Warcraft is Magic

Perspective Azok

Location

        The Doctor walked briskly through the streets of Ponyville, I followed closely at his heels. He suddenly stopped as we came to a large box sitting curiously in the middle of the town. The box was at least eight feet tall, three feet across, and was coated in a deep blue. He walked up to a door on the box and knocked four times, to which the box responded by opening its door. The room seemed to grow around me as I entered the doorway; this room was almost 30 feet across, 15 feet tall, and completely circular. After observing the room, I dropped my gaze back to the doctor, who was standing with a wide grin.

“Well... what do you think of my house?”

        “Ehh I've seen bigger.”

        “But, but it's bigger on the inside. Doesn't that surprise you.”

        To answer his question I pulled out my backpack and emptied it to the ground: three sets of armor, seven extra weapons, five months worth of butter toast, and two and a half severed heads. “Ya, bigger on the inside, it's amazing.”

        “Well you could have at least acted surprised.”

        “Sorry. So about these tests; what are they exactly?”

        “Well I heard from some ponies around town that you can do magic. Would you mind demonstrating?”

        The doctor smiled, then beckoning me with his hoof, began walking down a tunnel. I was quick to follow him as he led me down a series of hallways leading every which way, until we got to an open room adorned with what I presume were practice dummies. The dummies themselves were nothing more than garbage cans with shawty eyestalks; on the sides of the rooms there were a few weapon racks with guns and some melee weapons. One of them melee weapons was a sledgehammer, and bright red spikes protruded from from its sides.

        “Can I use that one” I asked while pointing to the red mace.

        “Well I can't use it so go ahead, but first I need to put some sensors on you.”

        After several minutes of odd touching I was wired up to a weird machine that would track my magical output.

        “Ok now I want you to go through your normal rotation of combat spells and stop when I say ‘stop’. Ready?”

        “Sure thing Doc.” I readied my weapon and charged. I smashed one of the targets with a judgment spell and caved in another one with a swing of my new mace. I heard the sound of gears turning behind me I spun around to see the already destroyed Dummies rebuilding themselves. There were about five of the Dummies surrounding me. I readied my new weapon and swung it like a baseball bat it created a wave[1] that spun around me damaging all the Dummies; I then slammed my mace to the floor causing tendrils of light to finish off the rest of the Dummies.

        “STOP.”

        “Finally. I've been smashing those damn things for an hour.” I slumped on the floor trying to catch my breath from my recent exercise.

        “Well im sorry, but I had to try and get as much data as possible. You are very interesting, you have two sets of veins running through your body: one for blood and one for magic. The magic veins start at the fur on your body, and run to the middle of your chest, then to your hands. It doesn’t seem that you can generate magic normally. How do you do it.”

        “I absorb the rays of the sun, why?”

        “I have honestly never met something like you, and that is saying something. It’s almost as if the second set of veins were implanted later so that you could do magic. Well I can do more research with the data that I have collected. You can go now if you want.”

        “Didn’t you say you were going to pay me?”

        “Oh yes, go to the local bank and check your bank account. You can have that weapon too, if you want.”

        “I don’t have a bank account here.”

        “Yes you do.”

        “Welp I’m gonna go; I still need to get something to eat by doc.”

        “Good bye.”

        It took me a while, but I made it out of that mad box thing. When I got out, I look up to try and find out the time, but the sun hadn’t moved. How strange. I decided to see if the crazy Dr had told the truth and headed off to the bank. I arrived to a large marble building with several pillars outside and large double doors leading to the inside. The inside matched the outside; it had several pillars in the center of the room that the tellers would be doing work out of. I slowly approached one and they asked for my name.

        “A Z O K” the teller looked at me with a strange face for a second “Something wrong?”

        “No sir it's just that was the first account ever made here any way the current balance is 100000 gold bits.”

        “Is that a lot?”

        “Yes.”

        “I'm just going to leave that there for now.”

        “Very well sir and have a nice day.”

        “You too.”

        On the walk home many things went through my head: when was Vinny going to get back, how had a bank account under my name been set up in the past, and what was I going to do to stave off the boredom?

        I decided to go try and find the Cutie mark Crusaders as they screamed in my ear more than once, to see if they need any help the first problem was going to be finding them. It took me a while, but I eventually heard Apple Bloom's voice from behind a building.

        “What are we going to do? I think its broken.”

        “Well if you wouldn’t have let go of the rope, you would have been fine.”

        “Its not mah fault, ya know I’m afraid of heights.”

        I popped my head around the corner and saw Applebloom laying on the ground with one leg stretched and Scootaloo and Sweete Belle standing over her “Hey, everything ok?”

        “No. Applebloom broke her leg in one of Scootaloo’s crazy stunts.”

        “I can fix that.”

        “You can? How? Are you going to use your weird magic on it or something.”

        “Yup, now stand back a bit” I noticed that Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo had some scrapes and bruises on them to so I decided to try one of my less used spells. I started to rub my hands together like I would with any healing spell but instead of pressing them to Applebloom I spread my hands arms length apart and slapped them together[2]. A pulse of light expanded from my hands healing all the scrapes and bruises and even Applebloom’s leg.

        “What was that?”

        “Holy Radiance, haven’t used that in a while, mind you, so I'm pleased with the results. So now that you don't have to worry about Applebloom’s leg, wanna go do something? I’m bored.”

        “Well we were going to try and get our Cutie Marks in engineering next, think it’s the safest idea?”

        “I have been meaning to ask, what is a Cutie Mark?”

        “It’s the mark that appears on the flank of a pony when they find what they are good at.”

        “Now back to the Engineering idea; I will have you know that I am a grand master Engineer, I can build almost anything out of a couple of spare parts. I even built a tank one time. It exploded, but it worked for a while at least.”

        “Does this mean you’ll help us get our Engineering Cutie Marks!?”

        “Well I’ll try.”

        “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS ENGINEERS.”
