I'm honestly a little disappointed in the Mane 6 and Luna. Even if they believe that Discord is yanking their chain, they should at least entertain the notion on the off-chance he's serious, doubly so given that they all noticed Celestia's reaction.
Along those lines, I'm also disappointed that none of them were able to connect the dots. If Discord reaches across the boundaries of space and time to snatch up a creature able to use a long-forgotten school of magic specifically designed to combat necromancy, what are the odds that he's expecting that there's going to be a necromancer in the near future?
Nice chapter.
OK, that Fluttershy acts like this around Sarah is kind of cute and heartwarming. Kindness indeed.
And I think she worries to much. Discord pulled her into Equestria so that she might help, yes, but she's by no means a pawn for that reason. She can still live normally, just with the typical additional adventures of her life as a soldier and a soon-to-be magician.
I can already see how Twilight would want to read the book, too, and how she asks Sarah every now and then if she would be able to teach her this magic.
Finally, I share the opinion of RP below me. That Sarah learns a "long forgotten 9th school of magic to directly defeat necromancy, the undead" already strongly suggests what kind of enemie they can expect in the future.
Well... could be worse, it could be the Scourge.
>>Anachronon I can think of another entity worse than what is to come that is similar but deadlier...the Flood.
See the misspelling?
So she uses chi/ki energy.

Super sayin
Why didn't this come up when Sarah did her strip-tease? Bad comedic timing?
Uhmmm... why? Celestia has held the book for like 800+ years... why would she have never had a copy made?
...oh. Well that's very Deus Ex Machina-y.
Still doesn't really explain why she would stop sharing the knowledge of Auramancy in the first place. If it can mimic the other schools, then it's not like its useful for only fighting necromancy. But oh well.
Good fic, so far!
This girl was bullied.
So she's a Hamon user then? This is Jojo, okay, good to know.
But that begs the question: Is she a Jonathan or a Joseph?
hmmm since that power has to do with life can she use it to regrow her lost leg?

Probably why she was able to get into rangers.

Generally you'd have to be able to open the book to make a physical copy of it by reading it and copying the contents page-by-page. I doubt there's a magic that could just poof a new copy of it, that would simply be too easy and a cop-out.
It isn't like the other schools in that it can only be used by a select few, take the Jedi from Star Wars for example... yeah, you could teach the ways of the Jedi and about the Force to new generations even if they couldn't do anything with that knowledge but what would be the point? The book sort of does the same thing and it's a much more reliable way of keeping knowledge as it doesn't change over time through interpretation and perspective, it's a direct collection of what was known originally.
I'd assume the eight schools known, are all schools that any unicorn or pony in general could access with enough practice and effort, the ninth one is special in that regard, that it can't simply be earned or taught, it has to be part of the person in the first place.
It is spelled penchant. American way to pronounce it sounds close to pension.
Also stupid swiftkey tries replace it with perchant, which is a decoy.
Ah necromancy. One of the more fascinating (if evil) magic arts. One things for sure: Things are going to get real dark soon.
Forgot about Sombra.

Oi, necromancy isn't evil. Sure you get bad spirits every now and then but divination is always a good thing to have on your team.
... To be fair, Necromancy is probably the closest magic type to always have a will of its own, considering its name, which means divination via spirits. Necro meaning spirit/dead. Mancy meaning divination via/by. So often you may get an evil spirit who wants everyone to die.
Wow. Ill be damned you made the concept of Ki work in universe by saying it was just a rare, lost magic. I had thought of using Ki(Auramancy) as a magic type that acted as the more violent counterpart to normal magic primarily used by non equines.
