After Twilight was done with the whole ticket freakout, I look at the time, 4:30 p.m, Twilight them turns to me and says, “With that whole mess out of the way, I was hoping to test you a bit.”

“Sure.” I reply.

And so we started some physical exercises, and I preform at about the average pony, advanced human, physicalness. Then we moved on to a ‘magic’ exam, brought on by saying,”You say magic dosnt exist on you world, or that it doesn’t exist at all, how about we test how the magic affects you.” And with this, I was hooked up to a machine to test ‘magic’ inside me.

After about 5 minutes of scans Twilight gets results and tells me them, “According to the results, you are absorbing the ambient magic in the air, it appears that you can control this, and that your body uses it for energy.”

“What does that mean for me? Will I be more energetic?”

After considering it for a few seconds she announces, “We will just have to preform a few tests.”

Leading me to a empty area, she casts a ball of light, “Now, listen to your body. Absorb the magic that ball is made of.”

And, from the reading I’ve done, I decide to just stick my hand out and try. It surprisingly works, and the ball of magic enters my hand, going through my skin. “Woah, that feels wonderful, I feel I can do so much more!” I then can see a dim shine on my face, and feel the magic rushing up there.

“Ulysses, your scars, they’re gone!” I reach up to feel at the familier feel of the scared tissue, and feel nothing. All the while Twilight is in the background ranting about the implications of this power, one part had my attention, “If you wanted too, you could even drain Celestia of the majority of her magic! As of now, Ulysses... your the most powerful thing to ever exist. I must preform one more test!” She then charges up her horn and fires it at me. The power! Oh, all that power! I could feel my blood, my bones, my every nerve! I could think, think things faster and smarter than anyone! I can see, every hair on Twilights body, every flaw, everything!

I feel the sudden need to start rearranging everything misplaced. And I do so. Everything in the room becomes ordered properly, and the best thing! I didn’t even spare much thought into it! No hand movement required, my mind just... made it!

Twilight stares awed and flabbergasted at my use of her magic, when she recovers she is only able to say, “You can preform magic as well. That was to be a simple stun spell! The Princess must hear about this. SPIKE! Take a note!”

I could hardly care about that, my mind is still to busy, and I stand there watching Twilight go up as I think and rearrange and preform.

Think of magic absorption like Cole McGrath from Infamous.
