Chapter 22
“You know,” I said from my place by the fireplace, having just finished my breakfast “I have an idea for what to do today:”
Celestia smiled from across from me where she was stretched out on the couch, taking up most of it with her forehooves hooked over the armest, “And what may that be?”
I smirked, “Okay,” I said, looking up at her, “I have more than one idea right now. But this one is magic related.”
“What would you like to do?”
I got up and stretched, wings raised high before I folded my wings, “You know the spell you and Luna are going to burn excess magic?”
“Our manes and tails,” Celestia said with a nod, “You would like to learn it?”
“...Better than shimmering,” I admitted, “But I was thinking maybe we could try for a… cooler version or something? Something more manly.”
Celestia looked amused, “Oh?”
I nodded, scraping a hoof against the stone floor, “You know, the entire flowing mane and tail feels just… kinda girly?”
The alicorn of the sun smiled, “Oh does it?”
“Kinda?”
“What would you prefer instead?” Celestia asked before she eyed me thoughtfully, “...You know, I think you would look good with a longer mane.”
I blinked, “Really?” I asked and glanced up before I shook my head, “Never mind that now. What instead… I’m not sure,” I then admitted, “I was thinking something with shadows?”
Celestia raised an eyebrow, “A bit cliche, isn’t it?
“Yeah, maybe a bit,” I admitted with a shrug, “But also kinda cool?”
Celestia eyed me and then her horn flashed. Her mane and tail stopped being their usual flowing ethereal self and settled into strands of mane as they sank down to hang normally.
Still celestially colored in multiple colours and she moved off the couch. The effect was almost instant. I could feel…
…Without the spell burning of excess magic, I could feel the temperature increasing, radiating from her. It was like standing outside on a warm summer day at noon.
“You are so hot.”
She smirked, “Give it thirty minutes and I’ll be hot enough to melt gold,” she said and spread her wings. It was almost like a warm wind emitted from her.
“If you get upset enough, it bleeds through anyway?”
Celestia nodded, “It does. As it does for Luna. As it will for you, Cadence, Twilight, Midnight and Flurry.”
I nodded, pressing my wings against my sides, protecting the somewhat sensitive skin as much as I could from the heat. It was starting to quickly pass hot summer day in Nocturnis and heading towards bonfire.
“Actually,” Celestia said with a smile, “The spell for our manes weren’t the first one Luna and I attempted. We actually went through a number of spells before we settled on the ones we did. In the end, those turned out to be the least disruptive ones.”
“Such as?”
Celestia smiled, “Give me a second, I’ll try to remember. I haven’t used this one since… oh, it has to be thousands of years.”
She looked thoughtful for several long minutes. I could feel the heat starting to feel burning hot from meters away, but I refused to step back even as my eyes started to feel dry.
Finally she nodded and her eyes flashed… and started to glow.
I had to narrow my eyes, but I couldn’t look away. She was absolutely radiant. Her white coat shone softly, sunlight spreading through the chamber, her wings and horn glowing even brighter and I couldn’t look straight at either of them, her mane shining with an interior light, turning from pink to a glowing white.
“Wow…” I said as I was finally forced to push my night goggles down as my eyes started to water, which helped, but she looked radiant even through them and I still couldn’t look directly at her horn and wings, “And you wonder why ponies worshiped you like a sun goddess.”
She looked like a goddess normally, with her shining like that…
…I felt like building a temple. Wow.
Celestia smiled, her wings raising high and wide, “Indeed. That is one of the reasons we stopped using these that took too much inspiration from our domains. If you think mine is attention grabbing, you should see my sisters. Hers made her look like she was made from the night sky.
Oh wow.
I totally have to ask to see that at some point.
“Also, mine made it a bit difficult to sleep for everypony else,” Celestia then added with a smile.
Pushing my goggles back up a bit, I snuck a glance at her before I had to look away again, “You look amazing.”
“Thank you”, Celestia said before focusing and her horn flashed. The glow faded away and her mane and tail returned to their normal state, fading away from individual strands to the flowing ethereal mane. I had to blink, trying to clear sunspots from my vision.
“...We can start with the normal spell first?” I asked, pushing my goggles fully back up onto my forehead, “See how it works?”
She nodded, “It will be a while until you will need it. Candace doesn’t even need it yet. Likely at least a century until ponies start to fall in love with her as soon as she walks into a room. But we can work on it today, if you like.”
And some ponies though my domain was scary.
“Yes please,” I said and then glanced up at her, “If I have it running, it will start in case I get agitated enough to start manifesting, right?”
“Correct,” Celestia confirmed, “Assuming you are already outputting enough base magic to keep the enchantment intact. Which I am far from sure you are.”
“Let’s start there then,” I said with a determined nod, “Flowing mane and tail is still more manly than shimmering.”
Celestia laughed.

Nice
Otherwise it will be: I am Vengeance. I am the Night. I'M PRINCE BLANK PAGE!!!
*Insert Batman Animated Series theme song*
Blank Page would make a bloody awesome Alucard:

- 
Very nice
11610576
Your wish shall be fullfilled:
Blank Page - Prince of the Shadows
- Celestia is bringing the day.
- Luna us bringing the night.
- Cadance is bringing the love.
- Twilight is bringing the knowledge and friendship.
- Blank Page... If you misbehave than he brings the 》pain《!
Okay, now somebody draw a picture of Page with flowing mane and tail. 😀
A nice little chapter to get us through the day.
Missing a P
Bet that would get real old real quick
I suppose when page gets magic enough, perhaps those around him could fall into fantasies indistinguishable from reality, but what would page's "god hair" even look like? Some kind of dreamscape with paper and text edges on the boundaries of his hair?
how many does she have of those?
Also sadly but tease meme must go on. Without conclusion.
11610647
Like the MARVEL studios opening crawl, full of brief snippets of images and stories, before flickering to something else
Future Page better have that spell down pat, or else the occasional human-brand intrusive thought of wanting to do [insert thing here] to an annoying blabbermouth might actually happen to some snooty noble.
Or at least, everyone will hallucinate that it happens.
Or everyone falls asleep around him? Idk
Page:
Behold!
*wispy shadows covers Page's wings and expanding its size by several feet*
Celestia: ...
Page:
I see I rendered you speechless in awe? Feel free to calm yourself!
Celestia:
...Wow Sunset was right. You are jealous of that statue's wingspan!
Page:
I AM NOT JEALOUS!
Celestia:
And then there's the jokes about how hot she is. We already knew where this was going before you started saying stuff like that, you don't need to be this blatant.
Hiver, probably:

Perhaps a combination of ever changing images and words along with flowing 4d hair? I think that his mane/ tail having the illusion of being 4d to represent the boundary between reality and fiction just makes sense…
Thanks for the chapter!
I honestly think he should try to use the spell that reflects his domain on his fur at least once regardless of how “unmanly” it might be. Because that might show him something new about his domain he has missed/ ignored…
Have a great day!
Great chapter

Knowing his luck, it'd probably drift straight up.
Or do the "PC Master Race Meme" flowing wavy locks, but slowly drift, so if he turns too quickly it smacks him in the face.
Or PINK!
if Cadence's magical after effect is ponies in love with her then what would be the magical after effect of Twilight and Page?
Also, wouldn't the domain of dreams, stories, and imagination improve spellcraft?
Totally agree!
Wait... Blank Page?
Blank Page?
Blank PAGE?
Isn't his domain papercuts?
thought
I found, like, three things worth mentioning, from missing apostrophes to a missing end quote, but this was the only real typo that no one else pointed out.
Joke time:
Page: The same thing we do every day! Try to take over the w--OW!!
Page: My poor ear...

I am 98% sure that's a joke but just in case his domain (in I think this is the order) Stories, Dreams, and Imagination/Inspiration so while it doesn't sound menacing at first glance but then you get it a second thought and find it's a pretty scary domain I'd say potentially far more horrifying than just basically love, lust, and fertility.
