--> Fluttershy almost hurt to look at. It wasn't her luminosity, carefully set to a level soft and pleasant for any eye. It wasn't the Torc of Kindness, with its insipid diamond butterfly. It was the tooth-rotting aura of love and acceptance that wafted off of her like a cloying perfume.

----> the details, the deviations from the norm, began to register. Silver shone on her hooves, flowing up her legs here and there like a stretching axon or an exploring slime mold. A hint of the same was visible now and again in her tail, as though the flesh beneath the hair had become metal. Her horn was similarly metallic, in addition to being longer and sharper than was acceptable for polite society. A crown of some sort rested on her head, or perhaps it extended from it. The line between jewelry and scalp seemed oddly blurred. Most disturbing of all were her eyes, matte spheres of solid black, swallowing any light that fell into them.

* WhateverMancy: From multiple stories:
** ''Sideboard of Harmony'': Pumpkin Cake is an ontolomancer. By altering the moment of OntologicalInertia, she can make intangible concepts "real enough to sit on", render herself [[PerceptionFilter totally unnoticable]], and undo spells by subjecting them to gradual existence failure.
** ''My Little Praetor'':
*** Laughter magic is also called thaliamancy, named after TheMuse of comedy. It's explicitly described as not making sense.
*** At high enough levels, honesty magic, or alethiomancy, is inherently incompatible with fiction, which is ultimately an elaborate form of lying. In one blog entry, [=FanOfMostEverything=] wonders if this is the reason behind the "Applejack is best background pony" meme.
*** From [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/29275/11/my-little-praetor-phthisis-is-magic/house-call "House Call"]], narcissimancy, vanity magic:
----> Neither saw the narcissimancy grant the wish that burns in every dragon's heart: "Let there be none greater than I."

* AnAesop: The epilogue gives us a friendship report from Twilight, which gvies us two:
** Never assume your friends can't help you with a hard problem, even if it seems outside their expertise. Not only can a fresh perspective sometimes be more valuable than seemingly essential knowledge, you may be surprised by what people you thought you knew are really capable of when they put their noses to the grindstone.
** Always keep your heart open to people who have made mistakes in the past. You never know what they've been doing since, or how they've tried to correct their past wrongs. Sometimes, these efforts can be incredibly draining, and they can seem pointless when those people are surrounded by others getting along just fine. Then more than ever, these repentant people need a friend, and you should be there for them, ready to forgive, forget, and forge a new bond.
** In a reponding letter, Celestia adds another one; a virtue exercised immoderately becomes a vice.



* SlipperySlopeFallacy: {{Inverted}}: Apparently, it's an actual rule of magic (refered to as the Law od Precident) that once something has happened once, it becomes much easier to make it happen again. This is why the Harmonic elementals are so dangerous: If they are allowed to stick around, other abstract concepts will start becoming incarnated, and Ungula is already so far tilted towards the "fantastical" end of the planar spectrum that that one additional step might cause the entire plane to lose cohesion.
