    And well they should. One slight twitch of a miscast, who knows what could have happened to her?

    You're quibbling over hairs and you know it, Sunset.

    Hmm... If, like I suspect, she's aged up to her proper Equestrian age... Instant thirty-something-hood!

    Just imagine the kids' reactions. There will be much squealing of delight, methinks.

    She's not wrong.

    Yeah, I'd want to watch that. Just the flat look of 'stop doing that' I can picture on her face...

    Grayven, Lantern of Trolling. What colour would that be, I wonder?

    Oh, Circe is trolling too? Now she's getting it from both sides - Aunty and Uncle.:p

    I take it this is not the first time she's been an equine over the millennia...

    Honestly, this relationship was good for Circe, I think. Playing the mentor to a student eager to learn, without being so straight-laced that she was boring...

    Honestly, you're going to give him a swelled head. And Ponies are already pretty big-headed proportion-wise...

    I'm picturing six feet tall, buxom and curvy...

    ...Okay, seven feet tall and Olympian! That's quite the attention-getter...

    You won't need magic to befuddle men's minds...

    Grayven... Honestly, leave off with the Dad Joke humour for a bit, please? You're making Pinkie Pie giggle...

    Oh, I'm sure she'll be busy with so much research. All the research!

    Are you kidding? She'll have so many things to work out now. She's not going to be laying around sipping tea like a certain Sunbutt now.

    Time to show off a little!

    Flight spell? No, she wouldn't need to spread her wings for that...

    Yes, Twilight, why can't you do that, hmm? I wouldn't be surprised if Celestia or Luna could...

    Eh, hers is basic mastery of known spellcraft, with minimal experimentation. Yours is full-on going off the magical study curve and then building more just so you can go off that too.

    Did Twilight even have Pegasus friends first time around? To the wiki!

    "The breeze feels sooo good on my feathers..."

    And now Rainbow Dash is thinking about some advanced studies, eh? She can't toss around plasma like that, can she?

    Very good question...

    Heh, I bet Luna does have a little bit of a complex about her size. Just something small, deep down in her subconscious...

    Who knows, she might end up slightly taller than Celestia...

    And this is a conversation a long time coming. I do hope one of the first things said is "I'm sorry."

    ...What's that pattering noise?

    Ha, she wanted to jump on that dangling line, but resisted the urge because...

    ...Who could deny her alternate an entrance like that?

    "Well, I'm sure I can make arrangements for a Hush Tube next time. It's so much more convenient for impromptu appearances."

    Good to see things working out. And I see we're leaving Equestria again, for another late-80's entertainment franchise...
    (Bit later than usual today, Mr Zoat. Got a day off or two, I bet...;))

    Correction:
    I studied pegasus magic for years...

    If an Alicorn were to go through the mirror then would they become a New God, or more like an Old God?

    One is a physical god, while the other is arcane energy that can assume a human form.

    And the next three days will be filled with kittie titties:D

    But of course with that same faulty logic Circe wouldn't know enough about Alicorn biology and magic to do so either.

    Sunset Shimmer and Circe. That was how Sunset could threaten to tell Cadance what would have happened if she'd been standing an inch to the left.
    Not exactly. My company is working from home from now until the virus is contained. Which means that rather than getting up and 0600 and leaving the house at 0710, I just have to be in front of my computer at 0900.

    On a more positive note, the guy who owns my company also owns a company that's working on a vaccine. He thinks it should get approval by Christmas.
    Thank you, corrected.
    New God.
    In Exalted, when the Solars ruled Creation, it was illegal to own humans as slave. However, if a human were altered even slightly from the human template then they were no longer 'human', and keeping them as slaves was perfectly legal. I suspect that the Thundercats aren't altered felines so much as altered humans.

    So Mum-Ra altered humans to be cat people?
    That is if you're using the 21st century series and not the one in the 80's.
    Not sure if the 80's one once ruled over a star empire with the Thundercats as his elites.

    So if he did alter them, then he either did it as some way to improve their skills and powers as warriors, or he had a cat fetish.

    It does read a bit awkwardly. Like Circe and Sunset are casting diagnostic spells on some third newly ascended alicorn. For a moment I thought that there was a timeskip and that Sunset helped someone else use her ascension ritual and is now scanning them for faults. Perhaps something like 'as Circe and Sunset continue casting spells on herself'?

    Because being something automatically makes you an expert on that thing, right. That's why, despite not having ever studied medicine, I'm just as qualified as and doctor to comment on the workings of the human body. Indeed, that's why I'm just as good as any physicist, too.

    Have you spent a thousand years effectively being the only human in existence?

    If not your comparison falls rather flat, because the simple fact is she would have to know the basics of her magical biology just to treat herself when injured. And even just the basics would be more knowledge then Circe has.

    But of course, it would be stupid if she didn't know more then just the basics about Alicorn magical biology, because one of her goal's was saving Luna, who was an Alicorn.

    The 2000's Thundercats had a lead writer do a lengthy interview about how the show would have ended. He stated that all Thundarans are based on the blood of Mum-Ra and another species. That species is what "snarf" is and that that species is incredibly hardy and long lived but just not humanoid.

    Remember that thundercats weren't' the only "animal people" we saw in that vision of the past. I'm thinking multiple base species were uplifted to see which versions worked best, and those were used for specific tasks.

    Could Melinoe help Ghi'ta and Arisia with her fear inducing powers?

    She could try to influence them and they could try to fight it back by focusing on their love and will respectively.

    So you are writing Thundercats next?

    Alternately, Thundercats are artificially evolved cats. Hence why you have so many huge variations, like why some look almost humans and others look like furries.

    She could be able to do it right now actually.

    Twilight's mastery of magic, even before her alicorn transformation, allows her the "pony see, pony do" trick, she's the magic version of Marvel's Taskmaster.

    If being non unicorn magic was an obstacle before her transformation, which it might not have been, she did cast a "walk on clouds like a pegasus" spell on her friends that one time, I would assume her alicornization would open up pegasus and Earth pony magic now.

    Help or 'help'?

    Melinoë is the goddess of nightmares and madness. She doesn't really have a low beam setting. Hiring a telepath would be much safer.

    Is the paragon ever going to meet Darkseid in your story?
    That is in the six years in universe time, not after that.

    Also can Old Gods make multiple avatars?

    Is anyone else reminded of that old tg post from way back when comparing "the Ork magic of th WAAAGH" and MLP?

    Sunset might try to stake her claim as the new war boss based on her being the biggest alicorn.

    So they can influence the world, but not make any physical contact with it.

    Could they posses people to interact physically, like the Egyptian gods in the Riordan books

    Are angels like Old Gods, living arcane energy, or are they like New Gods, physical beings connected to the Source for their theurgical power?

    Will there be any future plotpoint involving the Olympians, or any other pagan gods, in the paragon side?

    Will there be any such plotpoint in the renegade side?

    Is Paul influencing Canis the way the renegade is influencing Knockout, or at least unknowingly in his avarice/heart of the Ophidian type of way?
    When he talked to him about his relationship with Zatanna it felt a bit weird.

    Does Canis consider Paul as a powerful New Gods because of his strong soul and not because of his wielding a power ring or any other weapon?

    Is Paul more immune to magic now because of his soul in comparison to an ordinary human, not counting the tattoos and any equipment he may have like spell eaters or mage slayer rounds?

    Would Paul be able to do the spiritual type of battle that New Gods, like renegade and Grayven 50 did, if he were to fight a New God in such a way?
    When he talked to Carol Ferris -14 he said that all she had to do was want him there and he would sense her and come and renegade can sense those that are sworn to him or work for him using his god powers, plus he was also able to use the ring to provide some protection against the AL equation, his enlightenment also probably helped greatly, like Alan who was nearing full on elemental status and wielded a blue ring. The renegade can also empower people using his god powers.
