As everyone knows, humans are immune to magic. Goodness, how ever will all these poor, helpless ponies deal with such a clearly overpowered ability?
A collection of short stories.
Very short.

That was also my question. drat.
10329700
Is there room for a triple DRAT!
10329717
"A quadruple drat would be Oscura levels of overkill."
"It definitely would be, Danger."
"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!."
"May I punch her, Rainbow?."
"Granted.
This would work but AJ would regret it after as she lost all her strength after. Tirek showed even Earth Ponies would feel weaker than a newborn kitten once magic is nullified.

He's twirling his mustache, he has a distinctive laugh, and he's an ineffective comic villain who always fails.
All qualities that represent our human protagonist quite well.
10329813
If you'd like, you can imagine that it's Dastardly in the story. He's never explicitly given a name, and they're fairly similar.
A pragmatic answer, magic immunity only prevents magic from affecting you, not your environment.
Physical strength is physical strength, simple as that.
10329771
He's not nullifying her magic, he's simply immune to it. Which, given that Applejack isn't using any magic on him, is enormously pointless.
Environmental manipulation again. If it ain't broke, why fix it? This villainous fellow really isn't all that bright, is he?
It's simple physics really, mass times velocity. Get it going fast enough and you could wreck a tank with a paper airplane.
That said, poor Rainbow. "tis a horrible accident right there, just bit too much reality.
Really, "I threw a rock at him!" is a perfectly reasonable opening to any serious fight. It's a good way to get a head start on assessing capabilities, and every so often your opponent unaccountably doesn't have any sort of an answer at all.
This, I like this. Always fun to see Fluttershy with some spark in her. You know she'd be aces at the wide-eyed sarcasm bit.
The thing to remember about Fluttershy, is that she has friends. Quite a lot of friends really.
Also, "I got shot by a bow and arrow" or "I got shot by a crossbow bolt" are plausible outcomes, since those exist... if Overconfident Human actually got far enough for that to matter, lol.
actually there's bladed or blunt weapons in general, which even if tactile telekinesis ("sticky hooves") didn't work, well... there's still a good number of those in the setting with fingers/razor-sharp claws, and there's only one of them to begin with, usually.

Rewatch the show. Earth pony strength comes from magic. Physics bubble suggests a bubble of physics surrounds him. An Earth pony coming near him and penetrating bubble would nullify strength. I simply said it would affect her negatively to touch him even at normal strength.
10330015
Really, if you have nothing else going for you in the way of "powers," "immune to magic" just doesn't get you very far... if you have no friends, and aren't going in with a good game plan, lol. (the quantity of opponents can mean a lot, and all)
Discord would probably realistically be way more threatening than a human could ever be in the physical/predator department, even aside from any animals Fluttershy has around (he can support his body weight on two legs, without magic, he has claws on both hands, and his body is serpentine), and Rarity's ballsy enough to kick a Manticore in the face and punch the crap out of multiple Changelings (that is, actually have it work out for her, the latter case).
and one wonders what the Party Cannon might do if it's magic making it work theexactway it does10330008
Specifically (not to accuse you of not knowing this), it's 1/2 Mass x Velocity2, meaning if you double the velocity... you have quadrupled the kinetic energy, which is why a car crashing at 120 miles per hour is... not going to simply do three times as much damage to itself and everything around it compared to if it was going 40 miles per hour (sixteen times the usual crash test kinetic energy).
(I would recommend watching that, because it's kinda interesting, seeing the results of such a crash test)
10330123
Be that as it may. There have been multiple attempts to work out pony sizes and they all agree within a few inches of each other at around 3.5 feet tall. It turns out that if you then work out proportions from living small equines like shetlands and miniature horses the average pony should weigh about 200 lbs. In AJs case that’s pure muscle. She doesn’t need magic to break bones.
10330669
Also, even if having your magic suppressed were equally unpleasant as Tirek draining magic, for an Earth Pony (I'd suspect having it all sucked out of you is probably a worse feeling than suppression [the latter of which is explicitly what the human's anti magic field is doing, so I doubt Applejack would "regret it" on that basis, since all she'd have to do is leave the small field and she's fine, most likely], but that's just my opinion), I will point out that Applejack was still capable of running to the Tree of Harmony with her magic drained, going by Twilight's Kingdom, as the scene transition went, just like the others.
And in any case, normal proportional strength for a farmer pony or not, she still kicked the human in the balls ("nads"), which may or may not still be enough to rupture one with normal strength.
if someone disagrees with me, discuss, if you don't mind10330669
I never said it wouldn't hurt. I just pointed out that any part of the body within the bubble, would be nullified of magic and turn off the super strength. Author suggested a half foot radius around the body is a magic dead zone.
10330828
I would imagine it similar to having all your energy temporarily sapped from your body. If you knew how unpleasant extreme low blood sugar can be, (the closest equivalent I can think of). Moodwise, you would feel worse than crap and your body would feel like a sandbag full of lead. Not a pleasant experience.
10330010
Hey, if you throwing a rock just knocks out your opponent right off the bat then hey, it works, and if it works then it ain't stupid.
Come now Twilight, that was a little much, yes? But I suppose it pays to be sure.
Unfortunately, Equestrian medicine is intensely magical in nature, so they were unable to do anything to save him.
Pinkie isn't magic, she's some flavor of benign eldritch being. and as such, ignores any and all rules that she doesn't care to bother with.
But only when it's funny.
Twilight: It's inconclusive, but either I'm a Mary Sue, or this guy's just pathetic. When he's out of the hospital and back for more, I'll collect more data.
Never underestimate the power of low-mass, high-velocity projectiles. Fun fact: a dropped screw in orbit can crack open a spaceship.
There's still solutions like "collapse the bridge or part of a mountain they're standing on," or "trigger an avalanche to fall on top of them," and plenty of other things, if they're foolish enough to walk into a disadvantageous setting.
...also you can possibly wack them using a tree trunk (or branch if you wanna be using something smaller) as a club if your magic is strong enough, or you have that much physical strength, because it would be long enough not to cancel out the part you're gripping (it's said to be like half a foot, the bubble, right?)
Or a streetlight.

Pinkie Pie is the true Creator. All of reality bows to her whims. All hail The Pink One.
This is a work of art. I laughed at every chapter so far, keep up the good work.
I see twilight knows the Move Earth spell. Its a very useful spell if you're creative.
10331368
Or just a bullet, lol.
For the next episode: Does pegasus-induced lighting does count as magic? Inquiring minds want to know.
(No, really. i am curious)
I'm reminded of Twilight picking up a gravel beach and throwing it at a magic-resistant monster in Quantum Castaways.
10331935
Personally I would say say that no, lightning isn't magic, even if the generation method is. And yes, that's another good example of the general failling of the "I'm immune to magic ponies can't hurt me!" trope.
Checking my list, "generic background pegasus" is currently chapter 15, though things may shift around between now and then.
10331998
What about Dragonfire? Or it is a "Anti-magic Human Vs Spike" chapter spoiler?
I'm pretty sure her name is "Cloud Chaser". I always forget about her being the pegasus Equivalent of Lyra.
"Do I not destroy my enemy by making him my friend?"
Rock on, Pinkie.
Here's a name for him, Twilight: Owned.
You keep owning him, so why not?
Oh gods, why haven’t I ever found this before.
It’s so good.
Also, that is totally a problem that I have never seen before in magic nullification fanfics, so good job.
10332216
No, different pony. This is Cloud Chaser. PInkie Pie was referring to Cloud Kicker from the Winningverse.
Well now, that's an inconvenient difficulty isn't it?
I wonder if it would have hit that problem through passive accumulation?
Inertia is a cruel mistress and all ponies are capable of at least some form of 'launching of large rocks' or utilizing pressure waves that a human wouldn't be able to handle.
Let's add a new take to the mix, Zecora with a blowpipe and a tranquilizing chemical!
Zecora: You think yourself so mighty from being magically immune, all I needed is a bit of bamboo and some chemicals to make you swoon.
10333289
And I was refering to a memory of an old fic (forget which one) where Flitter and Cloud Chaser are trying to seduce a human with just as much creepiness as a Lyra. I remember the terriible innuendo Flitter used by hinting Cloud Chaser was into mountain climbing to hint they don't mind the size difference...
Anti-magic human with horrible fashion sense vs. Rarity.
10333373
I assure you that Rarity will have her moment to shine.
Twilight: I didn't think it was possible, but this guy is getting even MORE pathetic. I barely even had to do anything this time!
This has got to be one of the first pony-doorknob concepts I've ever seen. How fascinating. And here I was wondering if he was pushing on a "pull" door.
Magic flashbangs, it's amazing how rarely you see someone actually think to do that. Twilight is an eminently practical pony it would seem.
This is an exceedingly simple spell, by all accounts, too. Almost any unicorn ever can channel magic through their horn to produce light. Now granted, perhaps most wouldn't practice making it that bright, but still, that's actually a really plausible application, pulling a Solar Flare.
I don't remember seeing this application before, but I'd be more surprised if no one's thought of it before, and I'll admit I'd have never thought of it.
...also by extension, if they can hear you, and vice-versa (which is obviously the case here), you can perhaps produce enough sound to rupture their eardrums, if you have the ability to do so, which can possibly cause problems beyond hearing, like vertigo.
(of course, that would be something you don't want happening to you as well, for obvious reasons)
Is that is that fucking dick dastardly from wacky racers
And of course that must be true also for sound, or heat, or smells, or...
And if he is immune because of a physic bubble should not he be affected by the Want it-Need it spell? The spells hit the object, not the human after all.
