To be entirely fair, I've seen Norse in fiction (Does Vikings or AC: Valhalla count?) sear by Odin's balls before.
Too late.

Shame it only requires for Lucna to mess her mind state even more
Welp at least she starts to make all those stereotypes about horny unicorns proud
This is such a good story

Maybe? I feel like AC does their due diligence when it comes to the cultural aspect of their games... But I'll admit I don't keep up with drama around them.

Too late? What's too late?
..This better not end up as some sort of "deez nuts" joke.

That's my secret my little Pony... I'm always horny.

Oh thank you so much! It really makes my day hearing this sentiment!
I've been choosing not to comment until I'm caught up, but I will leave one here.
Your understanding of quantum physics is basic, as you stated, and its effect on magic matches my own theories and ideas from a while back. However, I will have to say the obligitory "Um, akchualy" that's not how quantum uncertainty works. Not exactly, at least.
The double slit experiment works the way it does because it utilizes subatomic particles, in this case photons, to observe a phenomenon. We as humans can only observe photons en masse, so when we look past the slits, all we find is a hazy wave pattern, and that's what our instruments fine. That's okay, because that's what happens. The issue isn't where or when we're observing the photons, though, it's how.
See, we can't stick our eyeballs up against one of the slits to catch the photon and know its spin, velocity, etc. Even if we could, that photon would then never reach its original destination: the sheet of paper. The same thing is happening with our photon detectors. See, in order to measure a photon passing through the slit, we bombard it with magnetic fields, then detect how those fields are affected. It's like measuring the speed of a bullet by sticking a thin membrane of ballistics gel in its path and measuring the vibrations. Problem is, that directly interacts with the photon, and thus fundamentally alters its course. It isn't that something has consciously "observed" the state of the photon; the result would be the same if no one checked. It's that we stuck our grubby fingers in the photon's path to feel it as it passed. In order to equate this effect with magic, equestrians would have to be putting out some other strong, yet variable interference field, and seeing as they don't fry electronics each time they light their horn, it's probably not magnetic.
Just felt like putting that out there. I'm also not an expert on theoretical physics; not even close. I'm just repeating what I learned from someone smarter than me.
In this setup the light would always appear to act as a wave (assuming the slits were close enough and small enough for you to actually see the interference)
