Char limits

Recommended Posts

I was wondering something and that somethign is the limits you can go with different chars in CC

Can a Earth pony have some kind of in magic that helps it with its Farmign or something

Can a Pegasus have magic? Like would it be ok if maybe fire for example, that can he be used to make like a flame aura?

They are just two examples, though is this idea able to work on those two species plus the rest of the cahrs you can play. This is for CC.

Thanks for reading :)

As the RPH who is actively working on the magical lore, I'll field this one and give you a brief explaination.

There are basically two sorts of magic... active and passive. Active is what we see unicorns possess. Magic that can be seen and manipulated very directly. Pegasii and Earth Ponies manifest in more passive ways, things that allow them to interact with their environment.

To be clear... almost /all/ creatures have some form of magic or magical aptitude.

So your first example is EXACTLY the kind of magic an earth pony might have. Since they are known to have a close connection with the earth.

Your second however is further outside the realm of possibility as it is not something that we have seen any pegasus capable of. So while in CC they might be able to create a flame trail (ala RD's rainbow trail), creating a flame aura would not be something so easily done.

And just to drive this home, the magic that would be used in this scenario would be very passive, non-visual sorts of magic.Assume that every time you see Aj working in the fields, she is being a magical little workhorse.

I have an OC earth pony who is a geologist. Her earth pony magic allows her to pick up vibrations in the ground, and tell you what is underneath. Think Toph without the earth bending :P That kind of magic for an earth pony is acceptable.

Ha, she is a brutal earthbender. GO THE BLIND BANDIT....

Would it work if you had a earth pony with abilitys like hers?

No. That is active magic, as it would be basically telekinetic manipulation of the earth. What Corsy meant was that his character had her ability to feel vibrations in the earth, which is passive.
