fullmetal alchemist???

The triangle is pointing downwards.  
It must be EVIL!

@MadVillan  
Depends on if you count Berrow books. In the recent Twilight one, she describes going over the words and rhythm of a spell in her mind, trying to get it just right. As opposed to what it looks like in the show: just concentrating and magic happens.

@Tszeb  
there gonna need more pony’s like way more for a complete stone

Wait a fucking minute, are they trying to make philosopher’s stone?!

@neo4812  
That’s actully a late 80s movie.

@sumbozo  
apparently not, great effects i swear the 90s had great and weird movies. also kinda reminds me of “the evil within”

@sumbozo  
The effect looks good, but God does it look silly.

Nothing good can ever come out of a summoning circle. Didn’t you guys ever see “The Gate”?  

Magic circles are canon now.

Now I activate… the Seal of Orichalcos!

Alchemy: The Science of Understanding, Deconstructing, and Reconstructing Matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the Law of Equivalent Exchange, the basis of all alchemy. In accordance to this law, there is a taboo among alchemists: pony Transmutation is strictly forbidden. For what could equal the value of a pony soul?

@dynamicv  
Even if it does, it’s not somthing you cast, so in this case it wouldn’t count at all.

@neo4812  
No! This will lead to the Ash Timeline!

no don’t do it! don’t do pony transmutation! you’ll just end up with most of your limbs gone and sunburst in armor. actually that sounds pretty cool, nevermind proceed

@dynamicv  
By strict definition, I wouldn’t say so.

@dynamicv  
Only the strongest potions.

monotone satanic chant aaaaaahhhhhh…all hail Dark Lord Grogarm for he shall rain evil upon the land. Let the end of ponykind commence and the waters fill with tears

@MadVillan  
There’s also potions, do those count as an alternative type of spell?

@northern haste  
Now I want to see that cross-over.

Looks like someone activated his trap card!  

@MadVillan  
There was MMC with spoken words, but beyond that, yeah.

After this episode Starlight will be a suit of armour and Sunburst will have robotic limbs

Is this the first time we’ve seen a canon different method for casting spells?

Oh, what are you fools doing now?
