Ser Fireheart Deathclaw? Was he friends with sir Grimdark Killmurder? That book appearing was unbelievably contrived, especially since it's so easy to give Twilight access to illegal magic like that without being so ridiculous.

Don't talk about Grimdark Killmurder in such a vile tongue, the stallion was a hero to his country and saved Equestria in the ancient Canterlot invasion of year 823!

Ser fireheart deatclaw. Fireheart deathclaw. Fireheart. Warrior cats reference?

2888090 Congrats on seeing the reference.

2887446 I wasn't feeling imaginative when it came to the name. Besides where better to hide a book of dark knowledge than in a place of knowledge?

the restricted section in Canterlot? That's kind of the point of it.

2891283 Yes but this would be the kind of guy with a reputation to uphold. If it was discovered he knew how to control minds he would never be trusted. I would say more but I plan to develop his character later in the fic.

Not trusted? He just goes to Celestia, says, "I have learned of a terrible magic, please put my notes where only qualified people can see them," and it's done with. Why wouldn't anyone trust a magical researcher who did that? As opposed to one who hid the magic in a random library?

2888855 Now today has some meaning!

2891465 You have to factor in two things A) Paranoia that he might be arrested, executed etc. B) This is a different period in time he is from so opinions about dark magic would be different, even more so with Luna's absence and C) This guy isn't a Magic Researcher he didn't mean to discover it and if you wait until I've finished telling his story in the fic It would make sense, I mean your going on what 2 or 3 lines of text written in desperation.

So, instead of hiding it in a secure place, he hides it in a random library?

Yeah, not buying the contrived deus ex machina book. Also not buying the way Twilight so easily decides to just mind rape everyone.

With how OOC that is (even when stressed), it might as well be an OC doing this instead of Twilight.

2899650 I'm probably gonna start really digging into this when a holiday I gave coming up is underway, so larger chapters will be a definite.

2900675 Look I'll say this straight, Will all of you let me just get to the part of the story where I explain him okay. And as for your other comment Twilight thinks that she lost her friends and so is using the spell to get them all back. Also she did just go under an insane amount of mental duress, firstly the mentor who is pretty much her mother chastised her and then her friends who she has placed so much trust in (Eg the Discord Incident) Just turn their back on her and say they don't trust her and Who do they trust instead, someone that they only met for one day and who acted like a complete arse to them. To be honest it does show slight unreal-ism in the canon how easily she gets over that I'm starting to think that Cadences spell that threw the changelings away had more than one purpose.

Why is the prologue the third chapter of the story?
