//------------------------------// // Twilight's magic did the opposite of what she expected it to do? // Story: What If... // by TheMajorTechie //------------------------------// Twilight's magic ceased to exist, because existing is what she would expect it to do, and so naturally, in a world where her magic did the opposite, it would cease to exist. However, in such a world where her expectations are reversed, would it make sense for her expectation to be that it ceases to exist, then? And if so, does that mean that it does in fact exist? But then if you apply that to our own plane of existence, that would mean that the very meaning of existing could very well be the opposite of what we know it to be, so by that logic, if Twilight exists, then does she not exist? Or vice-versa; if Twilight does not exist, then does this flipped definition of existence mean that she actually does exist? We may never know, for when the mare casts a spell, her magic will cease to exist, because existing is what she would expect it to do, and so naturally, in a world where her magic did the opposite, it would cease to exist.
