@Star Swirl: I wonder if there was any, ah, design to the artificial horn? Circuit- or nerve-like lines running over it to simulate the pathways magic could flow along?
I’ve studied unicorn horns before. The magic runs along channels of reinforced keratin. The nervous system is not fully exposed. If it was, filing horns would be extremely painful. I tried to duplicate the effects, but it’s not easy and I was told not to try again.
How the heck do one time spells even work anyways? Vancian Magic?
It depends. For example, in some cases, it would be roughly equivalent as channelling the spell automatically generates a blockage in the horn, preventing the same spell from being cast. Whereas in other cases, for example, the object upon which the spell was cast acquires an immunity to that type of magic.
Fascinating. I must investigate!
It took me days.
DAYS to read chapter 19. and all these people are capable of reading it THIS quickly
what the FUCK
Read at my own pace? Yes... my own... insultingly slow pace

you only have 3 chapters left, and two of them are rather short.
Build a fool proof system, and the world will create a better fool.

@Sera: I'm mostly in here at the moment. Star Swirl, want to join our video stream?
I think I'll pass on the stream today

To be fair Ginger, You are not the only one who has got upset at my fast reading speed...
The internet is the realm of chaos, but not all chaos is evil.
Doc Caramel was RIGHT there. Magic can turn Rocks into top hats yet it can't fix a fracture in a heartbeat?
I think we're kinda spoiled on Twilight in that we forget that most unicorns are low-level magic users that only have one or two specific abilities. For all we know, Doc Caramel's magic might have been limited to X-ray, or diagnosis, or something.
So there may only be one or two unicorns with a spell that can actually
heal with their magic, and logistically speaking they should save their energy for ponies on the brink of death. Especially compared to a bones that apparently heal on its own in a week or two.
Life is complex. It has both real and imaginary components.
Well Ace of Scarabs, it's possible that I made an error in construction due to my own clumsiness which caused a blockage. Unfortunately, that is not something easy to fix by myself.
EDIT: OOC:
It's kind of difficult for me to join a stream. I'll start watching about know and comment afterwards.

@Cookoo I've yet to find a person who reads slower than me.

I don't get why people get upset with crazy reading speeds. I usually just pretend to read through with everyone else if I've shot through the textbook ahead of everyone else back in school XD That or I doodle in it to kill time.
@Ace because (to me) you sound egotistical and smug and I find it VERY obnoxious

Great, now fucking COOKOO is fucking ahead of me.
I'm still behind you.
If there is anything that you are alone in thinking, it's "thinking that you're alone in thinking of your theories".
@Story not for long I bet

@Ginger, I was only pointing out I caught up, I didn't expect you to take it as an insult, I'm sorry.
The internet is the realm of chaos, but not all chaos is evil.
When do you read it anyway?

@Cookoo I'm just pathetic and bitter and nuts.
I've been trying to improve my reading speed for months to no avail. I ain't dyslexic, and dyslexic people can read faster than me
