"It says it needs a materialistic medium . . . an amulet?"

"An amulet!"

"I know exactly where that book is. I used to read that for fun years ago. Let's look at the Unabridged History of Amulets together, you can read Pony Latin hoofwriting better than I can."

Twilight flipped through the book of amulets, quickly scanning each page. "There it is!" she said excitedly, finding the section covering solar amulets. "Brightness . . . no, that won't help. Resistance . . . ugh, not that either. That is too small of a scale as well. Temperature . . . but the sun is also expanding, so this won't do. This is also too small a scale. Ah hah!" Twilight shouted excitedly, finding something of interest. "Protection!"

Starlight translated the text from Pony Latin:





The Solar Amulet of Protective Amplification

A sketch of the amulet as described by Princess Celestia. Circa Celestial epoch 613.

This amulet boosts the power and scale of any protective spell that requires a physical medium and directs it at the sun. First created six-hundred-thirteen years after Princess Celestia's reign began. It existed for just a few minutes before bursting into flames and diminishing into mere embers upon use.

The Princess and Wizard of Canterlot attempted to recreate the amulet after its destruction but found no success. The joined pieces simply fell apart after assembly.

The Solar Amulet of Protective Amplification can only be crafted by a minimum of two magic-wielding entities. One or more must enchant the amulet with a chosen spell while one or more keep it stable during enchantment. Inferno Crystals, Gold, and Ruby are required to forge this amulet.





Twilight thought aloud, "Circa 613? That was also 500 years ago. I bet this amulet was used to suppress the advancing sun with the exact spell we found earlier."

"That is how it must have been stopped last time," Starlight assessed.

"Right before you came in, I read that the sun did this exact same thing 500 years ago. Right when this amulet was invented. It took the sun weeks to get where it is now, and it has only been a few hours."

"I'm guessing we don't have the same luxury of time as they did back then."

"Yeah, I don't think we do either." . . . If only we had more time...
