She's looking at you. Yes you. And she is judging you with her eyes. There is no escape.
So... let's see who is paying attention.
What type of unicorn is Mignon Croix? Just a guess... let's see who can figure it out.
Why didn't Magnolia Warbler die from exposure in the bitterly cold air of the night?
Any guesses?

Chase? Chase?
...who the fuck are these characters?
2549741
They exist in the Chase-Verse.
A: Type 2, probably borderline type 3.
Edited out my B answer cause I didn't read it right...
2549744 Oh... now I see the tagged story. Haven't read it yet.
2549747
B doesn't make sense.
The second question is about Magnolia Warbler. Why wasn't she dead before Mignon found her?
2549746
Why a type one?
Pegasi are resistant to the elements... they have to fly awfully high, after all.
Type as in the level? He's a 1, probably. He specifically says he has paltry magic power, and the ponies that have to worry about that are probably 1's.
2549748
Why not? Go mang! Go!
2549753
Like I said, I didn't read it correctly. I'm guessing it was because her improvised shelter blocked a good chunk of the bitter winds, then she was rescued by Mignon and was kept relatively safe in his magic barrier, followed up by a warm bath.
For the first question, i would say he is a type II at most. Little things like the feeble bubble of protection, something he was strugling to keep up with, is what give me the feeling he is that. Only if that kind of protection was his CM i may call him a type I.
And for the second question, i think it is because pegasi are adapted to cold weather when they are flying, so they are more resilient no cold.
2549759 Trying to write for one of my own 10 incomplete fics.
2549764
The fact that he knew multiple spells and did multiple things at once with his telekinesis is a clue, type ones fail the peanut butter test and only know at most a few minor spells.
Think about how he lifted Magnolia and his cloak at the same time...
2549758
I get the feeling 2s are "average" unicorns. 1s are unusually weak, and 3s are amazing in a normal way. 4s and 5s are off the charts crazy.
In addition to his description of paltry magical power, he also seems... not neurotic? He's antisocial, apparently, but not crazy so, like maladjusted high types, and if he were antisocial and a high type he would be in a much worse position, stability wise, probably. I'm not sure if I really have enough evidence to be making this claim solidly, though.
Hmmmm...I'd have to say a low functioning type 3 or a gifted type 2 unicorn-given how he was able to preform more than simplistic magic, if you are asking for classification guesses... As for why Magnolia didn't freeze...? That actually has me a bit baffled. My first thought was that Bucky somehow managed to alter the winter a bit more selectively than "FREEZE EVERYTHING", but that is a bit ludicrous...
Other than Pegasus magic, I honestly can't thing of any truly logical conclusions...
2549782
What's the temperature like in the upper level atmosphere?
What is a unique attribute to pegasus milk?
Oh. Hum... I totally missed that he cast cantrips... even with paltry power 1 might not be a thing... unless his cutie mark is related to winter survival or something. Shields, warm air, hoof-sticking spells... what could be a cutie mark that indicates those? Hauling is his job... inclement weather hauling?
I don't see any indication as to what his mark is. I don't know the cantrippability of 1's and 2's... I forgot the lines of simple spell versatility. Could someone with low power have a fairly broad magical talent, and still be a 1 or 2?
So, in conclusion. I don't know anymore!
2549783 Ha! so Pegasus magic was kinda sorta right!
Pegasi are naturally resistant to low temperatures, being as they have adapted to fly at high altitudes for extended periods of time.
2549801
Cantrips are minor magic that even type ones can cast easily.
The important indicator here is that he can do multiple things with his telekinesis. Type ones cannot do multiple things with their telekinesis.
Enough has been said already that it is a matter of echoes.
Magnolia being pegasi, is capable of withstanding frigid high altitude atmosphere. Pegasi milk is like antifreeze and it stands to reason their blood would be similarly capable. And if the blood is still pumping, slowed but functioning organs seems reasonable. Perhaps the thought that a pegasus operating really high would still function enough to at least glide back to warmer altitudes.
Mignon gives me the impression of a modest type II, possibly lower half of the scale, as he gives himself a modest boost to cart pulling, is lacking overt neuroses I could see, and while obviously multi-casting, nothing is exactly a heavy hitter spell. It escapes me right now how Rising Star and Sparkler compared prior to their being boosted to type III. By memory, at least the contrast of relatively balanced social interaction seems a reasonable comparison.
2549808
So the Blink spell could count as a cantrip?
2549812
2549783
Don't forget the pegasus semen.
2549808
He is a Type 3 isn't he? Just untrained/untapped. Also, he appears to be resistant to the cold. Below zero is serious business.
Not sure about Magnolia yet...
EDIT: I say Type 3 because he keeps warm in below-zero conditions, perhaps subconcious warming spell? That would burn magic. Also the cart-pulling helps keep his mind engaged so there is less room for neurosis.
Maybe he's a fire elemental who can keep warm in cold climates?
He seems too busy to be neurotic.
2549835 I'm not touching that sludge.
2549856
What? It doesn't freeze. Was mentioned in The Catch.
edit: ok, made a quick re-read
what we know about him:
he thinks he has little magic
his primary magical use day to day is making wagon loads lighter
he can create a shield capable of protecting him from snow and light hail
(this may of course not be his forte but we have to make assumptions somewhere)
he can lift several objects at once with his telekinesis so we can assume he is a type two
what we know about her:
resilient and strong willed if a bit short-sighted (it takes bravery to abandon the only refuge of safety you know)
damn well resistant to cold. im gonna put that under her being a pegasus. kudz has told us that pegasi first lived high up in the mountains and them mountain tops be cold.
maybe she has some special affinity to cold and ice too but if so then that is something we haven't seen before i think.
2549753
Because it would have ruined the story?
:)
Or at least made it a lot darker.
Blah Blah - antifreeze blah.
A more interesting question to me is that pegusai may also have adaptions to low oxygen - perhaps they can even generate it with their magic.
Could this, and the cold tolerance let them go into an extreme hibernation when nearly frozen?
Which has been forgotten other than as myth, because actually starving pegusai left to freeze haven't been seen in Equestria for several hundred years.
2549847 are you kidding me? below zero is serious business? for a furred creature that also wear clothes? humans can survive in -40 C (after that the moisture in your lungs starts to freeze) and it takes the Russian tundra to reach that point. winters in northern Europe (at least in sweden where i live) often see winter days with -15 C or under.
2549868 You missed the double meaning.
do not remember that first guy. but the second one likely has to do with elemental factors. if one is of a certain element they range from resistant to immune.
2549887
As I do most of the time.
Comes with being an asexual non-native speaker.
2549897 It happens. You should've seen what happened when I was trying to communicate in russian.
Made
2549913
Same with me trying to explain 'anticoagulant' in pantomime because I didn't speak - was it Turkish or Croatian? - and they didn't speak German or English.
2549886 Well, yes. You can drown in a tablespoon of water, and without proper insulation, people can die in below-zero temperatures. While I see your point, we're not talking about humans here, we are discussing ponies, one in particular who needed a cloak and a heat-spell to stay warm. And he was STILL chilly.
(I live in northern New England, so I can relate to cold weather)
On the topic of horses and clothing.

Because horses don't come in purple.

They even do custom ones, so you can get it printed up like your favourite pony, cutie mark and all.
2550001 sorry for sounding pissy earlier. i should not be in a comment section when im tired
2550058 No worries man.
Winter weather is nothing to sneeze at. 
2550066 that's a shit pun Johnathan
2550221 I see what you did there...
What's even funnier is that my name isn't Johnathan.
It wasn't until your comment that I saw the connection between both halves of my username here.
Genius points for me.
2549894
Have you read The Chance? If not, it is impossible for you to remember either character.
2550249 did i at least get the elemental thing right?
2550259
Yes!
It is exceptionally difficult to freeze a pegasus. It takes powerful unnatural cold to make them succumb. Like Bucky used in defence of Dinky on the day of the want it need it spell and he used ice attacks to slow down the pegasi.
2550262 shrugs. does it vary? like a pegasus like rainbow dash having far superior resistance compared to flash sentry or thunderlane? like how magic skill varies between unicorns?
2550322
it varies by conditioning. If a pegasus spends a lot of time in the cold, they will be more cold resistant. If they live in the tropics and never leave the ground, the cold will sting more.
2550325 so their ability to manipualte weather has nothing to do with it?
2550342
It has a small part of it, but like anything else, they adapt to their environment.
2550350 that is something i have a hard time pinning down in your story. ultimately all three pony types are magical creatures. however the only ones that show a distinct difference in power is the unicorns. twilight and bucky could easily take on creatures like changeling queens and, presumably, the lunar pegasi. however the attributes of the other pony types seem to be disregarded even though they are magically fueled.
and even in yoru story, i couldn't call ti subtle magic either. actively manipulating air and cloud to create weather, using strength well beyond the limits of the body, it seems that they all have power that can be directed. perhaps not to generate spells but power that can be used both as a tool, and as a weapon.
that is kinda why i was wondering about the whole lunar pegasus thing and earth ponies. if a unicorn can magically generate energy enough to kill a lunar pegasus, why couldn't an earth pony, if a rare one, manifest enough physical force and endurance to match one?
2550450
Because life isn't fair. Really. That is what it boils down to. The earth ponies were kept as slaves by both unicorns and pegasi. Life sucks. Life is getting somewhat better and old wrongs are being corrected, but LIFE SUCKS.
And earth ponies know this more than anypony. Which is why they cheered Berry Punch as their hero.
2550461 its has nothing to do with fairness dude. it has to do with capacity. and i have seen more evidence tht earth ponies have capacity for great power........
maud pie can go anime on stones, applejack likely could also yet more so can uproot trees at a whim. they have displayed prowess well beyond other earth ponies, and more so prowess that could be outright lethal.
if earth ponies cannot psosibly have the same potential of prowess as pegasi and unicorns, then how come we have ponies that have power far beyond their own kin?
2550517
They are the exception, rather than the rule. Yes, there are a few very powerful earth ponies, like Crush.
It is a bit like unicorns. We have mostly type ones, a few type twos, some rare type threes, the rare type four, and that's it.
Earth ponies like Pina, Pinkie, and Maud are powerful because they have a working thaumaturgical system, which actually makes them more like unicorns. They are the type two and type threes of the earth pony world. The rare exceptions that have extraordinary power.
There are pegasi like this as well. Pegasi like Rainbow Dash and a number of the Wonderbolts. But this hasn't been revealed yet. So SPOILERS! Too late. Whoops.
2550527 and yet it is only the unicorns able to fight dark creatures, even ones whose primary direct combat abilities is strength, and you seemed to emphasize a lack of type 4 equvalents. even applejack who............. actually she was raised exactly next to a eldritch forest and has worked with everfree born trees all her life. the zap apples were rooted there long before the rest of the apple trees.........
the only other tree that has a strange elemental addage to them, that i know of, is that fire tree, and it is a fey......
with rainbow dash and that, it was kinda obvious.
