presentation + performance (flashy) or presentation + bluff (realistic) for Stray's illusions.
Flashiness first,and I got two successes.
It's sufficient, but not particularly impressive.
Stray Thoughts frowned in dissapointment.
"Well. Dang"
His horn lit up once more
Same spell, six successes

Much better! It looks really awe-inspiring now.
Stray Thoughts smirked.
"Now for the second one."
five successes for the realistic one.
It looks very believable!
Rhyme put her hooves together for another round of clapping. "The first attempts were a bit shaky, but I think you've got it down right now. Hmm... There is still one issue in terms of effects." she said.
Would surrounding other ponies with light be a potential use for the Light series of spells?
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Sure. I'll allow it.
"So on a lot of staged productions they use spotlights to show the cutie mark switch effect, after all you can't see a cutie mark from stage most if the time. I could use my light spells to simulate that effect." Rhyme suggested
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Craft and Intelligence is 8d10... so the result is a 5
Exist, pursued by bearRhyme gave out a long sigh. "I think the Princeess will be back soon. Anything else we should do before her return?" Rhyme asked.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing."Why, that's a lovely clock, my little pony. Thank you for the honour of making it and showing it to me!"
(This was a big deal, so 3 CP)
Lost did his best to look at the schematics without intruding too closely on Princess Celestia's personal space. He leaned in and stared at it blankly for a few moments, dazzled by the complexity of the device. He tilted his head one way, and then the other, before finally pulling back with a disappointed look on his face. "I'm afraid that I can't actually make heads or tails of this thing..." He turned to Cotton Fluff. "Cotton, you're a bit more familiar with mechanics than I. What do you think?"
Cotton was squinting at the schematics, and slowly started shaking her head. "I know a thing or two about machines from running the textile mills, but this is beyond me."
Lost's frown faded, relieved that he wasn't the only one in over their head. "Well, if Princess Celestia's says it's well designed, than it must indeed be an expertly crafted piece of machinery!" He looked to the creation's creator. "Well done, Filigree!"

XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!Filigree blushed. "T-thank you."
Exist, pursued by bear"It is clearly worth the praise. Is the next stop the concert that I've been hearing about?" asked Celestia.
"Echo, you seem to be a natural fit for Fluttershy personality wise and don't do much dancing, but I think you still need a little help. How about I style your hair like her? It isn't too far off from your normal hair." Rhyme said.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Lost's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. Oh horseapples, the concert! I forgot! he thought to himself. He did his best to regain his composure as he turned back to Celestia. "Y-yes, your highness, that is correct! I do believe that Rhyme Beat and her friends are setting it up near town hall! If you would please follow me?" He turned and began trotting in that direction. And I haven't practiced at all... I'm just going to have to wing it, I suppose...
XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!"W-What is wrong with my hair?" Echo wondered.

"It's lovely hair Echo." said Rhyme. "It's just best it looks like Fluttershy's. Just like I styled mine to look like Twilight." she said. "We'd need to act fast though. Are you OK with this?" she asked
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Echo nods in responce.
"Allright!" she said as she got to work on Echo's mane.
Craf+ Dex 4, 8, 7, 10, 8, Reroll: 6. So that's 5 points.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.An excellent imitation of Fluttershy's flowing locks.
"You look wonderful Echo. I think we're all set up. All we gotta do is wait." Rhyme said. "Do your best everypony." Rhyme said.

"Right best to practice this before we do that." she said bracing herself, getting ready to run.
