This story is a sequel to Foreign Affairs
Twilight Sparkle's fascination with ancient runes began when the Cosmic Lotus encountered the portal to Chakastra deep in space. Years later, Violet Woods and Chakat Tigerbright discovered the control devices for the portal and the complex runes that enabled them. Studies of those runes by Twilight and Tigerbright have led to exciting new magic, but for one young griffon, it has opened up previously undreamt possibilities.
Sequel to "Foreign Affairs" beginning soon after the birth of Tigerlily.

Great story thanks for sharing. Poor Goldfur wonder if shi has been allowed to been to forget telling a freighter captain once many many times MAGIC isn't real
I cannot wait to see this bright eye'd young griffon grow into the talented mage I can already see lurking beneath the surface.
Soooo, they think that you can put the right runes on a stick to make a wand.
Sudenly reminded of the movie "Parascope Down" and the phrase "Welcome Aboard".
With enough alcohol and the right tattoo artist, you could surprize many with your exelent 'wand' work. ;)

I would imagine, much like other fictional worlds where wands are used, the particular material the 'stick' is made of matters as well.
@LunaEpona u mean down periscope.
Also yay new story. Wonder if it will be house path universe or wells universe, or even a new timeline will be next.
I found goldfur on deviantart(chakats), followed him to another site. And then found my way here, following cosmic lotus. Been a fan since. Thought mlp was childish before I read the preview of cosmic lotus on that other site. Within 2 weeks of tracking story here I had an account and admitting to very few I actually enjoy the universe's people have made out of this show.
2years now and I'm still finding hidden gems on this site. And many abandon gems😥. But hunting through them is always fun. Running into old stories I forgot about and forgot to follow the unfinished. Sadly most of those are dead. 3 of them the author is still active so here is to hoping.
Most of the stories I enjoy I see goldfurs comments talking about a point here or there. Seems are taste in stories is roughly the same so it's always interesting when I find one.
Ah, the return of those wooden magic devices (rod, wand, & stave) ...
hale to the golden one, for they bring us great stories
O if this is just a taste of thing to come well wow this is going to be a amazing story.
Theres an awful lot of atomic level complexity in bone, horn, and thats just what theyve scanned down to currently. CPUs have used strained crystal meta structures for years, and those are just for simple gate channels, and not 4 dimentional plus holographic gratings.
Given language and exact builds, Im looking more towards nested polytopes with seperate partials on vertices, edges and faces, and the build is given by the slice through the polytopes with the center as the immediate target, the surrounding being set by the prior to restrict the post, which interact back to more fine tune the current?
Related to resource limited recursion depth bipredicted beysean functions for compact self learning dynamically adaptive neural nets. The other branch of AI research that noone puts money into because its just too effective. Like ray tracing verses rasterised graphics generation. Up to a point, ray tracing takes far more resources to start. Beyond that point, ray tracing has done most of the work that rasterisation then has to catch up on?
Thse guys have a lot of work ahead of them, and lots to learn and discover.
And, uh, yeah. Sorry about the light spell and the city.
Howinhell did I manage to miss this? I must be worse off than I thought...
I'm going to enjoy this, for sure!

This is rune magic though. If rune spells are "statements of reality", they don't need to structurally duplicate unicorn horns or use atomic instructions the way computers do. All you need to do is make a statement that says "this object is a conduit that allows the one holding it to project their magic."
how dare this story ome to an end(already) ???
He should avoid portal diddling and all otherworldly arthropods
