The Science of Magic
Lyra is just good enough at magic to be dangerous, and more than unlucky enough to unstone Discord as a result. Chaos magic is stolen, books are overdue, and lyres are used as clubs.
Lyra may be a musician at heart, but that doesn't mean that she can't try other hobbies, right? If only she could find a hobby that doesn't accidentally bring about the utter destruction of Equestria...
When she attempts a summoning spell that goes horribly awry, Lyra manages to break Discord free from his stone prison. The ensuing snowball of unfortunate events leaves her imbued with the power of chaos at her hooftips.
