Maybe if you wrap it in the scroll tightly enough...?

Magic.

He's a dragon, and his fire is magical.

Thus, it can burn whatever the hell it needs to burn.

I wonder how much control he has over which type of fire comes out of his mouth. He's involuntarily used both at different points in the show

It would seem hiccups produce "teleport" fire, and sneezes produce "burny" fire. Presumably dragons have some funky tubing that allows them to produce either on demand.

I also wonder why his "teleport" fire only seems to deliver things to Princess Celestia. You could say that he has to think of a location before he sends it, but even during times where he wouldn't be thinking of Celestia it goes to her. (like with the hiccups)

Was his teleportation fire a power that Celestia GAVE to him? Or did he always have it and now he's kinda "synchronized" it to the princess, so it always goes to her?

I assume it's set as Default Target: Celestia since, well, is there *anyone* else who Twilight is likely to send a letter to? She doesn't seem to communicate much with her parents, and everyone else she likes lives within about a mile of her lodgings.

As for where he got it, I have no idea.

I just figured you can bind a dragon with teleportation fire to a certain location. He could rebind it elsewhere but there's no reason to. And I think it only works with gentle use of fire. After all whenever he aggressively casts a flame rather than just blowing it softly it burns something.

What's the worst that could happen anyways?

#25059 Red Savant Tue, 4th Oct '11 12:19:54 PM from Eastern US from Eastern US

I'd imagine that Spike's teleport fire can be keyed to a certain location/person - in most cases, Princess Celestia. In Dangerous Business, Twilight keys a vial of Spike's fire to herself.

Do you think Celestia has a dragon to send stuff back to Twilight, or does she use her own magic to do it.

If she can do it herself, why wouldn't she have taught that spell to Twilight? It would be VERY useful

There's probably some sort of magical attunement thingamabob that he went through, yeah.

Maybe it not that easy. That even most powerfull unicorn can't do this. Only Dragons and sun alicorn.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

#25063 Bagof Magic Food Tue, 4th Oct '11 12:27:07 PM

All these concerns are why I'm leaning toward the idea that it's not Spike's fire that's magical, but the letters which have "Teleport when burned" spells applied to them.

Or maybe Spike fire can send only special thing rest just burn?

Anything inside those scrolls can be sended.

Porbably not. Spike didn't seem to want to send those scrolls that he hicupped on to Celestia any time soon, so why would they have that spell on them?

More likely that it's the fire itself that's magical and attuned to the Pricness, such that it can "burn" stuff that isn't flammable and send it to her.

He had them all pre-addressed to save time later!

#25068 gingerninja 666 Tue, 4th Oct '11 12:32:23 PM from Aboard The Damocles from Aboard The Damocles

Maybe the scrolls themselves are made of something special?

A certain type of royal material that Celestia sends shipments of to Twilight every month or so?

If that was the case, he wouldn't have been able to send the vial of ink.

I'm going with what Death said: stuff INSIDE the parchment can be sent too. The burning parchment probably creates a small area of effect that transports anything close to it.

Well, they used pies as weapons in Over a Barrel

I'd consider that one of the most ridiculous moments in the series.

I like how the ponies were the only ones in any kind of danger in that fight

(well, to be fair, running headlong into an anvil's gotta be pretty damn painful for a buffalo)

on one side: Ponies throwing pies at the buffalo

on the other: Buffalo STAMPEDING the ponies to death!
