*** To put that into perspective, Nyx had the body of a filly the age of the CMC, but none of the life experience to go with it. So when others made fun of her, it was a 100% unfamiliar sensation that she had no idea how to process as well as ''literally'' one of the worst experiences of her life. Of course she’d have strong reactions.

It was confirmed in Winter Bells that is was just a transfusion, and the reason Twilight was chosen was due to being powerful, but feasable to kidnap.

*** This troper just assumed that the blood thing was similar to Voldemort in the fourth Harry Potter book, when they take some of Harry's blood and add it to the potion to bring back Voldy with the added bonus that he can now touch Harry without pain. Basically, maybe Twilight wouldn't be able to attack Nightmare Moon by herself at all, and would NEED the Elements of Harmony to injure her?

I added my opinion to the discussion at hand.

* In the original edit of the story, Celestia took Nyx away from Twilight with the intent of testing to see if she was really Nightmare Moon--- and if she was, ''using magic to dispel her into oblivion.'' That's right; Princess Celestia was going to ''disintegrate a little filly into nothingness.'' This was so fridge-horrific, not to mention out of character, that the authors subsequently retconned it.

*** The blood transfusion bit doesn't really apply here. There's a difference between a small amount of blood being given to a person and a person being born/created/whatever with the blood as a base. Also, from the sounds of things it wasn't a catalyst, just Nexus trying to find a way to prevent the Elements of Harmony from working. Beyond that, it's open to interpretation. Anyone know if there's been WordOfGod on this issue?
***** As of the version I read, the blood was supposed to provide life-force or something; the ritual drained the life from the blood.
**** The authors (or at least one of them) has claimed that that Nyx isn't genetically related to Twilight. Considering they're really pushing for a "Nyx is Nightmare Moon reborn" story with their last edits, this might be another item that get's revised.

** Two things: one, Twilight had a bag over her head, so she probably doesn't know what her blood was used for. Two, one might argue that the drop of blood was merely a catalyst for the spell. Some might even argue that the drop of blood is more in tune to a blood transfusion. I'm pretty sure that donating blood to another person doesn't make the two related.

* Twilight tells Nyx to think of her as a mother, and goes for the whole adoption route. Did Twilight forget the part of the cultists' spell where they use her blood? If we follow how Nyx was created from her blood, then Twilight actually is Nyx's mother genetically.

** "Knowing Twilight and her mastery of magic, she would find a way to make the rainbow of light let Nyx's good side live": Twilight is a talented spellcaster, but she doesn't have total control over every aspect of magic. The only thing she knows how to do with the Elements is to use them as a shotgun with "Point This End At Evil" written on it. If Twilight gathers up her friends, points the Elements at Nyx, fires and messes up even a little, Nyx dies. Not a particularly heroic action, really.
