19th E-Book: Truth Removes the Chains and Slaps on the Cuffs [Visual]

[magicalrealist]

I was in on Zetta's plan the whole time. I let myself be captured to play the role needed of me...and while I'm not proud of it, I still lied to all of you. I made you worry and I deceived you. I couldn't tell anyone, but that doesn't excuse what I did.

My word might not mean much, if anything, anymore, but...I'm sorry.

I've talked to Don and the Doctor about theirs. The Doctor thinks I might inherit a little bit of his time spell. It ages things quickly?

[magicalrealist]

...I'd be careful about using his magic, in that case. I haven't had much success with time magic, but as long as you don't try going back and forth in time, I think you'll be fine.

(Yeah, those were particularly rough times for her. The second one was especially brutal.)

I wouldn't do it intentionally. I haven't always been able to control what comes out when, though - I've certainly seen his aura a few times.

[Luckily, nothing happened then. There's a difference between their power being present and him actually activating their particular magical abilities, he supposes.]

[magicalrealist]

Then you should definitely learn to control what comes out. Maybe I can help you get started with magical meditation...

Princess Luna thinks it may get worse in times of stress. Which has...seemed to be true.

[He didn't notice himself behaving like any of his friends until he went off on Zetta like that. Did Twilight actually see that?]

[magicalrealist]

Most powers tend to function like that. Your state of mind has a lot to do with how your abilities function, so learning to control your emotions will help you control your magic.

(Which should be a lot easier with Mechakara out of the picture.)

[soulofblue]

[Indeed.]

I see. [Does denying and repressing his negative feelings count as controlling...?]

[magicalrealist]

(...No. Not exactly.)

It's complicated, I know, but I know you can do it. You love learning as much as I do.

(Though her own fondness juuuuuuuuust might add to Pollo's.)
