Good evening afternoon morning, or night to all you guys watching the video
My name is Moliminous and join me as we go ahead and tackle one of the topics that I've been in the fandom
for quite a while if you want to make your character Edgy
or you want to add some sort of intense drama to a
Fanfiction or fan animation one of the best things to do is have the character lose
one of the limbs that are important to them. If they're an Earth pony make it be a hoof or a hind leg.
If they're a pegasus make it be a wing, and if they're unicorn make it be a horn
But one of the things that have always been in fandom is does a horn still work
even when it's broken. You see the show says everyone possesses inerts magical properties, but a unicorn horn
Simply seems to be like a focal point so don't they still have the magic?
But is it like nothing a jar of jelly with a lid that never comes off?
It's still there
But you'll never get to it recently one of the new characters from the my little pony movie is kind of answering this question
At least some what you see Tempest Shadow it has a broken horn
And it's quite visibly broken it has sparks of magical energy that radiates off of it
And it seems to bubble over with power and yet
We don't see her ever actually using it. It seems as though
She prefers hand-to-hand combat broken horns are
extremely, odd simple
They are probably some of the worst things that could happen to a person they visibly make me cringe
It's like an artist losing a hand something that everyone's paranoid about if you use your hands a lot
And it's something that you may think about more than the average person
I know artists who learn to use both hands simply puts are scared of losing their dominant one
People who take extra care of their eyes because they don't want ever lose their vision or their sight.
I'd imagine it'd be the same thing for
Unicorns who are particularly
tied to their magic such as Twilight Sparkle, but could a unicorn still use their magic without their horn. Well, there's been some
Instances as we've seen where we can actually see the magic build up to the very apex of the horn
Such as in the grand galloping gala episode where discord joins them with the smoosh
Celestia's horn is actually covered in the goop and
while she's trying to power up a spell it eventually travels all the way up her horn to the very tip and
It's stopped by the bubbles
It seems like it's not exactly that the horn needs to all be there for it to happen, but that it is a gradual process
kind of like
picture this a hose well a hose can become a
Precision shooting water squirter if you make the nozzle more narrow if you make it longer you
See you can create more pressure build up creating a stronger force, but if you took that off
And you had just the stump of a hose the water would still come out which would spray everywhere?
I think horns are kind of simple for more precise, precision based spells
You'll need your full horn, but if your spell is simply to cast a bunch of magical power out at a target,
then I don't think you really need precision
It's like a shotgun versus a sniper
They both get the job done
but it just depends on how you can use them still must be an incredibly painful experience and
The dramatizing one at that to have something so essential to your life
be taken away from or even damaged
Pegasi don't seem to have the same luxury as we see that rainbow dash needed a mechanical wing to continue flying and
For Earth ponies what we've seen Earth ponies in wheelchairs before I guess it's a little different when you're talking about literally just breaking
Off a limb or breaking the bone, but I think unicorns with their broken horn
Still have magical properties
They can still do some raw magic abilities like levitation even or just energy blasts
but they probably won't be able to tap into more precise those like time travel or
teleportation perhaps. Things that require very precise timing and a very precise amount of magic.
But hey, that's just my theory let me know what you guys think down below
