Poll: Could Twilight go one week without using any magic?

[Singe 2,109]

So what are thoughts on probably the greatest challenge for the pony who does a lot of things with magic.

[DryGuy84 (Inactive) 927]

I think this could make for a great episode, actually. I'm gonna say yes, but it won't be easy for her.

[PsychedelicPony 440]

It'd be difficult for sure, but if it was something Celestia asked she wouldn't even think twice.

[CMQuickfireTK 751]

We'll see, if I can take on a week of using Windows 8 on another machine o' mine, despite being a *nixer, then yes, she probably can.

[Cwanky 17,455]

Easy yes. Twilight's the bookworm and overthinker. It is much easier for Twilight to NOT use magic than it is for Rainbow to NOT fly for a week. 

 

Not only could she occupy herself with books and other nerdy activities, she could just find a way, ANY way whether through her books or overthinking it, a means of getting by a week without magic.

 

And if somehow Twilight was so hopelessly incompetent that she couldn't turn pages or carry stuff around without magic she could just nag Spike to do all the heavy lifting for her.

 

 

I was kidding Spike. Owlicious will cover you during the night.

[Tigerpop198 696]

I think that she can, why not there are other things that are harder to, not do.

[Diva Pony 345]

I think she could but since she is so used to using magic in her everyday life it would be very difficult for her.  It would be like injuring a limb where you can't use it.  You really don't appreciate how difficult life would be without it.  Magic is very natural to her.

 

It would be almost as earth shattering as asking Pinkie Pie not to bounce......OK maybe not quite that earth shattering.

Twilight Sparkle is best pony, meaning she can do any and everything. Simple as that. ^^

 

Seriously though, I really think she could. I mean, she basically is the Princess of Magic, it doesn't mean she has to use it though. I know what you're trying to say though, it's like trying to kill a habit or stopping something you've done you're entire life. But it's only a week, and I know my girl Twilight could so it with ease.

[Flash Fire 386]

I don't know. I mean, she couldn't not use mgic for 1 day in Winter wrap up.....

[Malinter 3,064]

Yeah easy. All she has to do is make it a science project.

 

That said. I wonder if there is a side effect to not using magic, i mean its something they use without really thinking about except for more powerful specific spells.

[SharpWit 2,472]

If she needs something just have spike do it. I'm sure that she could strain through a week with no magic. any longer however i start having doubts.

[Rainboom Dash 1,055]

She'd probably just barely manage a week. A month would be a whole other story...

[Dattebayo 2,850]

lol no

Could any of y'all last a week without doing the thing that makes you YOU?

[Singe 2,109]

If it's a matter of pride, I just don't see Twilight pushing more of her burden on Spike and her owl.

 

I can see a funny setup where Celestia and Twilight will have to use a special coruier to send messages since using Spike to send letters would count as Twilight using magic.

[arkman575 312]

Here's how I see it. Unless she was physically unable to do magic, she couldn't last a week. I'm not trying to put her down, but mind, once in a routine, is stuck. If she opened the fridge, she would most likely levitate a carton of juice out just from habit.

[joecal97 340]

She could if she had to but I doubt it would be easy,or enjoyable

[Pastel 7,627]

That would make a great episode!

It'd be very difficult, if Spike is here to help her, then yes.

[ShadowPirateX 600]

Unless the fate of Equestria hangs in unbalance (again), i think she might manage.

[SilverStarApple 849]

She's survive a week, but she'd be a complete mess near the end of it. Remember Rarity during Winter Wrap-up?

[Ianpiersonjdavis 512]

I don't thinks she could unless she had a REALLY good incentive to do so, since she seems to do just about everything with Magic (it is her element, after all.)

 

But, if she had a really good reason to-then I think she's disciplined enough to pull it off-I think it would certainly be a challenge, though.

[Ribbonfree 2,383]

I think at this point, what with her increasingly becoming a mentor figure and filling her Princess role, I think she has the patience and discipline to pull it off. She'd definitely organize well for such a challenge if given the chance to, prepare plenty of tangible reminders and notes to not use magic, get her friends to help her with stuff. If anyone of the Mane Six is the sort who can tackle a challnege like this, it's probably Princess Twi.

[Red Cedar 1,407]

Twilight wasn't able to go a day without using magic in Winter Wrap Up. She'd go wall-bumping insane long before a week was up.

[Singe 2,109]

As an episode it could work if Twilight is just on her own, with no Mane 6 or helpers around.

[Castle Bleck 19,167]

In the words of Chuggaaconroy:

 

[Scootalove 10,684]

By now, Twilight has the self-control and patience to not use magic to solve her problems. So she is capable of doing so.
