Star Swirl the Bearded’s Guide to the Arcane Arts
My name is Star Swirl the Bearded, archmage of the crown. And these are the stories of my life, my deeds and my experiences with magic in all of it´s forms. Thou may follow me, as I asks myself the one true question: What is magic?
What gives a pegasi the ability to fly? In what language does the soil speak, when it talks to an earthpony? And what power does a unicorn may posses, so it can create things out of nothing?
To this question I have devoted many, many days and nights of my long life and I only found it right at the end of said life to write down all my experiences and to share them with the world.
Or, to be more precise: With you, dear reader.
Follow me with my adventures to distant cultures, different kinds of magic and in the end; witness the birth of a nation of which I can only hope to last in peace forever.
Important note!
I changed the story's status to 'cancelled' due to the fact that I am going to fully revise it.
