Correct. They reside in the employ of the Dawn Mistress. Who oversees the Court of Miracles?

1389536
Lady Everstar

1389516
What is the Sunguard?

1389542
Celestia's Paladins. Another group of zealots.

1389542
Celestia's best paladins, came about because of a bet with Lady Everstar.

1389546
And, since we've covered major groups in three courts, can you tell me about Luna's Court?

1389561
And what were the terms of that bet?

1389563
Luna's court would have the most Mentalists. Perhaps there are a few backstabbers or spies among spies, but at least you can always trust not to trust anypony.

1389563
It would probably be a court of some of the most accomplished mentalists one could find. This is determined through a tournament.

1389574
Which brings us back to the purpose of all this, to reinforce that Mentalists are dangerous. Really, really dangerous. Mages can be the most destructive, but Mentalists are easily the most potentially dangerous.

1389580
The very same Lucantur that was practiced in Equestria before the Evening Rebellion.

1389567
That 101 of Lady Everstar's best mages could beat easily the best of Celestia's best paladins. Lady Everstar herself was the 101st Mage and didn't take part as her mages demolished the opposing paladins. Lady Everstar won bragging rights and one favor no questions asked from Celestia.

1389582
I can't even imagine what a powerful, knowledgeable one could do, especially since it is entirely possible to have encountered one and not remember it. But the inexperienced ones are worse.

Outstanding. You've all got your knowledge of the classes down very well. Can anyone tell me the difference between magic in use now and the magic used in the Zenith Era?

1389641
Magic used in the Zenith Era was more restricted due to the binding of the elements. Magic in use now is not as restricted due to binding but instead by rules of use.

1389641
It's uhhhh less refined?

1389641
In the Zenith Era, Binding magic kind of dominated and not many in Equestria were entirely aware of Breaking magic. However, the distinctions of the magical cross that we know today didn't exist and all ponies just took magic as one big thing.

1389613
Generally true.

1389658
1389660
You are both correct. Because of the effect had on the world by the Avatar of Chaos, as well as the general diminishing of power in respect to Binding Magic, magic today is able to be used far more offensively. It runs wild and unchained.

Now, we'll bring class to an end for tonight. Your homework is an essay comparing magic in the present day and the Zenith Era, as well as your thoughts on this change. Is it for better or for worse? Is it preferable to have magic as strong as it is, or more restrained, and why?

And be ready for class on Wednesday.

Questions?

1389740
When will the essay be due and how long would you like it?

1389755
Wednesday. Over one thousand words, less than three unless you feel that the cutoff is too limiting. Be detailed in your thoughts.

I think with that I'll call it a night then. See ya Wednesday.

See ya!
