Chapter 9: Chaotic Studies

It's been a while since I've written to you guys, and I truly am sorry about that. My studies with Discord have been rough, I have not taken a single day off, and I won't. I've learned about chaos magic, but it is all really complicated magic, most of it does not use my horn. It is an internal magic, like an earth pony's ability to grow plants and grow them to be delicious. A pegasus' internal magic is to walk on clouds and are the best ponies to control the weather. A unicorn's magic is external, and the horn is the best thing to conduct magic. However, some magic is purely internal magic, like chaos magic. Dragon magic is like that too. My point with this little lesson in magic, is that a creature that practices external magic, it is more complicated for him or her to perform internal magic. However, as a chaos bringer, eventually I can perform the spells no problem. I am capable of animating inanimate object and, for a short period of time, remove a unicorn's horn or a pegasus' wings. I can't create it though. Chaos magic does not allow matter to be created, rather it can rearrange and move matter easily. Let's take a unicorn horn, for example. The horn of a unicorn is made out of a special matter, it is similar to out hooves. It is only found naturally in a unicorn's horn and it is an excellent conduit of magic. So, I can't create another horn for a unicorn unless I take it from another unicorn. Same for pegasus wings. I could give a pegasus bird wings, but he or she wouldn't be able to fly. Pegasus wings are specificly designed for a pony's body. The animation of an inanimate object is simply rearranging the make-up of the object and bending it to my will. It is very simple, really. It was the first thing Discord taught me, and we have worked up from there.

I also need to clear something up. I can not manipulate ponies like Discord can. He is the spirit of chaos, while I am simply a conduit. What I mean by that, is that my existence is not because of a natural element. Here is the list of beings and their elements.

Discord-Chaos
Celestia-The Sun
Luna-The Moon
Cadence-Love
Twilight-Friendship

Here are the elements of Harmony:

Kindness-Fluttershy
Loyalty-Rainbow Dash
Honesty-Applejack
Laughter-Pinkie Pie
Generosity-Rarityw
Magic-Twilight Sparkle

However, this is going to be a quick update. It's late and I'm tired. I really just wanted to let you know that I am still alive. I'm fine, really I am. Ember has been doing a few studies of his own. I believe he is trying to understand magic better, and I'm happy for that. I also wanted to thank all of you. Special thanks to the five that have followed my story and the two that favorited. Thank you so much for your support! I hope you continue to enjoy my story. Well, good night everypony! Ember and I are going to get some sleep.
