Have you ever wondered how the story of Equestria that you know might change if Fluttershy was a swordsmith?
How would things be different if Rarity had a Stand?
What about if someone gave Applejack a culinary degree, a space-worthy exosuit, and a phoenix-core wand?
What if all of these happened in the same story?

If you have, dear reader, then welcome to the Celestial Forge! Where every thousand words, random chance bestows one of your favorite ponies with a new outlandish (and often copyright-infringing) power!

Spiders and Magic: Rise of Spider-Mane

In a world with normal, everyday ponies, chaos is breaking out as more and more ponies are mutated into chimeras. Twilight Sparkle, a scientist and college student, and her new college friends gather together, becoming superheroes, while also trying to find a cure and stop whoever is mutating ponies. Meanwhile, one of her friends, Fluttershy, befriends a gangster, not knowing his part in all of this...

Twilight did her duty. She saved everypony she could, except herself. Now trapped by an evil cult, in more pain than she has even been in before, and dying on a sacrificial altar, she calls for help. The Nightmare answers.

Will Twilight become the next evil to threaten the world or will the Nightmare simply be glad to have some freedom? One thing is for certain, Twilight's life will never be the same again.
