Twilight Sparkle sat in her bedchambers, the full moon glowing menacingly overhead, reading a book titled in a flaming font "Non-Destructive Uses for the Art of Evocation". Her purple and pink hair laid spread across the pillows as she laid there. She smiled at the quiet, it was relaxing. She was reading the section on Firework Spell Safety at the moment, and was invested in her quest of knowledge, she read about how the horn should face the current celestial object in view, and other such safeties of Non-Destructive Evocation. She was interrupted when the first of two tremors of insane magical power burst forth.
This one was a massive burst of Conjuration magic as something was pulled from way the Tartarus out of the known world. It sent shivers down the spine of every unicorn, and every alicorn as well, they could TASTE that arcane impact. It was a shock the output hadn't torn Equestria in half!
And then, after a short rest, an extradimensional amount of evocative magic shockwaved through all ponies. They could ALL taste this one. It was like Starswirl decided to use fifteen different evocation spells in an massive explosives storage. It made Twilight throw open the window to see what happened, and her eyes bugged out what she saw before her: Whitetail Woods was straight up gone. All the trees were either dying or dead, the grasses and plants all wiped out, and the animals gone. All there was in its place, was a large, dusty, shallow crater that stretched the entire forest's area. This was bad... This was really, really bad. Really, really, really freaking bad. What kind of caster could destroy a forest with one spell? Twilight went to gather her friends. This was an absolutely insane emergency.
