"Every creature welcome to the Magical Mystery Challenge!" Trixie announced to every creature, "Today's challenge goes to Starlight and how many spells she can perform in a minute!"
"The rules are simple," Tempest explained, "She must do as many spells as she can in a minute! She must also name each spell as she performs them. Starlight, are you ready?"
"Ready as I can ever be," Starlight said, lighting her horn up to prepare herself. Sunset counted her down. She rose her hoof to give the signal
"On your marks. Get set. GO!" Sunset waved her hoof down and Starlight began her challenge. First she levitated the fruit bowl over.
"Levitation," Starlight announced, then turned the bowl into a teacup, "Transfiguration!"
"Hey! Teacups are my thing," Trixie shouted back, receiving a small wink from Starlight, "And winking is too."
Starlight teleported to the end of the studio room declaring, "Teleportation." She then shot a laser, then teleported back to the other side to block it with a shield saying a laser and protection spell. she did a speed spell, a duplication spell, camera spell and a copying spell.
By now, her magical reserves were running low and she was sweating. However, it was too late. Sunset counted down to zero.
"Not bad, with nine spells in a minute. That's a good starting point, considering how one's magical reserves goes down with each spell and complexity," Sunset pondered. Starlight sat back down and drank a refreshing glass of water.
"To those who are unicorns and want to pursue magic into further studies, what would you say to them?" Tempest interviewed Starlight, who smiled at the question.
"You can study magic all you want, but studying can only go so far. Success is nothing if you have no one there to celebrate them with. I turned down my success and harmed those who were close due to my misguiding thoughts. Magic is powerful and mystery, but nothing is more stronger than the magic of friendship, with help from Twilight and her friends of course," Starlight explained with fond remembrance of her lessons.
"Any magical mishaps?" Sunset giggled.
"Plenty, due to thinking of foolish shortcuts or not getting the point," She smiled at Trixie, "Bottling all my anger is one example of a shortcut gone wrong. Not missing the point would be casting a spell on my friends just to get some friendship lessons done."
"I would say that was a bad shortcut and not missing the point at the same time," Tempest quipped, causing Starlight to blush and Trixie to chuckle.
"Magic has its limits as well. Friendship goes beyond that limit. Is that right Trixie?" Starlight turned to her friend.
"Boasting kind of got me in the end. Not even my magic can compete up to Twilight with the Ursa Minor, but it showed me that I have had a lot to learn. Also, using a bad artefact to get what I want comes at a price as well. Being great and powerful with friends by your side is something that is truly important," Trixie told her tale.
"And that magic doesn't mean anything unless there are friends to show you the right way. As Twilight said to me, you can seek it out or be forever alone," Sunset mused.
"We all had great friends to get us off of the darkest path," Tempest concluded, "We are all grateful to our friends who helped lift us higher. Thank you for listening today, and remember, there is no magic like the magic of friendship, because it is something every creature has."
