Okay, /co/lts and fillies, let's clear this up right now.
I primarily study Unicorn Magic. It is a natural phenomenon, an ability of Unicorns such as myself, in the same way that Pegasi and Griffons can walk on clouds. It has specific visible effects, and follows specific rules.
There are scientific areas of study in the field. Where does mass come from, and where does it go, when materials are enlarged or reduced in size? Why is concentration of various sorts required for certain Magical activities, such as transmutation, while others, such as teleportation, can occur seemingly spontaneously, or in times of distress?
I also study Dragon Magic, but since I'm not a Dragon, I can't use it myself. Spike is my aide, and is very helpful in describing his experiences with his own innate abilities.
Let me make it clear: horns are scientifically proven to be the only source of Unicorn Magic.
So when Pinkie Pie started displaying pseudo-Magical abilities, I was obviously intrigued, and a bit weirded out. (Okay, you all saw me; a LOT weirded out.) I thought my studies had been all for nothing. After a day or so to think about it, I realized I had gone about my testing all wrong. The machine was designed only to seek the electromagnetic/gravitic effects that Unicorn Magic produces.
Pinkie Pie's "Pinkie Sense" instead appears to be co-incidental with the events she predicts. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it has something to do with quantum closed timelike loops. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised at much, by this point.
I'm glad she opened my eyes to my incomplete view of the world, and reminding me that being scientific doesn't mean knowing everything about something, it just means knowing enough. |
