This is a fantastic summary. Thank you.
the job
4962446 I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me. Thank you.

Mobilise is correct.
I have left my comment on the attendant blog. Suffice to say, I'm looking forward to more.
Finally, the fucking bastard is finally dead and we are almost done here. Only sad thing is the bitches and the pups might need to be put down if they aren't deemed safe.
4962591
Oh, Bucky burned those. Read that again.
4962601
I thought he only burned the golems... well that sucks. Poor puppies.
So, this is the battle we've been building up to? Kudzu, aside from the wolves, this is not really much of a battle. This was pretty much supposed to be the final boss, but clearly the boss was underpowered or just not prepared enough, because that was too fast >.>
4962538
I've seen that word done both ways.
4962640
Go read the comments in the blog thread. It was intended to be that way.
4962650 I miss everything. Just... ugh.
There were new
So, are they going to preserve his body for the coming funeral?

Bucky and the master of the wolves, being what they were in relation to one another, both made master plans. The master of the wolves never accounted for somepony using brute force and dark magic. He planned ahead for some white knight sort. Somepony who would fight like Celestia's true champion, obeying the laws and the rules. Against somepony like this, the master of the wolves would have been invulnerable.
Bucky overplanned as well, but had a lot of shortcomings. He spent far too much time and effort dealing with details and contingencies. He wasted too many nights burning both ends of the candle. He nearly killed himself trying to think of every possible outcome and a means to counter it.
In short, their planning was almost identical.
Bucky didn't expect for it to be so simple, and the master of the wolves never planned on somepony quite like Bucky coming for him. When they collided, the end result was unavoidable.
It is anti-climatic but, at the same time, makes sense...and, as always, you hinted that it would be that way, in Deadspin talk ´bout the nature of battles (a big ammount of boredom and, then, things explode in fast chaos, something like that).
You put us through the highs, then to through the dows and, in all honesty, i just fell dull at the moment. Please, pretty please, give us some Dina, Piña, Sentinel/Moonbow and a lot of caring wives so we can recover.
No, really, I mean it ! We need rest. Gosh, YOU need rest !
............. feeding on.......... how do you feed on poison? cause you can't be of dark magic and draw in a power that kills dark magic. it would be like dracula drinking holy water and it somehow giving him power.
with the changelings the feed on love not because it is an opposite, but a lacking force inside of them. they need it to empower their magic and likely to live, because it seems something happened that left them as they are. perhaps something of their own making, perhaps not, but they feed on that positive energy. and that said positive energy is not an energy that exists to destroy its opposite. hell hatred is fueled by love, not the opposite of it.
also i have never understood why everyone thinks earth ponies have weak magic. their magici s clearly not weak, simply functions differently to unicorn magic. far as we know an average earth pony has twice the magic inside of them as an average unicorn. actually considering how earth pony magic functions i think that might be the case. does it require more or less energy to nurture the very ground they walk on subconsciously?
......... thinking about tirek right now and am debating if what he did is similar................ thinking that its different though. he took the magical force not the nature of the magic. he took discord power not his abilities exactly.
4962863
It isn't weak magic.
Try to see it from his perspective.
To him, because he sees earth ponies as mud ponies, it would seem like weak magic. See the difference there?
Maaaan, he's either crippled or dead soon. He sure could use a breather and a spare limb or two. That was the weirdest boss battle i've seen in a while. You gathered everyones expectations, tossed'em into a fine fire, danced around the ashes and wrote something original. I love it.
4962874 kinda hard to differentiate ratial slures with facts. many fanfics i have read had it that earth ponies barely have any magic
though it still does not make me able to understand how he can specifically feed on harmony magic and not die. harmony is a supreme balancing force, he is unbalanced, so taking it in is........ well dracula and holy water comparison i think, at least some variant of it. even if it isn't he is unlikely to gain any power from harmony and is more likely to be weakened.
harmony is kinda a supreme balancing force. even if something survives it, even a small amount hurts. though admitably i always think someone on the other side of the extremes is as vulnerable.

Tirek: SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP!
GAK! Harmony magic! **gasp**
I am dead!
4962915 already brought him up dude. he stole the force of magic not its nature. he did not even have discord's abilities.
if we compare his magic to tiwlight's after taking in the power of the other alicorns, their magic is mixed into her own. each blasts has shades of allthe alicorns' might and likely their magical essence too.
4962915 not to mention i think there is a significant difference between a unicorn who is compeltley ursurped by evil and a natural dark entity. tirek is like discord and likely scorpan, just beigns that stand more in the shade than the light. scorpan more than likely had the exact same skill as tirek did. yet he was not beyond the touch of harmony and neither was discord.
not entirely sure what to compare that to though. in most cases you do not have exemptions. you are evil and vulnerable to good stuff whether you became dark or were born dark like those three examples are.
And now he's lost a leg...Dang it, Bucky...you're going to pieces!
4962945
Dark magic can trump other dark magic based on willpower. This was explained in depth, in the story. It all comes down to who has the stronger will.
4962960 and in most cases harmonic magic overpowers dark magic and chaotic magic and reverses the harm it has done. or kills the fuck out of it like the Crystal heart did to sombra............... kinda basing the idea it would be fatal on sombra to be honest. a blsat of white magic was fatal to him rather than weakening or imprisoning him. and that type of magic is what impeded his entrance into the crystal empire completely and could harm him. my guess of why shiing's shield was useless was because sombra's dark magic could be used to dispel the shield. his magic was useless against the barrier that cadance made and could only try to wear the alicorn down.
the weakness of harmonic magic is the difficulty of taping into its true power. once that true power is unleashed, well, not a single dark being in the show has ever managed to stand up to it or even hold it back.
4962959
Eh. Legs are easy enough to replace.

**SNERK**
**Falls under desk and dies**
4962960 i knew already that with dark magic, likely with normal magic too, will power can trump the enemy. was not questioning his victory. saying that it seems unlikely that the evil killing force that exists in theri world is something someone who is inbalanced and evil could feed on....... i can take that he could feed on pony magic, but specificalyl take away harmony and feed on it seems unlikely to me.
throughout the series there is a theme of balance to it all. celestia is a being of light yet luna is indeed a being of shadows for example yet both could use the power of harmony. evil seems to be what disrupt harmony and hurts and takes advantage of others and, likely, could manifest in either a being of light or darkness. instead of making luna a being of light the elements returned her to her normal darkly state.
The Buckmeister is as good as dead.
Rest in peace, buddy.
4962960 .......... or is he not literally meaning harmony when he is talking there?
4963025
Not sure what you mean.
4963041 guess i do not either. either way, if we are talking about the same force that took down tirek and discord and nightmare moon here, it seems unlikely that could be used to fuel dark magic.
4963003 I think I'll join you!
4963077
Absorb it as raw energy and repurpose it.
Energy is energy if you can harness it.
4963093 then it wouldn't be harmony energy if its hcaracteristics were not taken in. least that is how i would imagine it.
4963098
Sure it could be. You can turn radio waves into electricity and vice versa. If harmony magic couldn't be restored to its base state, it would not be very harmonious.
4963117 perhaps. but the problem is how do you do it with a force that it naturally repels and or destroys?
How did I miss this chapter...?
Good thing I read the previous chapter after every update!
So... That's it?
Gotta say, the fight may have been a little too short. Maybe.
4964512 A real fight takes about four seconds between two unequally matched opponents. That's all you need to kill somebody. ~ Jericho.
What a fight, four seconds haha!
The ghouly lasted longer than I expected. :P
Nice job!

That's what a smart fighter does. They learn, they find a solution, and once they finally start to fight they use what they learned to win. It also helps that the dead thing had a major weakness that he almost broadcasted.
I am so behind, my comments probably look retarded to the ones farther ahead.
I can't be the only one who skipped the whole isle arc part......right?
