Politics? Sounds like fun.

So between changeling healing and other abilities they may come with and what Chryssy can add, Bucky's spiders being able to make basic furniture for those settling in far away areas and/or rebuilding, and Lyra's perpetual generators, lots of ponies may find themselves out of work or their work being threatened.
Well something has to sustain that echo of 'old dead heroes' here.
And yet again though anticlimax and a force made just outright inferior to dark magic for some reason.
6835101
Change is dangerous, yo.
I vote for more Tourmaline! She needs more 'screen time'.
Hmmm... so hearths fire is like the regret of hero's who have died. But channeled and focused on aiding young ponies and preventing the same fate be falling them...
It must be tied with the collective herd concept. All ponies are connected by anow instinctual psychic link, that link connects ponies with their ancestors, hearths fire must be a manifestation of theses phenomena. That's why having a griffon join the link is special because it means she has been linked with the herd.
6835143
CORRECT!
6835122
Agreed! More cuddlebug!
6835122
I vote Chrysalis gives up all of her collective knowledge and power and control of the changelings to Tourmaline. ALL HAIL QUEEN TOURMALINE!
Note I absolutely adore Chryssy and would be sad if this happened, but Tourmaline is someone who would make things much easier and all involved. HA! It's strange. I used to hate the bugs because they were bugs, but now I love them. I blame artists like Vavacung for making them adorable.
6835159
No all will bow before the fearsome might of Queen Dinky the Hag slayer.
6835165
6835159
Well, in the future, Tourmaline and Dinky end up together. Dinky has a way with bugs. And Tourmaline has a way with psychics.
6835181
ALL HAIL QUEEN DINKY AND QUEEN TOURMALINE!
6835150
Forgive me, but I get confuzzled...
Belisama = Bucky's birdy-bride
Boadicea = Sentinel's future birdy-bride
Yes?
6835207
Correct.
I saw this story and was about to start it...
Then that number showed up...
over 2000000 words...
WELP! STEVEN, GRAB MY SNUGGIE! WE HAVE SOME READING TO DO!
6835400
Have fun. The word count will likely have increased by another couple hundred thousand by the time you catch up. It is worth it though.
Sentinel clearly wasn't completely all there.... The poor uptight little guy would be mortified if he found out he said the best part was the good looking nurses. I'm sure the girls would be flattered but that's just not something Sentinel would normally say.
What Chrysalis really needs then, is a reason to live. I wonder if simply having normal changeling drones that haven't been subject to lobotomies, and love her for her simply being their mother would do it.. or if it'll need to be something else.
I wonder if Celestia is disappointed by what Hearthfire is.
Also we need to see more Rainbow Dash. It's been a while since we saw her.
So...Chrysalis needs direction, something to live for. I wonder if her killing her own son might be the root of what she has become.
This right here made me spew my drink laughing. All that work that Celestia put into trying to harness it, all the hopes and dreams she had of it, and its something so simple, that it just blew her mind. That is epic.
6835122 I agree whole heartedly

Dark magic is more powerful, but it corrupts. It has a notable drawback to balance its strength. The others only have minor drawbacks at most, but aren't as strong.
6835208 Something that has been bugging me for some time now. How do you pronounce boadicea?
6835662 not really. the only disadvantages to dark magic is that you lose yourself. but there are few consequences that can caue actual self destruction.
more so its only dark magic that is capable of countering dark magic as well.
put simply the non evil magics have absolutely nothing to work with in a fight. zero, zip, and nata.
6835681
Google it? I have no means to say it to you.
6835784
That has proven true so far. If only dark magic can truly hard-counter dark magic (minding its vulnerability to light magics), then there's a reason why warlocks are hunted down religiously - no one can really DO anything to them once they get rolling. Nip 'em in the bud, catch them unawares. Harmony magic seems pointless against them so far except, I imagine, in overwhelming quantities, or on an individual scale applied in a very clever fashion.
6835681
My head-voice just says her name is Bodaciea, a la bodacious. Clearly wrong, but that's about the pronunciation I use.
6835971
For most warlocks, the Taint kills them.
6835784
Well, not entirely true. Elemental magic can be destructive as nature at its strongest. Dark magic has a faster go-to when getting power, but it has other issues too. Necromancy causes reality tearing that lets nasty demons out, and regular dark magic alters your perceptions of right and wrong, and often in an entirely nonmagical way, just by training the user to seek the easiest method, not necessarily the right one.
6836035 If you remember the first major threat bucky took down was a necromancer who, somehow, created a crystal that would basically EAT harmony. meaning somehow dark magic can counteract even the elements of harmony.
6836140
No, it ate the harmony out of an area over an extended period of time, increasing its power and pull strength over time. It could've been overpowered when it was brand new, but it had been given untold decades to grow strong.
6836322 it was said in the story it would have defeated the elements of harmony even.
Ah ha! So Hearthfire is basically positively charged necromancy!
It requires sacrifice. Ponies usually have to die. You must unknowignly make deals with unknown powers for the greater good.
And it helps if you're stupid. Very, very stupid. But stupid to the benefit of all, not just the self.
Where as one is a pact with demons, this is a pact with heroes past or as close to the angel corollary we're likely to get in this pantheon.
6836377
At that point yeah
6836629 Ok, let´s try to resume it.
Necromantic magic: allow the use of far greater magic then the user could do by himself, but open dimension rifts that allow demons (and other dark beings) to invade the plane...and if the being used to perform such magic seems fit, it just eats your soul.
Harmony magic: have some limits (as it was already noted in the healing limits of harmony magic) and demands a lot of training and self-sacrifice in order to reach high levels of power.
Dark magic: now, here the thing. Dark magic is harmony magic but, instead of focused by positive feelings, it is focused by hate and rage. It demands, too, training, study and effort, just like harmony magic. By all means there is no indication, so far, that it is more powerfull then harmony magic. So, how it can defeat the elements of harmony ? As it was stated over and over, this kind of fight, harmony versus dark, is a battle of wills. The one with more will (or more preparation, or more time to charge...and so on) would win. So the crystal lich woundn´t defeat the elements due to being naturally powerfull, but ´cause he had more time to prepare and charge his power. In the beggining harmony could defeat him, but, at that point, he was too prepared to fight harmony. So the advantage of dark magic is that, usually, the ones that uses it are more driven, are more focused to fight. So it´s not a matter of more powerfull magic, but more prepaed beings. Also, dark magic warps the user, booth body and soul, thus, in greater levels, not only it induce madness but, also, leads to body decay and death...
6831273 it is certain actions which are evil, not the tools or resources available.
6836955
Dark magic also has the downside of being addictive the way any habit of doing the easy thing instead of the right thing can be.
It's easier because its easier to hold on to hate and murderous intent when isolated, and unicorns spent the last thousand plus years vigorously engineering their social norms to promote isolationism in individuals, making dark magic easier for the supermajority to access.
Hehehe good looking nurses...
6835537
6835150
I know right?
Here we are expecting it to be some magnificent trump card in the war against war, but lo and behold...
It's basically a library of XP books:
How to Not Die by Tough Ground +5 Constitution
So You Need to Buy Time to Escape But All You Can Do is Hit Things by Pulp Smasher +3 Strength, +10% Critical Chance
Flank the Bastard in Three Easy Steps! by Clever Step +3 Dexterity, 5% chance to dodge
Mana and You: A Guide to Making Stuff do Things by Sir Nebulae the Magnificent +5 Magic, +50% Mana Regeneration
and so on...
6837626
And now:
RAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! SCARY! Sombra. +5 more brickshitting.
6837626 Hey those can be worth their weight in gold. Also you have a wonderful knack for book names. So now these are books in my headcannon of the mlp universe.
6835925
6835681
I agree with him. Kudz, like this
Is it Bod-i-ca, Boad-i-ca, bod-i-key-a, or boad-i-key-a
6838183
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudica
6838243 that would work, if it mentioned how to say the name.
6835681
6838243
I found a video, it is boo-duh-ka
6838261
Bucky secretly calls her "Boody."
6837641
ZAP! WANT COOKIE! by Harper Bitters gain "ZAP" spell, inflicts shock damage with a 5% chance of paralysis
1001 Cakes and Where to Eat Them by Spiciest Cleaners gain "Cake Sense"
Writing Stories for Multiple Audiences by Tau Sunflare gain "Enormous Fanbase"
Bonus points to whoever gets the last two authors.
Well they say knowledge is power....and you always see heroes in anime getting a similar treatment...never underestimate dead people, they had to die for a reason.
Heroes get a mystic pool of energy from across the eons of time for help, and good looking nurses
6835681 Bo (as in bo staff)-dee-she-a (rhymes with uh, as in uh um...)

Tau Sunflare wouldn't happen to be the fandom's name for the Creator Deity?
