989843 The radiation poisoning thing is interesting, but really we get enough of that stuff from radiation in other stories.
To me, magic has always been an over the top kind of thing, so when I started writing my TCB story I decided to make the effect it has on humans a bit over the top as well.
Hence, exploding in a cacophony of guts, gore, and blood.
Also, it makes Twilight's task a bit more difficult, she has no testing opportunity because when humans come into contact with such pure magic it causes them to explode.
This gives the unicorns a huge advantage against humans, which will be covered later. Unicorn magic isn't as powerful as the concentrated magic of the barrier, but there have been injuries.
This forces the HLF to resort to guerrilla tactics, often, when they are out in the field the unicorns are the first targets.
As I like to say whenever I play Dragon Age, "MAGE DIES FIRST!"
993200 That's one of the avenues that Twilight is pursuing, and the most plausible one, because at this point stopping the barrier would only accomplish so much, and separating the worlds would require too much magic.
If she can get humans to be able to utilize magic like the unicorns, and create mages, that would be the easiest solution.
993219 Badass human mages oh yea i have got to say the first chapter put me off, but after that i found myself saying " wow this isint some bullshit story saying 'Ponies are teh best they do no wrong' " good job not making a biased Tcb fic.
993176 ... You know, I am VERY tempted to yell off those lines in a microphone myself.... (Such as, "OFF WITH THEM BLEEDIN MAGGIES HEAD! BLAST THEM KELPIES BACK TO THE FATHERLAND, etc.) Say, would you mind sending a few special selected lines? I might be able to make them epic. Who knows? Perhaps even a few from the story will work. My bass/baritone voice should make good work of this.

First CB story Ive ever read, so idk the 'good' 'great' or 'horrible' standards for it, but I'm guessing his belongs in the 'great' one.
