The First Law of Magic

by Jest
A prodigal child is born once more with a strange condition that makes her uniquely gifted in a lost magical art. Unfortunately for the child, that art is soul magic and Celestia does not tolerate the manipulation of a soul under any circumstances.

Twilight Sparkle was born with a very strange disease, one that doctors were never able to cure. One which has made her powerful but also painted a target on her head that a certain alicorn cannot ignore. Though it seems as though destiny has given her the short end of the stick in this life in the next, well, things might just turn around.
