Description
Finest Hour - Card Number 24: Twilight Sparkle, Task Mage

The spell Celestia had shown Twilight, the summoning ritual, was rather complex, but the various components was easy enough to gather. The tricky part would be finding the correct statue and alter inside the ruins, as well as identifying the right planes and alternative realities to contact, but that would be problems for another time. They had to get there first.

She then set her attention on other books, indulging in all the knowledge and spells she could find.

The first she found seemed limited in use. It just banished an extra planar being back to its home plane for some time, but it would be useful to return whatever allies they could find in the planes. Or if whatever creature they could call forth would prove to be unfriendly.

Another one she found was a more offensive spell, a spike of flame shooting up into a target from the very earth. Is seemed very brutal, but perhaps it could be used for something else. Like starting campfires and lighting torches. It all depended on how much energy she put into it: a little energy produced a small flame, while a lot of energy could, potentially, emulate the effect of a volcano.

The last one could dispel any enchantment there were on whatever object it targeted, be it a piece of enchanted equipment, a cursed area or just a general magic enhancement or curse on an individual. Before she left the library, she packed as many of the spell books she had not read as she could. Just in case.

Next piece of the story
(Yes, a mix of Twilight Sparkle and Jaya Ballard. And she will start to quote her as well.)

Finest Hour is the second part of a 3 part MTG expansion set, intended to tell an overall storyline through ponified Magic the Gathering cards, exploring the plane of Equestria and its struggle against a darker force invading it.
