Argh! I just complained about it changing "yer" to "her" last chapter and it got me again!
Fixed. Thanks!
This colt is truly all-powerful. Author is walking down the slippery slope...
Wait I thought she already had her Sundae?
i really love your work man.
i love how detailed you are.
dialog is smooth.
the story is long but if feel like i read it in no time at all because im so engaged with the story.
one recommendation, cure often talks about how he can screw up and like blow himself up a little.
you got to make some scene in the future where this actually happens.
like he's in a stressfull dangerous situation and messes up while trying to figure a way out with his talent

i can't tell if this is a complaint or a complement
Thanks for the update and amazing work as always!
Hmm I wonder where he would place the horn? Could he replace a bone like a femur with it (or convert a bone into one) or would he have to grow it out of his body? Either way I’m loving this story.
Is Mr. Wave going to try casting out of a unicorn's horn without having any of his own horny equipment? I've been waiting for that ever since he mentioned it.
Hey, here's a fun prank idea: return a book on magic to Mr. Binder, levitating it earth pony style, and say the book was very helpful. Imagine the reaction!
*who's
That's quite a strange way to say that. Is it intentional?

He's been surfing down that slope since Chapter 1, presumably while wearing sunglasses and a backwards ballcap.
The biggest problem I got, is cure to presume that 1 ft in his reality is the same than 1 ft on earth.
He has no point of reference, so for all he knows humans can be from Kaiju size to the size of an ant
Imagine a human gets teleported to Equestria and he is 20 Equestrian ft tall, but in reality he is 6 human ft tall.
I hope that in a future chapter he admits that he got no point of reference, so comparing weigh, size, etcetera is inaccurate without something to base it off.

I think Cure touched on that some both in the first chapter when he was trying to figure out about how big he was by comparing his body length & height to produce and then again when he's doing magic experiments and keeps stopping to ask Vines stuff like gravity and air composition.

I mentioned in an earlier chapter (Correction- a comment to an earlier chapter) that the original idea for this story was going to be an overpowered OC comedy thing. Other folks have pointed out that his ability is completely, ridiculously OP as well. It won't directly be a major focus of the story (IMO), though, so don't worry too much about it. Cure has more-or-less figured out as much as I think he can until, as he says, he can find some way to observe the other half of what's going on. I don't see that happening anytime soon, but he is still going to occasionally pull some BS out of his hat, mainly just because having a character not do so feels forced. Like growing a horn... I could have had him hold off on doing that, but let's be honest here. If you're an earth pony and, like back in (I think) chapter one your first reaction was "Ah damn I can't shoot lasers!" then you get the ability to alter your biology, you will try to grow a horn, guaranteed.
I could have written it so that the horn didn't actually work for some reason, but then the pursuit would simply be finding a way to convert one tribe's magic to another's and, since they're both forms of energy, there's no logical reason I could think of that they are not compatible in some way... especially when the four types of ponies are damned near identical except for appendages, size, and a cellular structure.

I may do an omake with the idea. I like it. Hell, picturing it actually got a snort outta me when I read it this morning. I'll fix the typos in a sec. As far as the "I always cycle magic now"... ehh... I dunno. Maybe it's a regional dialect kinda thing like soda vs. pop vs. coke... even if I prefer Pepsi. I guess I can try to rephrase it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Couldn't he make some kind of spell gun with this information.

Like the bullets could be crystals charged with magic or have an attachment that drains the users own magic.
This would give none unicorns access to spell attacks and eliminate the chance of human or rather pony error.
This seems like a horrible idea.
Ignoring for a moment that taste is a way to identify bad food (rot, decay, poisons etc.,) or that taste is incredibly subjective and also affected by smell and texture (and even sight, light, sound, and the order in which you consume something,) its also a good way to make the things you like get super boring. For example, I'm not a fan of tomatoes on their own but I will shank anyone who tries to take them away from me because their taste works so well in concert with other flavors. If you just turn flavors you don't like into sweetness, you're losing a whole lot of complexity to a meal and messing with established flavors.
It's also insinuated that he's tweaking his own neurochemistry to make it happen, which sounds like a good way to flirt with addiction and problematic eating behaviour.

I'm more thinking about Gulliver's travels kind of situation, he can't know for sure because the corn and stuff can be the wrong size too.
The only way to be sure is having a object or person from Earth.
It would be hilarious that when he discovers a object from earth it's Kaiju size and he freaks out because of it.
Bumped into this fic about last week. I had a lot of fun reading your work so far, Wordsmith! I really enjoyed every part of it, especially your ability to mix technical and creativity together.
It is true; FiMfiction authors haven't delved into the idea of a human in a current foal body but he gets to share his experience and skills. Most are usually for the shock and awe or adventure kind of stories. Specifically, the story of a colt who has time magic and is a delicacy to changelings apparently.
I really like to see where you will bring everyone to! It is sad there will be time skips, but it is understandable if the day is typical.
You're doing really great!
mind then
out of place the
This story reminds me of the Parallel World Pharmacy anime if the mc was willing to modify his own body rather than just make whatever he felt like.
11410053
Yeah but his parents are already concerned he'll make things he shouldn't and this would upset them, might be something to suggest to celestia later but even then, they would probably be better off not turning this into a FoE fic.
11410105
That'd be a trip on its own like imagine biting into an orange and it tasting like a chocolate chip cookie.
I'd think that'd get old really quickly.
Be more interesting to improve your sense of taste/smell so you could enjoy food more or expand what you could eat like ponies can't eat gems but dragons can, what do gems taste like to dragons? They obviously wouldn't taste the same way to ponies.
11410983
Lots of room to explore there, annoyingly most seem to have the mc regress to a foal or otherwise completely accept being treated as a foal.
This one handles it very well, mc is still mc without being dumbed down and the parents accept that he is much more capable than the average foal...they treat him as a person rather than an infant.
11411365
Thanks for spottin the typos. Fixed!
I lightly touch on the point you made (the one about making things) in the next chapter, which I'm in the process of giving a final pass before publishing now. I may have to check out Parallel World Pharmacy. I've never heard of it, but it sounds like I should have.

When I say time skips I'm talking about like... a week or two here or there, mostly. I tentatively have another 8 chapters planned for the remainder of 908AB, which only has three and a half months left as of Chapter 25 and another three or four within the first few months of 909. From there the skips may get larger but honestly the story will stagnate if he stays a kid too long. I'd like to get him to adulthood in under 400k words, but I'm pretty sure that won't happen. We'll see.
11410105
I think in this very chapter I had him say something about needing a palate cleanser and two thirds of his parents declined, so yeah... I realized that pretty quickly too. Then again if I could make veggies taste great I'd be a whole lot less of a fatass. Fortunately Cure won't suffer from diabeetus or anything. Early on he said he could dissolve fat and have it go out urine and that he can isolate and counteract poisons and venoms. I don't think some funky food will be a major threat for him.
Of course nobody even realized he could weaponize this and make someone only taste less than pleasant things. Good thing he's an ethical biomancer!
Awesome chapter!

Ethical or not, sometimes a bad pony needs to suffer from chronic flatulence.
One thing that keeps nagging at me is how he is improving ponies even without OP cutiemark skills. For example, getting his parents to "cycle their magic" (exercise) and self-improve on their own. Who's to say (in 30-50yrs) that Cure doesn't start a revolution in pony health and longevity and is the reason Granny Smith lives so long in Season 1 a hundred years from now? (I also agree that kicking the crap out of a tree instead of "asking" it to drop the fruit is very rude)
This kind of irony can be entertaining when played in a humorous way, but here, as an off hand comment, it just breaks the immersion for me :(
En este entonces es muy poco probable, pero en unos 70 años más se habría quedado atrás si lo comparamos son Twilight o Sunburst.

Just wait, they might pull a 'my life as a bipedal pony' (her powers? Mostly due to possession by Sombra)... but probably not, and I don't think it'd fit here.
So yeah, the reason to read this story is not the gripping drama within the story, but the gripping drama of how bravely the author is going to violate Sanderson's second law. How far will he let things escalate before letting Cure actually have more than a half hour's roadblock or encounter some hard limits, or is he going to consider vague potential difficulties that never materialize and quickly resolved personal disputes with foals to be sufficient difficulty to maintain interest forever?
Unicorn horn functional and efficient on first try? Sheesh. If he doesn't find that the reason unicorns keep it next to their skulls is that anything more complicated than light requires high bandwidth and low latency he simply can't provide with biology at that range from the brain… well, it's just gone from stupidly overpowered to MORE stupidly overpowered. Better if he finds that anything more than a step up from light requires special brain structures and he's actually leery of making that change on himself, or if he tries it with what he thinks is adequate caution and comes out worse off - at least temporarily.
Up to this point, I was wondering if his techniques became the norm over the next century, and canon follows from it with everypony cycling their marks and it just doesn't come up because it's too normal. With this, that seems less likely.
I just love your magic casting system here. Sounds like a 3 dimensional keyboard you type with micro muscle movements. I've actually been conceptualizing that as a Brain Computer Interface control scheme. A simple rubix cube sized grid gets you all the letters and then some, though with yours, it sounds more like a high definition sphere where distance and angle from 0,0,0 are more relevant than grid coordinates.
Would a longer horn mean they have a larger "reach" on the spell interface? And they could cast a spell with a point outside the range of a normal pony? Or would it just mean they have a larger room for error in their sphere because there's more space between 'acceptible inputs' for a spell.
I'm really loving this story and how much detail and thought you put into it, from implications of actions to the magic system. Well done.

1 too many "both"
Evil, dangerous, deranged.
He passed a serious misconception of microwaves. They are a part of radiowaves range, somewhere in middle. They were considered on top of it 100 years ago. Today it's a layman term for GHz range (3-300GHz) They EASILY penetrate skin and are absorbed by conductive or polarized mediums, like water. The absorbtion depends on frequency and happens within narrow bands, the higher is frequency, the more energy solid matter is able to absorb.
Radiowaves bounced by our skin lay in teraherz range - a frequency tousand times higher than what microwave oven produces. Then goes infrared range with a pinprick of absobtion band known as "thermal" (not all IR are related to heat), and of course our skin mostly bounces that supernarrow range known to us as "visible"
"And thus, Cure summons Twilight Sparkle into being 75 years before she was supposed to be born!"
How do we tell him?
Neat

Syroc hit hard on the thing that concerned me about fucking with his taste buds: big danger messing with that. But Swarm Chaser also makes a good point, especially on analyzing the dragons' ability to ID crystals from tasting them. If Cure makes friends with some dragons, he might be the progenitor of the Pie family's rockfarming line. IIRC, Maud Pie was able to tell a rock's nature from tasting it.
And having some of those stolen Unicorn-Magic-Intellectual-Property secrets in her genes might explain a number of other oddities about Pinkie....
Not so many of you*
Turn the enmity into friendship. We sure he's avoiding ascending? 😈
Is it weird that despite obvious intent, we find it not truly likely that Dawn will become a forever partner?
“you see her, Glacial that I’m not upset with them at all,”
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this one before but the way in which the sentence is a structured is a tad bit confusing. how you say you see her, space glacial specifically caused me to pause and reread the sentence again. I’m pretty sure I understand that you’re just talking about her sister glacial, but the way it’s structured almost seems like you’re talking about two different ponies there, so maybe a slight rewarding there or place a second comma after glacial in order to clarify that the “her” you are referring to is glacial?
