So, while rewatching the intro to Magic Duel, something the shopkeeper said caught my attention. He said that the Alicorn Amulet was "one of the most mysterious and powerful of the known magcial charms."

There are more artifacts like it out there. Lots more, from the sound of things. That's actually a really cool worldbuilding detail hidden away like that.

If RD can do a Rainboom, Derpy should be able to do a Sonic Bubbleboom or something.

The two halves of the shockwave would be misaligned.
That would be running a punchline into the ground.

@J Teeth: Read the review. Liked how you called them out on Fluttershy's bad characterization in the episode. Good job on doing your homework and calling on past episodes.

@ Lurker

Now that is interesting. It makes me wonder what else is out there, and who made these things. I hope it's not just a Unicorn thing though. The other tribes deserve their bit.

@ JT

Or...yeah, it was just that. tongue

Oh it's the new guy! Hello! I don't think we've properly spoken yet! smile

Which begs the question, "What if Trixie bought more than one artifact?"

Collect all the magical charms, get a free prize. Also insanity.

@Rainbow: Thanks. Now I'm wondering what you'd think of the other ones. I love finding things that link episodes together like that.

I disagree that Fluttershy was at all characterized badly. Sure, she was scared, but it would be out for character for her not to be. The main difference here is that she wasn't given any time to gather her courage like she usually is, because time was critical. She was fine by the time she got to Zecora's place.

@ Apple: Twilight has "special eyes." [lol]

Fluttershy definitely could have used some Pony Valium throughout Magic Duel.

Zecora's dilemma.

The next most powerful charm is the Amulet of Slightly Shinier Magic, followed by the Amulet of Not Tripping Down The Stairs and the Amulet of Looking Silly Because You Wasted Your Money.
