Pulsar Splash poured over his pages, the mess of papyrus upon the table, all his notes were written there.
"This...yes..."
He even dared to draw in charcoal directly on his beautiful oak table, but that was okay, he could always transmute another. Make it cedar this time if he pleased.
"If I take his proto time incantation and his glue enchantment...pulls these concepts from them..."
Pulsar was double checking his knowledge, not necessary at all for his skill, but this was important.
This was big.
All of Equestria would know the name Pulsar Splash, they would know him and he'd be the talk of the balls he hated.
"With those taken and put here, wrapped in my flow permanency spell...It should work."
"Will work..."
He concluded his pep talk and checks, his horn lighting up and his tower began to shake.
The unicorn was lifted off his hooves and the shade of grey shone bright from his long horn as he was lifted above the table.
"Pulsar Splash...you're a fucking genius."
His notes began to hover around him, the charcoal lines coming off the very table to change shape under him into a unique incantation circle, one that would be known at the blackest magic foundation.
It could raise dead, it could kill full alicorns immediately, nopony would be allowed to see it, but his purpose for it was to best the alicorns themself.
Was to spit in the face of the afterlife and deny the EverMore a proper ascendance to this power.
"Yes! YES! DO IT!" The unicorn cheered himself on while the glass windows of his tower shattered and floated while the books and very shelves of his giant study lost gravity.
The stone bricks even came apart, some falling out and some just floating, eventually his entire tower fell apart and all his books flew open, rapidly flipping their information through the unseen wind torrents.
A giant grey light shot from the incantation circle below him and his tower was blown apart, the stone bottom of his tallest floor stayed in the air below him, the circle imprinting on it with a brilliant display of his grey luster painting it on to glow for the rest of his life.
The sun blinked multiple times, shocking the order of everything that lived around his now destroyed home in this cataclymic spell.
This euphoric moment lasted hours to him but in jsut a minute, he was gently placed on the top of the incantation circle, the light chasing into his body.
His notes were wrapped by his magic of his own will, tied together and transmuted to make the official spell and process for it.
"My immortality spell...complete, just wait unt-."
The unicorn heard footsteps and felt something tingle on his flank while he stood on the gravity defying platform, the black circle of the incantation premanently pressed to the stone.
"Pulsar Splash! Are you okay?!" That was Starswirl, his ears knew that voice.
Pulsar levitated himself down at his words, "after thirty years, it's here, my cutiemark."
It was a brilliant blue and white star shooting a white beam into a horn,"Pulsar Splash, what was that aura you let out? Your magic nearly destroyed this entire hill!"
"I casted my height of achievement!" Starswirl's horn lit up at his proclaimation, he was examining him and his body's state with his magic.
"You...you're immortal," the yet to be bearded whispered with his words falling like an anvil into Pulsar's eagerness, "your body...your cells, nothing is aging or degrading, any magical infodex spell is proving that..."
"What's wrong, Swirl?"
"Pulsar, you cheated life, this...nopony and nothing is allowed to live forever, you've destroyed the natural order."
And out of embarassment, Pulsar Splash teleported himself and all his notes, books, everything he cared about far away from Starswirl, far away from where they were and deep into the mountains, atop a forest covered plateau. If he out of anypony, couldn't understand what he accomplished and spat in his face as if he was a dabbling in the forbidden then he would be burnt like it.
There he hid, with an illusion spell to make it appear normal, an enchantment to make ponies get lost on the way to him and exit back out where they came, and a manor was transmuted with the trees around him.
He knew from the tone, Starswirl did not approve, and he was stubborn enough to not fight with him but to simply leave and study, and do whatever he damn well pleased for eternity. He was wanting a reason after all and he didn't need anypony blocking his endeavors.
