........ Okay, i am definitely not understanding that. The fluid is simply liquid magic. Or a fluid that contains magic. How do you specifically turn that into nitroglycerin? Its already magic in of itself, how could it transform into a material?
Not saying it isn't something bucky wouldn't do, nor terrifying, but i am not understanding how he could even do it to begin with.

The same way a large rock can be transmuted into a sofa or a mattress. You convert one form of matter into another with equivalent mass.
You take a specific set of molecules and have them shift into another set of molecules. The base nature of transmutation. This is something complex and fiendishly difficult. Something you'd need a type four or higher to do.
Edit: In this instance, it was the conversion of one energy rich liquid into another. Liquid mana already makes a potent fuel and when combusted, produces thaumakinetic energy. So this is more or less converting one form of energy into another. Sort of.

Yeah! So the only people who can kill all unicorns are powerful unicorns. Or alicorns.
The same people who can kill everyone when they want to anyway.
So... I don't know what the conclusion is, other than Bucky just invented another horrible weapon, and he probably deserves outrage.
So the enemy uses hundreds or thousands of weak unicorns as batteries for Kamikaze Airship Golems and kills hundreds or thousands of your allied forces in almost an instant and no one mentions how terrible it is. But turn their batteries and their other actually powerful unicorns into living bombs and kill just as many if not more and it is suddenly a terrible crime the whole world fears.
Also, the only reason anyone is going to know how possible it is is by telling the entire world with newpapers and reports that it happened instead of leaving it vague as to how he did it so other Unicorns who would actually use it for evil wouldn't know exactly what he did.
6205983
Fear Mongering. The world at large, mostly, doesn't know what Bucky is truly like so they fear and hate him for everything he does that they hear about. And the media goes with it because it makes them money. What sells more and gets people talking more and is more believable to the masses: "Unascended God of War Taken down by his foals in a tickle fight and is a loving father and husband." Or "Unascended God of War once again does terrible shit that even demons from the bowels of Tartarus would never dream of doing."?
6205987
Have the papers mentioned the forward advance vanishing? Has there been any word in the papers about unicorns being used as batteries?
Or was it mentioned that the papers have been silent about the situation for a while.
The world is making a decision based upon an incomplete data set.
6206004
More of what I meant actually, No reports coming in on anything until after Bucky basically destroyed the enemy. It's like.
Reporter 1: Shouldn't we be reporting on this stuff that is happening? You know the forward advance being wiped out, the rumors that the enemies are using Unicorns are batteries for Suicidal Golem Airships and that?
Reporter 2: Nah. Let's wait until The Lord of Winter does something about it and then report on that. Best to have people scared of him than worried about what out enemies can do
*All Other Reporters Agree*
Unless Bucky, Celestia, Twilight, or anyone else in charge told them not to report on the Forward Advances destruction and how it happened, I am wary of the media currently/.
6206036
What actually happened will be revealed.
The total destruction of the forward advance was kept quiet to help prevent war weariness.
Next chapter we see it from the other end and understand how this became a fustercluck.
6205958 cept one liquid just explodes and the other would drive einstein into an alcoholic depression.
6206004 No, that´s impossible, that would NEVER, EVER happen in the real world, you clearly knows nothing ´bout what you are writ..
"CAPTAIN, THE SARCASM LEVEL ARE OUT OF THE CHART...IT GONNA BLOW !!!"
"All decks, all decks, this is the captain..abbadon ship, this is not a training, the sarcasm reactor is overloading ! Every man for himself, woman and captains first !"
I MAY have a SLIGHT Dislike for the Media and that may be what is causing me to react the way I am. Because whether real of fictional, I tend to not like em.
Bahhh...Those fools don't understand what war is...You don't do "honorable" things in war....You don't take into consideration the method to which killing the enemy in the quickest and most effecient way, as long as it is quick, efficient and not leaving lasting damage...
How many country really follow the rulez of war in our world? None...If they follow...Bah, only on the surface.
.... if the war is almost over (assuming the paper is correct), then exactly how much time has passed since the fleet first set out for Fancy?
6206455
Several weeks.
6206468
A fairly quick (if bloody) war, then.
6206488
Not over yet. There are still the survivors who escaped and are now holing up in the mountains or attacking cities directly.
Now, we get bloody.
Soldiers, officers, heads of state, and supreme rulers. They understand what steps one must take in war to protect what is theirs to protect.
Civilians, with their simple little lives and simple little concerns that they think matter more than anything else? They sit there and go "Oh my, that's simply dreadful!" without understanding how war is.
If someone goes nuts and starts ethnic cleansing or killing and raping innocent people in the enemy's territory - yes. That is dreadful. They should be dealt with or feared and then dealt with.
But there's no reason to come down on the people who are out there saving your life. Because of them, YOU aren't drafted into a hurriedly-made local militia to try and put up a pitiful defense against an army of invaders. What's it matter if you kill your enemy with a pointed stick or by turning them into living bombs? The point is they're dead and you're safe. All this outrage is illogical. And I understand why but I'll never agree with people who have such a weak mindset.
Okay. deep question incoming.
SO....
Celestia is an alicorn, the alicorn of the sun. yet she, while in some ways the embodiment of the sun, is an individual separate from sunny perfection, she has her dark moments, yet the sun is still bright.
Luna, is also an alicorn, the alicorn of the night. yet she, while also in some ways the embodiment of the night, of sex and love, romance, thieves, things that should not be seen. She is also in some ways light, she is happy, and a bright, playful pony sometimes
Cadance, the alicorn of love, is not controlled by love, she loves to love, and she loves to make love, yet, sometimes, she can be lustful rather than loving, and sometimes she can be rude, and spiteful (I'm pretty sure somewhere in the chase she is rude to changelings, where I cannot remember. and she probably has some other moments. as an immortal alicorn foal, she has had some fussy moments, right? where she isn't as loving as usal.) She is still Cadance, even after everything.
(note. Cadence, Cadance, it's not important, there are more pressing matters at hoof._.)
Yet Bucky, according to everything that has been said, foreshadowed, and hinted at so far, if and when he becomes the alicorn of war, he will be war and only war. the lust for destruction and nothing else, not Bucky, with the love and unnatural skill of war, but the embodiment of war and nothing else. not his own pony, and just war.
Why?
6206597
For Celestia and Luna, they are different sorts of alicorns.
For Bucky, Twilight, Cadance, and Apple Bloom, they are answers.
6206606
Somehow. that made sense.
sadly I get your madness.
thanks.
6206622
Bucky's actual purpose will be revealed in the final chapter.
6206641 And the final chapter will be number ∞?
6206647
Once Spring and Summer are done, we will jump ahead several years.
After that, there is a bit of a scuffle.
After that, there is another multi year jump.
After that... we approach the end.
6206651 So, around a thousand?
Omigawd.
Suddenly. I feel so old.
The chase never ends though, not until we're buried, cold and dead, in our graves.
Oppenheimer comes to mind...
6206695
We're all sons of bitches now...
Ok, thats it, Bucky needs PR. Here we have a perfectly good massacre (the destruction of the advance fleet) that could be used as a battlecry to justify ANY response and it is not used.... For the Maine, Remember the Alamo, Pearl Harbor.......... the alicorn of war fumbled one of the most important tennets of war..... justify!
6206731
Perhaps he should let Violet handle the masses through a mass Whackoning.
The signal? "Release the Whacken!"
6206515
Same. I honestly don't care what terrible ways someone has to take out their enemy. As long as they don't cross the fine line of what must be done and becoming a true monster, The Mirror Travelers crossed that line way to long ago to have any sort of sympathy. Bucky is still safely on the right side of the line. While he may do some terrible things to his enemies, the things he does are honestly what must be done. Most are just too stupid and sheltered to realize that.
I am become death. Destroyer of worlds.
6206850
Some roads to hell/tartarus are paved with good intentions. You are going to care if you somehow end up on the wrong side of "whatever needs to be done" by mistake or accident by no fault of your own. How many innocent bystanders and other collateral damage did Bucky get? He's probably going to end up regretting it.
Imagine how much better the world would be if we could nuke all corrupt politicians, lobbyists, corporate figures, etc.
Now, how many chapters until someone else figures out the nitrocorn trick?
As horrible as such a spell is the fact of the matter is it probably isn't enough. For an enemy with the power to go and plunder unicorns from other whens and wheres, they'll have completely resupplied their troops at the end of the month. What they are probably going to have to do is make it to the home plane and obliterate it. War begets war, destruction begets destruction since the opposition opposition will not stop until the control everything then you need to speed able to strike somewhere really hurts. But since there are mere travellers and all over the multiverse even that may not be enough.
6206651
Nooo! I didn't want to know that! But I guess everything has to end somehow...
So... Turning one specific material to another.
I'm guessing by re-arranging the molecules and atoms? But if so what do you do about the excess or lack of protons or neutrons or electrons? Those things can't just safely float around.
Sorry for the nerdiness, currently doing my science homework.
Also:
Although there are things considered taboo in modern war.
Damn, I'd nearly forgotten how terrifying Buckminster can be when he gets creative
6206044
The WMD's used (Weapon of Magic Destruction), is that the ordinance you were unsure about writing the details for?
Because I was under the impression you were talking about the purple and brown kinds, not this new one.
6207667
Oh, that happened too... but there are other things that added to this mess.
6207674
Bleh...
As I read this chapter and the idea of conversion of thermatic(sp?) fluid. I realized that The Lord of Winter could in fact make something a little higher on the Unicorn chart but just as effective, maybe even more so. Transform the fluid from liquid to gaseous state via, I believe it is called sublimation. Just as effective but slightly more hidden from the travelers reading the paper. And you would get more of a 'Kingsman' scene.
Silly Sentinal, humans sound weird because humans are weird
Very ingenious of Bucky. Those fuckers had it coming and if it upsets some Unicorns who are in positions of power... tough shit. Somebody was bound to come up with something like that eventually.
6415192 I kind of thought they already had? What with the goo-that-turns-ponies-into-more-goo. Fatal transmutations aren't anything new.
