2111446 Thank you! Receiving comments like this really makes my day.
I'm not sure if I've extended this offer to you or not, but if you come up with any interesting species to add to this world, please tell me. I can hook you up with a link to the species list doc, which includes around 20 pony-based species and a bunch of non-ponies.
I know this an alternate universe fanfic, but keep in mind that incorporating new species puts the author at a disadvantage in front of his audience because sometimes the author can use an excuse that the new character(s) use to ease their way into or out of conflict through ridiculous means or through rather quickly escalated means and sometimes the author won't notice that they did something like this. I am not saying that incorporating new creatures is a bad idea, I'm just saying try to keep the number of creatures to a steady amount. Also, giving creatures REALLY beneficial super powers or special capabilities like fyre could be capable of doing is not a good route to take either for the same reason mentioned above. Do not remove her, just don't make her too OP. (Overpowered)
2112351 Ah, well, not all Blaze-Ponies can do what she can. She's an actual, honest-to-goodness prodigy. Most Blaze-Ponies can't use any magic except their own racial magic, which is pretty much just manipulation of their 'servitors'. The thing where she Awakened the fire was actually pretty much summoning a Fire Elemental, or maybe transforming a small fire into a Fire Elemental, but the whole thing is based on some pretty complicated spellwork that she can only use so well because she's what she is.
Also, she has a pretty severe range of disabilities. Snowballs? Fuckin' lethal to her. Water of the earth or sky? (rivers, ponds, lakes, rain, hail, snow) It'll harm her like throwing chunks of acid at her, to varying degrees based on source.. Ocean water? It's a contact poison, like getting mercury poisoning. She can literally only bath in water that has been brought from a hot spring, or that has been tempered/corrupted from its origin by civilization.
No, the OP races are ones like Enderponies (natural teleporters or supreme ability, whose touch can dissolve organic materials into nothingness) and some others like Magma Slime Ponies. (living magma, naturally sitting at a couple thousand degrees kelvin) Pyrelight is OP as a character, not as a member of her race.
Ooh, and just wait'll someone comes across a Thunderbird, or a Winterwing. Neither are pony races, but both of them are awe-inspiring.
This is very well written. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!

If you'd like, we can move this conversation to PMS, and I can chat about how magics work in this world, and such.
If you're interested, just PM me with the tagline for it as Wishing Star Project Discussion
Anywho, I hope you enjoy more of this, there's still more ahead.
Enderponies? Magma Slimes?2114317, You're mixing Minecraft with this, aren't you?
