>Be Twilight Sparkle >You had just thrown what was probably Anon out the window along with your giant place-mat >You really liked that place-mat, ones of that size are hard to come by >But that wasn't important right now, you had failed to cast the transformation spell >Oh, and Celestia only knows where Anon is or if he's still alive. You did throw him pretty hard at a 75 degree angle. But that wasn't what called imminently for your attention >You had underestimated how much mana the spell would need >Re-doing your spell calculations you spot your error >How in the world of Equis did you miss THAT? >The spell you had created was impossible to fully cast, simply put >It simply needs more mana than what theoretically exists to complete the transformation >From what little you recall of seeing Anon post unsuccessful transformation you conclude that the spell managed to get a little over halfway complete, and that if you were to add about your full reserve of mana would get it 3/4ths complete >But the last quarter of the spell requires more mana than exists in this universe >You could spend your entire life trying to write down the number, and never come anywhere close to completing exactly how much this part of the spell costs to cast >But maybe you did the math wrong again >You re-did your work, same conclusion >You re-did your work again, still same conclusion >By your 15th re-doing of your incredibly complex and lengthy spell you look out the window you had tossed Anon out of >Its dark outside now >And Anon is still out there “I'm sure he'll be okay for a night. I'll find him tomorrow, I mean how hard can it even be to be a snake anyway” >You go to sleep with all the plushies Fluttershy give you >As you go to sleep, you can't shake the feeling that they are all staring judgmentally at you
