WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.879 Hey guys, if we reach a thousand likes, we'll be giving out two of our new shirts! 00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.639 All you got to do is click Like, subscribe, and turn on notifications. 00:00:06.220 --> 00:00:12.260 Good evening afternoon morning, or night to all you guys watching the video 00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:18.119 My name is Moliminous and join me as we go ahead and tackle one of the topics that I've been in the fandom 00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:21.119 for quite a while if you want to make your character Edgy 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.700 or you want to add some sort of intense drama to a 00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:30.240 Fanfiction or fan animation one of the best things to do is have the character lose 00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:36.940 one of the limbs that are important to them. If they're an Earth pony make it be a hoof or a hind leg. 00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:42.180 If they're a pegasus make it be a wing, and if they're unicorn make it be a horn 00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:48.450 But one of the things that have always been in fandom is does a horn still work 00:00:49.180 --> 00:00:56.309 even when it's broken. You see the show says everyone possesses inerts magical properties, but a unicorn horn 00:00:57.129 --> 00:01:01.379 Simply seems to be like a focal point so don't they still have the magic? 00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:05.939 But is it like nothing a jar of jelly with a lid that never comes off? 00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:07.049 It's still there 00:01:07.049 --> 00:01:14.100 But you'll never get to it recently one of the new characters from the my little pony movie is kind of answering this question 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:19.280 At least some what you see Tempest Shadow it has a broken horn 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.860 And it's quite visibly broken it has sparks of magical energy that radiates off of it 00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:30.150 And it seems to bubble over with power and yet 00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:34.829 We don't see her ever actually using it. It seems as though 00:01:34.829 --> 00:01:38.609 She prefers hand-to-hand combat broken horns are 00:01:39.670 --> 00:01:41.759 extremely, odd simple 00:01:42.220 --> 00:01:48.059 They are probably some of the worst things that could happen to a person they visibly make me cringe 00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:56.810 It's like an artist losing a hand something that everyone's paranoid about if you use your hands a lot 00:01:56.810 --> 00:02:00.560 And it's something that you may think about more than the average person 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.860 I know artists who learn to use both hands simply puts are scared of losing their dominant one 00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:13.680 People who take extra care of their eyes because they don't want ever lose their vision or their sight. 00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:16.240 I'd imagine it'd be the same thing for 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.560 Unicorns who are particularly 00:02:19.530 --> 00:02:27.410 tied to their magic such as Twilight Sparkle, but could a unicorn still use their magic without their horn. Well, there's been some 00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:35.540 Instances as we've seen where we can actually see the magic build up to the very apex of the horn 00:02:35.819 --> 00:02:41.029 Such as in the grand galloping gala episode where discord joins them with the smoosh 00:02:42.140 --> 00:02:45.720 Celestia's horn is actually covered in the goop and 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:53.100 while she's trying to power up a spell it eventually travels all the way up her horn to the very tip and 00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:55.640 It's stopped by the bubbles 00:02:55.709 --> 00:03:03.409 It seems like it's not exactly that the horn needs to all be there for it to happen, but that it is a gradual process 00:03:04.079 --> 00:03:05.579 kind of like 00:03:05.579 --> 00:03:09.259 picture this a hose well a hose can become a 00:03:09.870 --> 00:03:17.269 Precision shooting water squirter if you make the nozzle more narrow if you make it longer you 00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:23.359 See you can create more pressure build up creating a stronger force, but if you took that off 00:03:23.359 --> 00:03:29.569 And you had just the stump of a hose the water would still come out which would spray everywhere? 00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:34.920 I think horns are kind of simple for more precise, precision based spells 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:43.000 You'll need your full horn, but if your spell is simply to cast a bunch of magical power out at a target, 00:03:43.380 --> 00:03:45.889 then I don't think you really need precision 00:03:46.470 --> 00:03:48.799 It's like a shotgun versus a sniper 00:03:49.350 --> 00:03:51.350 They both get the job done 00:03:51.630 --> 00:03:57.809 but it just depends on how you can use them still must be an incredibly painful experience and 00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:04.079 The dramatizing one at that to have something so essential to your life 00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:08.160 be taken away from or even damaged 00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:17.220 Pegasi don't seem to have the same luxury as we see that rainbow dash needed a mechanical wing to continue flying and 00:04:18.010 --> 00:04:25.769 For Earth ponies what we've seen Earth ponies in wheelchairs before I guess it's a little different when you're talking about literally just breaking 00:04:25.770 --> 00:04:30.600 Off a limb or breaking the bone, but I think unicorns with their broken horn 00:04:31.210 --> 00:04:33.210 Still have magical properties 00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:39.929 They can still do some raw magic abilities like levitation even or just energy blasts 00:04:40.380 --> 00:04:46.100 but they probably won't be able to tap into more precise those like time travel or 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:54.640 teleportation perhaps. Things that require very precise timing and a very precise amount of magic. 00:04:55.140 --> 00:05:00.020 But hey, that's just my theory let me know what you guys think down below 00:05:00.700 --> 00:05:06.209 I've been faithful Moliminous.
