Because that's the only way to do it. We'll share a keg...then. WAR!

I await the amusing proclamations of doom.

OH and here's Spectrum's character sheet fpor anyone curious of it.

Name: Astral Spectrum

Species: Unicorn

Gender: Male

Appearance: Cyan fur and pitch black mane and tail. Mane has streaks of grey through them, showing his age. Eyes are cobalt blue. Cutie mark is a magic circle that once held the colors of the rainbow but is now a faded grey. Center of the magic circle resembles a cat-like eye. Body has runes burned into it marking his dabbling in dark magic. Forelegs also covered in scars from his foalhood. Usually wears a dark brown cloak when not in his priest robes to cover his marks and scars.

Talent: His talent is his ability to scry, a rare form of magic which allows someone to see into the Aether. His magical sight is by far the best in MaS second only to Archmagister Twilight Sparkle’s. As well he is blessed with insight that has more than once brought him good fortune including his position.

Personality: Spectrum believes that if you want anything in this world you must work for it. He has little to no patience for those that waste his time. He despises laziness and pomposity and will put someone in their place when he deems it necessary. His brutal honesty puts him at odds with Head Inquisitor Lulamoon more often than not. Ironically there is a grueling respect between the two because they both came from humble beginnings as opposed to the rest of the Ruling ponies of Moon and Stars. Despite his high rank in MaS he doesn’t believe that unicorns are the superior race. His own apprentice is an earth pony that has shown herself extremely clever having broken out of the domes more than once. He rewards those who show tenacity, ambition, and most of all will to survive. In crisis he is calm cool and collected.

Spellbook:

Spectrum has mastered quite a few spells in his time. He has knowledge of Elemental magic and knows ice magic due to his position as High Priest of the Moon Guild. Umbramancy is one of is most skilled powers but his best spells reside in his Divination.

Breathe of the Windego: Surrounds large area in a bone chilling mist. Expelled from caster’s mouth. (Incanted)

Shadow Tendrils: Shadows rise around the caster into inky black tendrils. Once formed they can be either warm or chillingly cold. As well when the caster focuses the tendrils will send a shock of pain through the captured target.

Shade Warp: Caster teleports silently from shadow to shadow.

Other spells include basic levitation, an ice needle spell and a cold light spell.

Background: Spectrum was born in a small fishing village in the small broken Freelands across the Sea of Harmony. His mother was once a noble mare but upon his birth she was cast out for infidelity. From there she was forced to become a prostitute to survive. When Spectrum was born she blamed him for her misfortune and even went so far as to name him Jadno which in the Mother Tongue means ‘Pathetic‘. His life as a foal was that of pain. He scrimped for food and whenever his mother was lucid enough she beat him mercilessly.

After his thirteenth birthday and one particularly bad beating he went to the docks with the idea to drown himself and end his suffering. Instead Spectrum found himself stowing away on a vessel bound for Equestria. Sure enough he was found out and the captain wanted to throw him overboard but a scholar by the name of Dusty Tome saved his life. On the way to Equestria he taught Spectrum to read and even gave him his name.

Dusty found the young colt had a gift for languages and spells and had promised to take him to Canterlot and see him through school. A week before they made port though they were hit by a fierce storm. Sadly Dusty Tome was killed by one of the falling masts and when they came to port Spectrum was forced to escape lest the captain kill him. With nothing else to do and the scholar’s books in tow he set off toward Canterlot intent on making something of himself.

Along the way he taught himself to wield magic from the books. Soon enough he also found his talent along the way. Unfortunately it resembled his mother’s, much to his dismay. Upon coming to Canterlot he found a job as an apprentice to a lawyer named Valid Point. The old earth stallion saw a sly intelligence in the colt and on a hunch hired him. Within a year Spectrum had enough to enroll in the Celestial Magic Academy, with the help of a scholarship and no small thanks to Valid of course.

Here he met Silver Scalpel, a rival and lifelong friend. He looked up to Silver for his ambition and skill in the medical field and more than once had to really ‘step up his game‘ when it came to academic scores. Silver was the only one he trusted with his past, a sore subject for him. Within a decade Spectrum graduated with full honors and a Doctorate in Magical Theory. Even after that he continued to expand his knowledge of the magical field until he came into possession of hints of a powerful field of magic.

With his future secure when the House of Moon and Star Rose up he worked diligently to perfect spells within the Moon Guild and much of his Umbramancy he mastered under the Thestrals. he holds a high regard for their stealthy nature and has learned to fight magically from them. They respect him and within a few short years became High Presit of the Moon Guild, they became fiercely loyal to him.

Goals: Spectrum wishes to see Equestria return to its age of prosperity but wishes to see it done through the hooves of its people and not some God. Unfortunately his time his short as a debilitating disease threatens to end him before he can see Equestria united and prosperous. He is now in a race against time to seek his old friend whom he believes is the key to unlocking pony kind’s potential.

Astral's request is actually pretty reasonable all things considered, Scalpel was actually going to do a limited form of that anyway so it sort of fits into his longterm plans quite nicely. Scalpel will probably offer to give him a new form as a bonus anyway, - note: maintained self and soul, plus freedom of will included- simply because he feels he might as well reward someone who just gave him Immortality on a plate.

Immortality on a plate, rolled up into a sausage-shape, made of Divine Ivory.

...That sounded better in my head.

I prefer the description of "Divine Artifice" :P

Divine Donut-holder!

Divine marshmallow prong!

Now I can just imagine a very, very disgruntled Crashing sitting in front of a large bonfire, marshmallow on his horn and held over the fire, with an overly excited foal/filly/coat standing beside him, eyes fixed on the marshmallow.

Something tells me I'd like gods more if they did that from time to time.

Thats probably why I like Sweeper...

Does it count if I substitute swords for the horn?

Aaand posted. Primarily Theá this time. She hasn't had some action in a while. Amaretto will be up next when I feel like it xp

Also, Puppy Theá is a thing. One of my favourite ideas so far. I think a cocker spaniel would be what she transformed into.

I really want to see what happens if Amaretto meets Armifera, now that you've brought it up.

Add Crashing and it'll be a drinking contest for the ages.

EDIT: And now I've got to wondering if the other Alicorns aside from Thea would have shapeshifting powers of a sort...

I'll go contact my extended family and get a moonshine still.

I've a feeling this won't end well. Hmmm I wonder how a meeting between Armifera and Crashing will go.

I have a feeling you'll wake up with an epic hangover and discover I have conquered the world in your absence, and just be like "shit."
