That is Celestia’s dirty laundry, and We expect her to deal with it.

We wish We could provide some sort of story as to how We got such a beautiful mane, but the truth is We don’t know. When We finally emerged and took over Luna’s mind, We simply took on this appearance.

Do you do this willingly, with the understanding that your memories, identity, and sense of self will be destroyed in the process?

We could show you something of it…

*She bends down and touches her horn to a small pebble. The pebble shimmers for a moment, then dissolves into a tiny point of light that hovers near her horn.*

This is one of the simplest applications of prime, dissolving something back into the primal ‘stuff’ of creation. From here it can be reshaped into any other object of similar mass, which is something any ordinary alteration spell could do. However, unlike ordinary alterations, it can also be transformed into energy, like so. *She tosses her head and the spark shoots off into the air, until it disappears.* Wait for it… *The sky ignites with a blinding white flash, momentarily outshining the sun.*

Even a small rock contains enough energy to obliterate a city the size of Manehattan. That was released outside the atmosphere.

We could try and teach it to you. Don’t be disappointed if you can’t manage it, though. We have heard Twilight Sparkle is the only unicorn born this century to have demonstrated the ability to use it.

Hmmm… If you hadn’t worn your sunglasses, We would have said it was the perfect crime. We don’t think We (or anypony else) have ever seen you without your sunglasses.

Yes, though it feels more fluid than an ordinary mane.

Of course! We will be right there.

We don’t know. Its not often We see a robbery carried out in full view of everypony.

Blood magic is a crude thing, but We suppose it is sometimes unavoidable… Having a few pints on hoof can’t hurt.

We suppose that will have to do. Though we take no responsibility for distinguishing you from other anons who might seek to impersonate you.
