He just isn’t as passionate as I’m used to. Better that than being too passionate.

Also, I shouldn’t have to say you’re an idiot, but I’m going to anyway.

You’re an idiot.

I can tell you right now you didn’t have a hoof in creating most spells, regardless of how you define “most spells.” But I said we’re not talking about this anymore.

That’s certainly an interesting idea, but I can’t say I favor reactive defense spells.

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the-

I’ve talked about this before. Relationships come down to three key aspects; physical, emotional, and intellectual. Most ponies favor one or two over the other. I personally lean toward physical and emotional in a partner, I can get intellectual stimulation elsewhere if need be.

As an aside physical isn’t necessarily intimate. Hoofshakes, hugs, high fives, friendly jabs, anything that physically connects you to somepony else. These are often brief, but significant.

The key to good relationships are finding ponies who can fill those needs, but one pony doesn’t have to fill them all. Boscov gives me physical and intellectual, but he’s not as strong emotionally. I can find my emotional stimulation from ponies like Sweetie Belle and Bon-Bon.

In short, the key to a good relationship lies in more than just the relationship itself. All relationships are tied together.

At least, if you’re an extrovert like me. Not sure if things work differently if you’re introverted.

Relatively. That is to say, I went to a regular school like a normal foal.

I didn’t do very well in anything other than math up until high school, though. Didn’t have time to study or do homework half the time.

Sure, I used to.

Not so much anymore. Shouldn’t have in the first place. Gets too expensive.

Certainly did. I thought it looked a little strange, but I couldn’t place why.

I get the feeling you know more than most, but I’m still not convinced you comprehend the full extent of what you speak.

But lets not talk about that anymore.

Not quite.

Hmm… I wonder how deep the rabbit-hole goes…

Don’t tell me. I just wonder.

Another highly important concern.

Just because you made a spell, doesn’t make it legal to use.

Best of luck to you. Obviously you’re going to want to make sure whatever spell you’re trying to make doesn’t already exist.

I honestly have no idea what kind of base this thing is going to have. A long time ago, I led a team, during the war, to capture a creature with highly regenerative powers because it was eating so many creatures and plants it would have destroyed the planet. When we caught it Princess Celestia said we had to contain it forever. So I made a spell to use its regeneration power on other ponies. The spell itself was powerful enough to contain the creature, but the problem was it was constantly degrading. So we took the creature’s incredible regeneration to fuel the spell. I had been using that spell until recently to heal and defend myself. I’m not too sure as to what I want to do for this new spell, but if you have any ideas, then that would be much appreciated.

A regen, huh?

Depending on who you talk to, one of the best ways to defend yourself is to remain undetected.

No idea if you wanted me to post this or not.

Interesting… Can you give me any specifics? I can keep a secret.

All for Lyra… All for Lyra!

Didn’t I answer this before fairly recently?

…

Yeah, I thought I did.
