"Really just some basic math telling the spaell the few things it needs to know and the rune to make it all work together."
Don't have a funny quip for this error.
"I can't enchant the Steael wood to hold a powerful magic."
"I then carefully enchant the Steael wood to hold and gather magic, before adding the new float spell."
"Then I activate the float spell in the piece of Steael wood and place the ruby above it."
"And the spells work, as the medium ruby floats above the Steael wood piece."
"This means that when I pick up the Steael wood piece the gem will stay with it."
Unless that's the name he's come up for this magic absorbing wood, then it's probably best to still be called Steel wood. That said, the amount of times it pops up has me concerned that I may be the one who is incorrect. The only saving grace for me is that I've seen a few "Steel wood" mentioned already.
And now we have real signs of changelings. I wonder if he's gonna do anything more about them or just gather information. I know I'd least drop a couple of hints or say what he's learned to Celestia if it was me. He has a good rapport with her and would likely listen to what he has to say. Maybe just don't namedrop what he heard and only say what he heard, if that makes any sense.

Apparently my brain forgot how to spell steel. Thanks for the help.
And there it is, so something is happening, and they need more food. It could just be that there is an influx of grubs all of a sudden, and they need to feed their young. Something happened to other infiltrators, and the hive is starving and dying out (aka going to war because there is no other option for survival). Or the 2 love birds started dating, and the queen is taking that as a chance and is stockpiling extra food for the war effort for more power to take over (aka evil queen reasons).
But enough of trying to predict the bugs time for MAGIC. For hiding emotions, he can just override them with stored emotions if he learns that. Also, with the emotion thing that can be used as a weapon, imagine pumping your opponent full of fear or anger, forcing them to make mistakes. It could also probably be lethal of changelings by either overfeeding with love or overwhelming with a negative emotion like sadness.
11874218
No problem.
Tho you still missed Spall/Spell as one of the edits I suggested.
11874225
Honestly the idea of using emotions as a weapon is really fun. But if I did that I might not be able to stop myself from having Shade go full scarecrow. Although I will admit the idea of fear gassing a villain would be fun.
11874230
Thanks again and sorry for not seeing it the first time. The fact that I can write a story and yet can't see mistakes when they are pointed out to me is something I will never understand.
11874234
It's one of life's mysteries. I wouldn't let it get to you tho.
Just keep doing what you're doing and people like us can pick up the slack and all will be well.
With how short these chapters are, might be idea to listen to them with reader to hear the odd words. Good story and if following some what near lore, this is the point chrysalis starts building up her hive for the invasion. I only know that for how many stories I read on here. But if the character only was a fan and not a brony, he won't know this. Keep up the good work.
11874232
If he goes full scarecrow, even if it's only for villains, I think Sunny-D would probably stone him for even having the idea. But it is a fun idea that you can maybe do as a joke chapter just give him a nightmare of him going full villain dropping fear bombs :3
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My infinite magic glitch.
How to defeat changeling? Gas them wit love. They will go into food coma 👍
I think you meant competition
Also yay new chapter
So something akin to enlighten oneself and detach from the earth to fly. Something akin to ascending oneself through enlightenment. Feels very cultivationy. Understand the dao and fly.
11874264
Sounds more fitting than my comparison to spirit or mist/wind I first made when I saw this
11874263
Thank you.
I like that he is incidentally picking up skills that would make him able to infiltrate the changelings. Illusion magic and emotion shielding together you could walk past changelings without them caring to check. No infiltrator would bother checking for an infiltrator =P
With shades life magic, We know that coping the life magic pattern flowing through plants lets him partial borrow their property's. So could he copy the life magic flowing through other animals, like pegassi for their weather magic and Celestia for her alicorn stuff. Also could you identify a changeling by the way their life magic flows if it is different from other pony's.
Also are changelings a special subspecies of the pony, like the thestrals, or are they their own species.
11874281
For the first question. Yes but that would fall under biomancy, and that isn't easy.
As for the second question, I have no idea. I'll just put it up to a solid maybe.
11874294
Thank you.
Wonder if eventually he can get a plant to naturally grow a spell matrix? If so, he may eventually make a plant with the affinity conversion matrix turning life affinity to love. It is much more finite than just giving someone the conversion matrix in a gem, given you can hide it in the plant.
11874299
I think that would be possible, because back like 20 something chapters ago there was a flower mentioned that turned the ambient mana into ice type mana. But I think that would be something that he currently cannot do, because his only real advancement with life magic right now is changing the shape and boosting the property's of the plant. he hasn't his the point where he can change the function of the plant.
You don't need to make a translation of something to fully understand it. A caveman understood what hiding was even without knowing speech. Saying you don't understand something because you can't translate it is not logical.
People invent new words and assign them meaning, not the other way around.
11874335
Yet.
11874336
Yes that is true. But this is in the context of it being part of a rune. And to fully understand a rune you need it's original meaning.
At least that's how I wanted it to come off as. I'll tweak it slightly to better reflect that.
11874373
Thank you. :D
11874337
if he develops this level of Chlorokinesis, which would lead to Biokinesis, then you will honestly have problems with power creep, See Life Finds A Way. Cure is just so far above literally every other character except Celestia it honestly isn't funny. By the time he gets to cannon, with 100 years to spread his plant, thing through out all of equestrian that will provided him with magic energy, he could be outputting enough energy to just nuke the entire planet.
11874422
I've been trying this whole time to keep Shades strength in things he can make. Hell right now he has enough money and knowledge to make a magic bomb that could level any city. All he's need is a lot of gems and a few weeks of prep.
But I do see your point about power creep. I want to have him use biomancy but with pretty heavy restrictions. For instance being able to control anything he makes will be a real challenge.
But again I do agree with you that I need to be very careful about how I use both biomancy and floramancy.
Thanks for your thought and have a nice day. :D

The thing is power creep is actually a realistic expectation. A curious and clever human that gets a new magic system to play with is going to try to take as far as possible. With the insane amount of knowledge/ideas they have been exposed to by modern fiction anything that "cheats" the system is going to be too juicy a goal not to pursue. Basically, look what happens in video games with speed runs given enough time, people start just doing insane things by exploiting the flaws of the world... now make it a very colorful little pony with the mind of a space age apex predator and things are just going to get weird.
11874473
Agreed.
11874473
Honestly that would be an intense fic. Being born into a game world and abusing the glitches that game world has. I know that there are some manga that did something similar but, I don't remember them being very good.
Thanks for the updates!
Float spell? That’s a step from a Cloudwalking spell. A little amulet or earring or snuggled into a bed frame and -bam!- our guy can sleep on his very own cloud bed. I hear it’s truly unrivaled in comfort.
I’m curious if they only detected his emotions. Does Shade have his own magical signature or does Entropy leave behind any magical impressions on an area she teleports to regularly? Our guy might have pursuers in short order if either do. Not many ponies use life magic and Entropy is likely the only one of her kind in Canterlot.
At what point does Shade decide to break his Prime Directive and talk with the Princess?

11874763
Thank you.
Very nice. It's always fun to make neat little things. Especially neat little things that float and move. Even more would be even cooler. Maybe, say, a floating Rubik's Cube that just auto-shuffles itself.
And some interesting, very concerning things about Changelings there.
11874473
Exactly.
Floating and seeing? Leaving the ground and reaching the clouds?
Colt, I'm pretty sure you found the ancient rune for "Getting high". In a spell matrix It might be replaced with the number 420
Might I propose a solution to this?
ok so
His stove was controlled by a dial that produced a 1 or a 0
His light is turned on by tapping
So it isn't that hard to turn something on or off, stay with me here
He can also check the time using a spell, yeah?
So how about he just hooks it up so it turns off at night? or day? or while he's at work?
He can even have it check for ponies in the room using a weak magic scan
Something like
if time==day and ponies_in_room>0:
world=True
else:
world=False
And then you can have it do a little scan and time check every time the door opens or closes
Steel wood? When did he acquire that, as he's been working on iron wood
