My mind speaks in curiousness · 10:05pm Apr 9th, 2015
If Baen, just by himself, had stumbled upon Starlight's town prior to The Girls finding. What exactly do you think would happen and how well would he fair? Keep in mind, we all know how Baen works and what Starlight is capable of. I honestly want to hear what you all think would happen.
And no snark or any other things from a certain someone I know (You know who you are XP)
Is it me?
Also, been busy with other stuff. Will try to catch you tomorrow some time.

Not you dude XD Someone else.
Baen would get mad, and I assume that he would still have his 'old magic' because it is probably different from the magic Starlight is using. She wouldn't last too long.

Well I noticed when she takes the marks, the magic goes as well. Old Magic is just a far older and primal version of Equestrian magic, so now add that into the equation. So if she stole his mark, his Old Magic would be sapped and his strength would be severely limited. So now fillies and gentlecolts, bear that in mind as well.
If it was before his cutiemark, he would win no problem. Unfortunately since he has it, he may lose a lot of his old magic and strength. (Remember it also makes everypony equal, so I may take away his super strength and even his attitude. (Remember that's what happened to Pinkie.) With him forced to be equal, he would be a sitting duck against her.

This is true. He'd be at her mercy
2966178 I know there would be intense repercussion with taking the old Magic from Baen. I can see the town blowing up. But lets face it. If Rainbow Dash was a fast as Fluttershy and the others, while the towns ponies were much faster, I think Baen would follow suit.

As far as we would know, Starlight could bend the Old Magic to her will
2966197 True, but remember. Baen's mark is linked to Old Magic and only you know if it would bend to her will or not. Maybe it act like any other mark, or maybe it would be the one mark that would be thrashing around in its container trying to get back to Baen? What do you see happening with Baen's cutiemark?
2966222
Hrm, well Old Magic is pretty powerful as Baen has described before. Back in his time he explained that Old Magic could be manipulated by even Earth ponies, and since his mark is a rune. Well, if Starlight were to place his mark over hers, she'd have access to Old Magic as well as all the strength Baen has PLUS her natural power and strength.

"And that Class is how Princess Starlight obtained her power. Tomorrow will be covering how she defeated the horrible Princesses and turned the whole world into a wonderful place where everypony is equal." (Creepy Smile.)

God, now I need someone to make that into a fic in the BaenVerse. Starlight wields Old Magic, Baen is equal, weak, and is broken and has no will to fight. Twilight and the girls, fate unknown, and Starlight equalizes ANYPONY who acquires a mark. Would make for a neat tale. A hero rises with a resistance behind him or her, and fights back.
2966276 Don't look at me. I have a story of my own to finish. Also my writing style isn't that great and that story would need a good writer to get the justice it deserves.
2966304
True, but who would be able to stake a claim and try?
2966313 You can write it up in a blog and see who wants to adopt it.

Nigglet, don't you have a story to work on instead of putting your own spin on Season 5!?
2966385
Was wondering when you'd show up. And I am, it's more of a question i wanted an answer to.
2966388
I highly doubt anyone has time for that, and if they do, then hooray for them...

Welp, I've put it up for adoption anyway. I need to finish my other stuff AND I'm intrigued as to what writer might take it.
