    Octavia wakes up one morning to find that she can’t play any of her instruments at all -- It’s almost like her cello wasn’t meant to be played with hooves in the first place! Together with Vinyl Scratch they must figure out what the hay is going on around here.

    Or maybe they’ll just end up breaking Octavia's cello.

    No telling why Tavi's stopped working, but Vinyl has a fallback for her problem: She's a unicorn, ergo: MAGIC! :coolphoto:

    An auspicious beginning. But where to go from here?

    Surely you won't leave the two most musical ponies in all of Equestria unable to perform. You couldn't possibly be that cruel.

    Right?

    RIGHT?:pinkiecrazy:

    ...you know, taken to it's logical extremes, this could be a setup for an interesting "Adventure" story. Magic in Equestria dries up, need to go fix it before Luna and `Tia can't maintain the Geocentric spin of the Sun and Moon anymore.

    Oh, and Rainbow Dash is PISSED because, without magic, her wings are TOO SMALL to allow her to FLY!

    Please, somepony take this idea and make it a fic. I REALLY want to read it now...

    There's a surprisingly dark implication in this comedy piece. The magic of Equestria is failing.

    My personal theory has always been that pony magic is channeled via keratin "antennae". This is most obvious with unicorn horns, of course, but it's also how pegasi fly (keratin feathers channelling flight magic) and how ponies in general manipulate things with their hooves that they normally couldn't (short-range telekinesis). It's also how earth ponies do whatever it is earth ponies do. :ajbemused:

    I always felt they could grab things due to microscopic cilia on their forehooves which could be unconsciously manipulated by the pony.
