"That should do the trick.  Now Wind, I want you to... Wind?"

The maple abyssinian lifts up from his workbench and spots the summer-lime pegasus staring out the window.  The feline nibbles on the wheatgrass in his mouth as he picks up an iron nut and flicks it at the daydreaming stallion to knock him back to reality.

Wind snaps his sight back to the cat, "Sorry, Uncle Cider.  Just.... thinking."

Cider felt a heavy weight as he looks at Wind's missing left wing.  "Well... perhaps this can help you focus."  Cider carries and fasten a metallic wing on the young pony.

Wind flaps the metal attachment, adjusting to the false limb.

"It's not much, and it can't help you get airborne, but ol' Cider constructed something special." Cider presses a button on the wing and a journal forms into existence within the wing's grip, "It'll be useful, Second Wind."
