Charging up another spell, I hold the framework together while pushing mana into it, then release when I feel it fully charged. A beam of bright white mana fires from my horn, hitting my target. Victory! The teddy bear never stood a chance. It is now a bright pink colour instead of the nice brown it was before.
"Good work. Try another." Twilight Sparkle is encouraging me to go on. She has also brought many more books on magic, even bringing me the most advanced spells she has. Guess she has much faith in me.
Looking through the books, I find another spell. A complicated one. I imagine the frame of it, constructing it, adding on, and finishing it. I then pour mana into the matrix that I created, causing my horn to glow brighter. At that moment, I see a very pink pony enter the room, the same shade as the teddy bear I colour changed. She just walks over to Twilight Sparkle and stands there, watching me do the spell. At least she isn't trying to be distracting.
I feel the spell matrix fill up, I promptly start making the containment for the spell. A doorway appears in front of me, inside it starts to swirl and shift. I imagine where I want to connect it to, choosing the city in the far north, which I have learned is called The Crystal Empire. The portal shimmers, then stabilizes, and finally shows a verdant glade just outside the city. Powering down my horn, I look over to Twilight Sparkle and the pink one. I see dropped jaws. I spend a few moments catching my breath from the exertion.
Finally, Twilight Sparkle squeaks. "Wow. I can't believe you just did that. That's not even a spell!" She runs over to the book I got it from, and sure enough, sees the spell I used.
"Yes it is, that spell you use for teleportation can do this, you just have to anchor it to two points instead of yourself, and extend the duration. As it is, it opens this," I gesture to the portal, "just long enough for the caster to go through. I just made it last longer, so that it opens a portal like this." Twilight Sparkle's wings then shoot up, as if she is going to take off. But she blushes and pushes them back down. Don't know why she's blushing though.
"But, that would require immense amounts of mana that only a very powerful unicorn, or alicorn, would be able to access!" I just look at her knowingly. "So I could do it!" And so, she tries to do it. I also dismiss my portal, now that it has served its purpose. While she is doing that, the pink pony that came in earlier bursts out in speech, presumably coherent if it was slowed down enough. But alas, the pink one is talking too fast to be understood. She does, however, startle Twilight Sparkle, causing her to lose the spell. Good thing it wasn't that far along. Probably the worst that happened was a tear in the fabric of space-time somewhere, no biggie.
"Pinkie Pie! What have I told you about surprising me while casting spells?" Here I am, just watching this. Waiting for something to happen.
"Well, there was that one time where you told me to not do it. And that other one, and that other one..." Seems this happens quite a bit around here.
"Exactly! So why are you doing it now?" This, is gonna be good.
"Well there is a new pony in town and I just had to meet him but I saw he was busy so I left him alone until he finished his spell but then you started to do one and I didn't want to wait for that so I just got your attention before the spell could do any harm cause that way nothing bad happens and everyone is happy!"
"That was quite the run on sentence you did there." And I am wondering how the hell she breathes while doing that. Or how big her lungs are.
Either way, Twilight Sparkle sighs before responding to Pinkie Pie. "That's not the point, the point is that you don't startle someone while they are trying to cast a spell. As you saw, I lost control because you startled me. If the spell had been more developed, it could have cause major damage. So please stop startling me!"
I can't help but wonder, "who is the new pony?"
