"We must have overlooked something about the spell."
"Didn't it need a materialistic medium?"
"An amulet! Of course!"
Starlight and Twilight ran back into the castle's library. Scanning the tall organized bookshelves, they found a book of amulets that might help them save the world.
"The Unabridged History of Amulets, this could be helpful." Twilight flipped through the book of amulets, quickly scanning each page. It took a bit longer than expected to find the spell, but they did the best they could with fading vision. "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 while reading:
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, "This is exactly what we need! We just need to combine this and the spell we learned and everything will be saved!"
No response from Starlight was given. Twilight turned her head to discover Starlight unconscious on the scolding floor.
"Ah! No!" Twilight jumped up from the book and cradled Starlight. She struggled to catch her breath after the quick movement. It was exceptionally red and too hot in the castle, it was practically an oven more than a building now. The thermometer Starlight had was maxed out at two hundred ten degrees.
"Starlight, we—" she couldn't get any more words out. Her vision was doubled, and it was only getting worse.
"No . . ." Twilight murmured to herself before joining Starlight on the floor.
As her lights went out, so did the planet's.
