A boring day

For everypony's favorite purple Princess today was looking to be a VERY boring day. Pinkie pie and rainbow dash were at a party, applejack and rarity were working, and Fluttershy was busy taking care of a Manticore who just had a baby. The shelves had been rearranged, cleaned, relabeled, and even painted (all before eight AM). Well when all else fails There's always one friend who's there for Twilight. BOOKS. SO our dear princess grabbed a spellbook and began to read aloud. "lets see Dancing Pineapple Spell, I'll save that one to show pinkie, Pillow cloning spell, juice making spell, life is a musical spell, hmm?" And lo and behold there at the bottom of the page it sat, the cure to Twilights boredom. "Personal Avatar Spirit Spell?" Twilight was highly intrigued "A spell that when cast on an object summons a being representing everyone that had a hoof in the creation of the object. The avatar can be more or less solid depending on the amount of magic used. The Avatar will also know everything related to it's self and it's creation. " Taking a peek at the How to part of the book (and completely skipping over the large WARNING section) Twilight was mildly surprised to see how easy it was, heck she wouldn't be surprised if pumpkin cake could cast it, if it wasn't for the power requirement that is. With the instructions memorized and her magic at the ready twilight took aim, focused her power into a needle point of pure power
and blasted her toaster.

However instead of the boom and bits of twisted materials she was expecting instead her toaster disappeared in a flash of purple magic and a tiny see-through Unicorn appeared. It was about the same size as er toasted and had the same silvery coating as it, it had a two toned main of light pink and purple along with slightly glowing eyes. It looked cute, and there was a sense of familiarity about it, in fact it kinda looked like "Sweetie Belle?"

The Minifigure of weaponizable adorableness turned twards her and began to speak in a slightly squeaky and metallic voice. "Correction. I am Four piece multi-cook burnless toaster Sw-33-t13" After giving her it's...name it looked down at it's self then back at twilight it decided to give her another piece pf information "Statement. I am also Incredibly adorable."

Twilight wasn't called the smartest unicorn in ponyville for nothing (even if that honor now belonged to rarity since she wasn't a unicorn anymore).
"Oh-my-Celestia-it-worked-I-ave-so-much-to-ask-you!'

Oh yeah this was going to be the spell to kill her boredom. Twilight's Horn lit up again and for the next few hours Purple flashes of magic could be seen from the windows of the library.



---two hours later----

Twilight Had learned a few things about her new spell. The effects would stay until she recast the spell on the avatar (something she had learned while trying to make an avatar of her Owl-posts avatar that ended with her getting clobbered in the head) The avatars appearance also seemed to be a mix of the source material and whoever had a hand in it's creation, with it swinging depending on how much the pony contributed (the books looked almost completely like the Authors or main characters while things like her picnic basket looked like the pony version of timberwolves). They also knew A LOT of things The diary of starswirls early years knew everything from advanced temporal anomaly detection spells that it's creator had written in his drafts but lost to how many times he had used the restroom while the book was being made (four thousand three hundred seventy nine million and twenty bathroom breaks). They also seemed to keep whatever abilities they had previously had as sweetie toaster had shown while constructing a house out of toast made through the use of adorably terrifying toaster eye-beams) Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and twilight was running out of both furniture to shoot and magical power to shoot with. A quick estimate put her at around twelve more shots (so about the power of two adult unicorns) before she'd need a nice long nap. Now for the million bit question "what do I have that would be a good learning experience, something interesting and magical?"

a quick look around the room revealed the prospects "book, book, ladle, gemstone, book, Celestia pillow, fluttershy pillow, toast house, book, Friendship crown....CROWN!"

This is a chance to learn all the secrets of the elements AND who made them (something that had caused the canterlot research society to come to blows far more often then one might expect, who knew Fluid Formula was a three time Pony Assault Warrior champion?). With a grin and a pulse of magic the beam impacted the crown.

and did absolutely nothing.

Well that was annoying but Twilight had been halfway expecting it to fail (if it was that easy surely Celestia would have tried it at some point), maybe if she upped the power?

So twilight doubled the power and let the beam fly. Only for it to once again do nothing to the crown except now the failure was also accompanied by the sound of (a rather wet) Flatulence and a particularly bad smell.
With the distinct feeling of being mocked twilight then and there decided no (priceless and irreplaceable) hunk of friendship and metal was going to beat her!

Taking all the magic she had left she formed it into the strongest version of the spell she could manage and hurled it at the crown.
The crown took the blast and started flickering in and out of view before snapping back to a fully solid state and launching the spell out the window.

Then everything exploded into purple as twilight decided this was a good time to pass out from magical exhaustion.
