It had been an idle question on Spike's part, barely an idea at all.
"How did the mirror pool work, anyway?"
Twilight had found it unacceptable that she didn't have an answer so she rolled the boulder from the cave, and got to sciencing. She found that the pool cloned whatever was placed in it in exchange for a bit of organic material, then gave it a jolt of extra energy. A strong enough jolt to raise the dead, and the cloning process wasn't picky about what it started with.
It's been a few months now, the hubbub and hullabaloo has died down, and the ponies of Ponyville use her technology extensively, particularly the cutie mark crusaders.

Interesting, but needs copyediting.

I wasn't satisfied with it, but I've started and abandoned enough stories that I was desperate to finish something.
That was a interesting story and idea.
well, certainly not what one expects as a reaction!
interesting. a portal to the EqG world? would explain the computer equipment
heh, that is a good line
really makes you think why Apple Bloom didn’t get a cutie mark related to potions like she clearly was supposed to
aww, fun to think of the rabbits as speaking a distinct language that Fluttershy learned instead of it just being a vague magic thing
that does sound like it would lead to Apple Bloom knocking down Isaac Appleton again
good Zecora rhyming!
yay Rarity’s in this!
aww, what a lovely slice of life experience for Applejack to treasure
ah yeah the mirror pool! i figured that would be part of this technology somehow!
and oof. powerful line!
a lot of really great ideas and beautiful moments here. thank you for writing!
