Flywheel was on the outskirts of Ponyville, eager to meet Princess Twilight. Contrary to what one may believe, the unicorn wasn't anxious about this meeting. In fact, he couldn't wait any longer.

He was, however, even more so excited about the reason for the meeting. He had made a magical breakthrough. He just needed to show her. 

This was it.  The library stood before him, and he knocked. Just then, a small, purple and green dragon answered the door.

"Hello. Who are you?"

"The names Flywheel, and I'm here to see Twilight."

"Okay, wait for a few seconds"

The door closed, but was opened once more by a striking lavender mare.

"Hello, I'm Twilight Sparkle, but just Twilight is fine. Come in."

"Thanks, I'm Flywheel. I don't mean to be rude, but let's get down to it. Have anything to write with?"

"Always! Need a quill, pencil, ma-"

"Chalk"

"Okay"

The chalk levitated over to Flywheel, and he took it from Twilight's grasp to his blue one. Then, he drew an intricate circle on the ground, with many symbols and runes Twilight did not recognize.

"What are you doing?"

"Wait. Give me a bit of material. Anything will do."

"How's this?"

She levitated a chunk of melted wax to him.

"Great"

He placed it on the circle, then put his hooves on the edge of the shape. Then it glowed, and then the wax started to shift. When the light faded, there was a candle in the wax's place.

"There"

Twilight was intrigued.

"What was that? I've never seen anything like it!"

"That was an extension of my unicorn magic into the circle. The circle acts as a medium for the magic to exist in, somewhat like an aura, but with a physical form. But that's not all. Though slightly more limited, the inherent magic of Equestria, and ponies themselves, be it earth, pegasus, unicorn, or, in theory, anything, can harness magic. Anypony can."

Twilight stood there, in awe at the possibilities.

"The implications of this are.. are.."

"Tremendous?"

"Yes! This is revolution on the way society works! I'll write Celestia right away!"

"Wonderful. Now, if you'll excuse me, I believe somepony is at your door."

"Wait you can stay, I'll let them in."

When she opened the door, Flywheel, who was usually fairly composed, was taken by surprise and the Pegasus who walked in.

"Are you Twilight? My pet's got a magic ailment, and Fluttershy recommended you."
