, it requires an exponentially larger amount of mana proportional to the distance, but what if you have to sustain such a spell? TeleXon is instant, but you have to X a portal open for a calculable time, wXich is an entirely alien concept! You can’t simply teleport one place for an infinite amount of time at once, but you’ll chop the poor pony to bits if you just turn it on and off like a fanblade passing through a specific point. XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX with a damn vegetable juicer and look what happened to him! He got his meat ‘n’ two bits sliced up and now his wife’s complaining. Need to work on this further…

X XXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXX

 

I have it! I’ve been lookXg at it all wrong! When you begin to perXrm a teleportation spell, you think of trying to move an object to a destXtion that is not currently its destination, correct? Well, portals have reverse logic due to their very nature! You’re bringing the destination to the object in question, which is a hole in reality that you fill with a tunnel between the two! Portals have NOTHING to do with teleportation, they’re just a shortcut! Once I figured this out, I jot down a woXable charm in five minutes and mastered it in ten. Whoever shall read these notes, please benefit from it as I have long ago. Going to encrypt it with my wand, just in case, so get that if you’re in the future, or if I’m still alive, just give me back my notes.

Move through fast travels and time

Through the endless Universal space

But dare not move through physical prime

Bring together two points face to face

 

Rip physical, enter ethereal

“Oh, I shouldn’t be doing this right here, should I?”

“I'd like to offer you the notes, but as I'm sure you'll understand, I do have other obligations as well. I'm going to be taking the notes to Twilight Sparkle for her to look at first; once she's done a thorough analysis as I'm sure she will want to, then I'll consider selling them. Sound fair?”

“Twilight Sparkle is royalty?”

“Alright. Well, before I go, just two more things. First of all, can you tell me where Marrow Love is? I’d like to know for my friend’s interest.”

“And one more thing, do you know of any other wands or magical clothing I could get to boost my magic?”

“I’ll do that, and thank you.”

“I won’t!”

“Hey Wheaties. Sorry for bugging you so late, but this is the only time I had to come here. I’ve been up to my neck in so much work, I haven’t had time to catch up with you like I promised.”

“Thanks.”

“I’d never forget.”

“Well, you wouldn’t believe it. I’ve trudged through the tundra with everypony else and fought yetis and polar bears, even had to fight off a God of Hate, something called a Windigo.”

“Yeah. The second I got back, I plunged into trying to find a cure for this magical disease that’s been popping up, but then I had to go to the Palace and we actually fought off Princess Cadance, and removed the corruption she had.”

“We got it out of her, though. She’s fine, don’t worry. Hell, it was such an intense battle, one of my friends ended up dying, sort of. I managed to bring him back with the defibrillator that Gyro Gear invented.”

“Well, yeah, it was.”

“To be fair, the rest of my friends had a problem, not me.”

“Even today, I was studying some heavy magic and I actually learned a long dead spell of healing that Starswirl created.”

“Mhm.”

“I don’t really have the power to use it, and I just learned it. Doesn’t mean I know how to do it, really.”

“At least it’s a good excuse for not having been here. Not that I didn’t, or else I wouldn’t be. … So, what’ve you been up to, this week?”

“Not to cut that interesting topic short, but I’d like to catch up with you properly anyways, not in the dead of night. Did you maybe want to hang out, tomorrow? Go shopping or even get a few beers or something with the group?”

“Well, now we have to do this. In fact, my friends and I have spare bedrooms up in the castle for helping with Cadance. Want to come and crash with us in the Palace?”

 

[The scooter is just as clean and new as it was when you first made it for her. There are stress marks on the wheels and standboard from heavy usage, but it wasn’t anything that would decrease durability, just a testament to how much she loves your present.]

 

[You learn a little bit about the foundations of psychological theory. A decent lesson considering the time you had to read.]

 

“They’ll be really happy to see you again.”

“Is it always like this?”

“I needed to have a bit more magical power, and it was the better tradeoff.”

“No more spear.”

 

 

 

“You know, you should come down to Ponyville sometime, visit everyone. When we’re all done with this shadow business, they’d sure be glad to see you there.

“Alright. But I do want you to meet someone, at least.”

“Well, I have a friend you might like. His name is Gyro Gear, and he’s a genius inventor that’s helped me make a few patents. We bumped heads and made a few weapons for the defense of Equestria even, and we’re both getting a bit heavy in the pockets, if you know what I mean.”

“Well, not yet. Anyways, he’s a really good stallion, you’d love him if you hung out with him a bit. I will say that he’s a bit of a shut in, needs to talk to a few more ponies himself, but I have reason to believe that’s changing with his recent success.”

“I’ll take you there.”

“Damn, his dinner must’ve been pretty ruined.”

“Doctor Anonymous, friend of Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle?”

 

 

 

“I’m staying in the castle tonight as a guest of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, friends of mine, and I’d like to go in and talk to them about the healing spell I just learned so I can help cure the two guards from the outpost that are hospitalized.”

“W-what?”

“If you guys don’t know who I am, then I’d be worried about your competence.”

“Unless you’re screwing with me, but then that won’t make me pleased.”

“Thanks for the save…”

“Indeed. Cadance, this is Wheaties, Wheaties, well, you know.”

 

“Well, at first I had planned on using the Circlet because I could get the most use out of it, but in light of the outcome of our last battle, I figured that I should do what I can to help the others stay safe as well… And the mask seemed like it would be of use to some of my friends, so I went with that and gave it to Applejack. Of course, she wasted no time giving me quite the scare with the thing, but what can you do?”

“Is it really that surprising?”

“More for my friends than me.”

“I understand.”

 

 

“How are your injuries shaping up?”

“That’s good to know. I don’t suppose you uuh, remember our conversation after I fixed you up, do you?”

“By the way, I’ve been doing some studying in the magic here, and I’ve managed to come across Starswirl’s wand.”

“Yeah.”

“Sunwhirl had it for sale down at his shop in Fortuna Potions. I needed the wand so I could unlock a few of his charms that I have, specifically his notes on Healing and Portals. I can do both now… Just no mana pool to do it. I was hoping to help those guards, but not with my level.”

“Actually, Twilight and I wrote one to her a few days back so we’ll call you down when it comes, maybe?”

“Indeed. Actually, would you like to try learning the healing spell? Just a tap of the wand, and you could most likely use it unlike me right now.”

“Yeah.”

Zap!

“S-sorry!”

“Traded it out… like it?”
