Midnight_Aurora

@Blitz Boom, *Cosmic nods and says,* "You probably won't believe me but let's just say my birth name this time around isn't of the names normal to this land. But the name I gave is mine none the less. A name I haven't used in several rebirths. By flame of rainbow one is judged. And by the same flame one is reborn. My power currently unavailable. My knowledge not accurate. But totally defenseless I am not. My hooves and these wings are good to deter or evade. However, against the cult, I do not know. However, if you could look at this, it may help. It is one of the scrolls I took when I left. It looks to be a ritual of some kind." *He gives uses a hoof to grab his bags from beside his bed. He then uses a wing to retrieve a scroll. The scroll Dark as the night and covered in midnight Blues and silver. What is inside is known only to those who look.*

@Blitz Boom, *Cosmic seems to think for a moment. He then takes what can be received as a calming breath.* "My name isn't important right now. However, you can call me Cosmic. This state of being may have been brought about by what the cult did to bring me here. It's a long story. I kinda figured my power had an overload. As for what caused my current state, It was a magic surge caused by my power going out of control. As for the cause of the surge, even I don't know. However, if my Chain of Memories is a relevant source, I am not meant to be here and will need to reclaim some Items the royal sisters, Celestia and Luna, currently have in their possession." *Cosmic tries to get out of bed but collapses back onto the bed because of his weakened state.* "Bucking Tartarus.......I guess Mana Exhaustion weakens one's overall physical capability." *He then lays there with a slightly defeated look. Even his wings look to droop in the same look.*

@Blitz Boom, That can happen. As for the Spell Matrices themselves. It could also be said that they are his personal way of casting spells. Spell Matrices are in essence a focus for casting. They can simplify the complications of spellcasting but at a cost. This cost is the time needed to form one spell matrix for a given spell. However, sense Silverwing himself has before existed in Equestrian history but has asked for his part in history be removed, only the sisters, or Celestia alone, would still remember who and what he is. They would also have the knowledge of his spell matrix spellbooks' location. @Blitz Boom, @All who it applies, At this point in time however, Silverwing can be cured of the mana exhaustion. Though, his ability to use magic would require a different approach. To regain his magic, he would technically need to reconnect with the source of his magic. I.E. He would probably need to locate and reclaim one of the other two Matrices. Even if he can't yet remember how to harness the matrix, having it would create the needed connection to reawaken the matrix inside him. This would effectively restore his ability to change forms and awaken his next form which utilizes magic in the form of a equivalent level 5 Mage Knight or equivalent level 5 Duskblade. If ya need more knowledge on the classes themselves which are in essence blanced with their abilities and stuff. I can find and post the links to the classes, for you to browse at your leasure, here. Just say the word. On the note of the Darklings. They alone would would be the master manipulators and thus try to control as many and as strong as possible beings. However, their limiter is. The fact that they need yo have others already under their thrall in order to command stronger willed beings. They effectively create their own hive mind network and use it as a means to usurp the wills of others, by linking them via spell to their hive mind. Also, they have tovirtually be very powerful to even take the minor cannon background ponies, ex. Vinyl Scratch/Octavia or Lyra Heartstrings or even the stubborn, more main stream, Big Mac. It would take years and hundreds of linked beings for one Darkling to even usurp the stubborn will of the multiple headed hydra. Cacora's counter, Aka The Lightlings, wouldn't usurp the will of others. They strive to protect that will. And without even realizing it, Cacora started her version of the hive mind Network, Aka the Friendship Cacoons, as a more means of countering attempts by the Darklings to usurp the wills of those originally from Ponyville. So while those cacoons also serve as Cacora's energy reserves and a way for both her to know of their wellbeing or general overall health and her linked friends to know about her general overall health. Which in essence means all the linked friends of Cacora, just got a bad feeling that Cacora isn't doing very well. They can't tell why she isn't but that something bad has happened to her. I will make a post about it happening, once I can make my next post.

@Blitz Boom, *It is about the half way point in their examinations that they discover two things. One somepony has had one heck of a magic surge recently. Two, their mana reserves are dangerously low, I.E. mana exhaustion, and those reserves are now almost blocked off.* *Something has sealed the magic within this pony. But from what they see, he is a Unicorn with magically augmented/created wings. The wing's color doesn't match his coat. The Cutiemark on him is a pony shaped magical device of some kind. It looks almost like this Unicorn specializes in the shaping and crafting of magic to a varying degree.* *It doesn't take them long to stabilize his mana flow, but his actual ability to use magic is another story. What ever is blocking his magic reserves, is also preventing the mana from flowing properly within him. Unless the seal itself is broken or undone, he will not be able to use any magic.* *Sometime after his treatment, Cosmic comes to and yawns as if he is feeling better. But he still has a headache from Tartarus.* "What the buck happened? Where am I?" *He asks randomly, still disoriented from what happened to him.*

@Blitz Boom, *Cosmic looks like he wants to rouse but something is preventing him from doing so. He lays on the bench and is glad somepony thought to take him to the doctor. In a very quiet voice he tries to say,* 'Thank you.' *However, it comes out as if he is mumbling something. It still shows he is conscious. However, with his weakened magic state even his physical nature is temporarily paralyzed.*

@Mentis Soliloquy I think it would be better all around if I just hold off until a slot opens. Am leaving Energa on record but for the time being, I won't be jumping in. Should take the potential rush off of things. Hope the RP goes well.

The Subtype thing wasn't what I had in mind. The Lightlings and Darklings were meant to be their own group. It isn't the lack of a hive or the hungerdire of starving that translates into the Darklings. Its their griwing hate for all things and them harnessing that hate as power. That new power gives them the ability to overrule the will of others. Who is not to say thatone there isn't one working behind the scenes to ruin Equestria. One that was exiled because of the failure that was the wedding. But we can work something out. On the note of Matrices. They aren't that complicated. And I used them as the power that the cult was after. He won't go god mode with them unless he has no other choice. I know how to limit him and his power. The forms are just a further limiter.

@WiiGuy2014, I had already said you could. Join when able. But know this, cosmic won't be a very stable story. He is my Universal Character.

@Blitz Boom, @Shineling, @Maple Bat *As the two were getting along, Cacora decided it was time to leave. She isn't much for final goodbyes and attempts to leave without another word. She begins to head for the Everfree Forest.* @Blitz Boom, Silverwing is currently unconscious. However, any attempts to rouse him fail and a small static bolt passes from him to any who touches him. It is probably the remnants of a recent magic surge. However, his pulse is weak as if almost all of his energy has been drained or used. He won't last long without some way to recover that lost energy.*

@Everypony Just thought to let ya know. I may not be on for the next couple of days. Lack of WiFi is all that delays me. Am still patiently waiting for the opening to jump in.

Well, it was the concept for each chara. Cosmic's not Equestrian originally. So something that isn't normally of Equestria is something that fits Cosmic's concept well. Cacora's concept is much more complicated. Not much is known about changelings. So just about anything we use for them is gonna be head cannon ideas and concepts. Cacora's concept is similar to the Light Fairies and Dark Fairies. Dark Fairies are the evil as it gets types and the Light Fairies are the goodie goodies that fend off the dark ones. @WiiGuy2014 Cosmic is currently being tended to by the Zebra like chara of Bloom's. If you happen upon them then be my guest. @Everyone Also, Cosmic I plan to have connections with Anomaly, aka the cult that revived her, and the Elements of Disharmony story line. The Matrices concepts are just usually boosters and modifiers for spells. A spell matrix is a spell focus for powering and enhancing all kinds of spells.

@Widdershins My use of them is because in backstory some of these charas are very much needed. The sisters for example hold a very Important Item for Cosmic. His previous existence and also his current form, Silverwing, had left in their care one of three Infinite Spell Matrices. That one being the Ever Blooming Rose. In essence it is a now crystal rose that is also it's own personal alternate reality. Every dimension in existence has a fragment within the rose, except Equestria. Just like the Living Spell Matrix, the Ever Blooming Rose was once a living bound Matrix. It was where Silverwing got his idea about each pony's cutiemark being a Spell Matrix. The Ever Blooming Rose grants the ability to create a pocket demi-plane. The purpose of this plane is different for.each user and is held within itself as ine if the many infinite petals so in essence once a pocket is made it is never lost, only forgotten. The infinite Sphere matrix, on the other hoof, is a perfect sphere Matrix. It grants it's wielder the power to form a spell matrix for every spell out there. The Living Spell Matrix however is bound to the bearer and will stay with them for all existence. It grants the one who made it, aka the bearer, a much larger than average mana reserve and the power to wield all three of the Infinite Spell Matrices as if they were one. Cosmic still has the Living Spell Matrix. He gave the Ever Blooming to the royal sister Celestia after the sealing of Nightmare Moon. On his original death bed. The Infinite Sphere Matrix, however, is currently unknown except to the GM and appropriate others that need to know and I, the player and character, don't need to know until it is discovered. Besides, the use of the ones in question is purely for background minor role purposes. I forgot to say one thing. The main reason for Pinkie or Twilight was to have a place to leave Anomaly, so Cacora can go off into the everfree. And as for Thorax, he is more of a guide to help Cacora come to the path of what a friend calls a Lightling. The darklings are Changelings that have fallen into madness because of the hive mind deprivation and love starvation. Their madness gives way to anger rage and hate. This translates into an ability to control the minds of others. The darklings are master manipulators. And the very rare lightling found a way to live in harmony with others and gain what they needed to survive without the hivemind or the dire hunger for love. They gain a strong desire to protect those that they have come to care for. The Lightlings are the counter to Darklings. Where Darklings have the power and ability to control the wills of others to do their bidding, the lightlings counter this and shield those near by them. The Lightlings also have the power to save their fallen Darker kin, unless to much time has passed. The Darklings have to be able to control the Royal sisters before they can even hope to defeat their brighter counterparts. If they clash it will be a battle of wills and ideals. Most others won't really be hurt. Also, the darklings rely on this control and manipulation way to much and are not physically strong. The Lightlings are more balanced than their Darker kin. This also has the cost of them relying on others as a support network of some kind. Without this network they have virtually no power to speak of. Cacora's Friendship Cacoons are this network. It is her greatest strength and her greatest weakness.

Well, she is an Alicorn, she does not have the library anymore, she has the castle of friendship now and Starlight Glimmer is her student in the study of friendship.

@WiiGuy2014 Sorry I don't. I tend not to make those anymore. But there is info regarding him here. What's known about him is what I posted. And just look at my last post to @Blitz Boom regarding his current condition. I can post some of the details about him again, if you would like.

@WiiGuy2014 If and when you do get approval. I have a chara that you can jump into the RP with. My chara Cosmic is currently unconscious in view of anypony near the main area of town. Currently he looks like a Unicorn with Silver colored wings. His coat is a more whitish color so the wings stand out and don't look to fit him.

@Blitz Boom *Cosmic comes to still near where he last fell.* 'Well, I guess I meant it when I said I couldn't control my power in my true form.' *He then starts to feel a very painful throbbing coming from his horn?.* 'What in Tartarus? Why does my horn hurt so much? Why do I have a horn? I thought I had antennae before. It must be a side effect from that mana explosion of a magic surge. I need to get back into town. Maybe somepony can help me. If the cult finds me, I can defend myself. Lest I have another of those and hurt innocent ponies. Besides, I think my chain of memory is the key to understanding the power I have.' *He thinks about what he remembers. It then dawns on him why it accrued.* 'buck me. I need the rose. I am still the Living Spell Matrix. Silverwing's power is what slumbers within me. I thought that existence was finished.' *He places a hoof on the tree.* 'Thanks my ancient friend. I hope I didn't hurt you. I hope I will be. But I can use magic right now. Yeah, Celly and Lulu should know. But Ponyville is closer.' *He then makes his way back towards Ponyville. His movements are wobbly and unstable. He looks like he could fall at anytime. As he moves the throbbing pain in his head gets worse. He doesn't let it stop him. He knows currently the Everfree isn't safe.* *It takes about 30 minutes to an hour to get back to town. As he comes to be within sight of other ponies he collapses falling into a dreamless sleep. One Luna would notice as the dream state of a very hurt pony.*

@Shineling, @Blitz Boom, *Cacora chuckles.* "Pinkie you are so random sometimes." *She then gives pinkie one of her rare serious looks.* "On a different note, I am going away for a while. It feels as if something within the Everfree is calling to me. I need a message delivered if you can manage. It goes to Thorax, the new King of the changelings. I have an offer for him that can help with relations to Equestria. But I also have more personal matters to talk with him about. I will be near the Castle of the Regal Sisters. He should be able to find me easily near there. Also, think you can find a place for Anomaly? She had a run in with a cult a while back and well, while they only wanted her destructive powers, she only wants to create things. I will let her tell ya more. I had planed on taking her to Twilight, but it looks like she is either not home or asleep. Think ya can find a place for her. Also, watch out for her random creation bouts. She scared the Tartarus out of Honey at the Orphanage. Also, the Orphanage wards are active right now. So any Orphan not accounted for already is probably out here. Little Scoots included."

@Blitz Boom It's cool. Also, having an NPC randomly come upon him though would be difficult sense only a few know where the tree of harmony is. So for now he is safe. Also, the ripple effect was a good idea. Spell Matrices aren't as simple as Equestrian spells seem to be. But on that note, the wing spell used by Twilight on Rarity was what originally gave My Original Silverwing his wings. Before that he was just a gifted Unicorn with a knack for the complicated stuff. To him simple was difficult and complicated was easy. He had that nature about him. I am going to be having him come to and then collapse again in town. That should give space for NPC usage with him. He will be suffering from an almost life threatening case of magical burnout, so yeah he will need medical attention.

@Blitz Boom I had though that the other two would have gotten the hint. But we all have a story we are trying to tell involving our OCs. Besides, those two wouldn't have been able to keep up with his magically enhanced form. More spells were used but only those were seen. There is also Random Spell Matrices, where they were, that didn't get used. They have spells in them but weren't magically powered. One has gotta love one time use Spell Matrices. Only when powered will those Matrices actibate the spells within. Also, there is a reason for the now Winged Unicorn form. Now because of the power of the Location of Power called The Tree of Harmony. His form count now is three. The tree awoke that form as part of the final release. And that form is maintainable without the need for magic. It also gives him a vent focus for magic build up. This way it doesn't happen again.

@Blitz Boom, @Lloyd, @All that apply, What just happened was a magic surge of pent up magical power. This has left Cosmic weakened for the moment but on sacred grounds. The Tree of Harmony being something Nopony knows the power if but the bearers of course. The felt pulse is a disturbance in the natural order of magic. It registers as both Harmonic and Chaotic. When Cosmic placed his left forehand on the tree, that's when the final release of pent up magic happened. Channeled by the grounded Tree of Harmony the magic could do no harm and the disturbance and Harmless Magic Explosion were the only result. The matrices targeting the two are more offensive spell Matrices of an ancient elemental art. An art called Elementalist or the power to command the very basic elements themselves as attacks. One for each basic element was launched. I don't believe warlock's defenses were prepared to take on wild elemental magic. As a final note. This was all part of a massive magic surge from within Cosmic. He will not be in anyway capable of this amount of simultaneous casting until he fully awakens his sleeping power.

@Blitz Boom, @Shineling, @All at the town center *Cacora thanks the pony in a compassionate way. She then makes to head to where Pinkie is. She avoids the line showing she has no interest in getting food. She approaches from the opposite side where the line was formed and waits near by Pinkie. Knowing Pinkie's Pinkie sense, she knows Pinkie already knows she is there. However, she still asks,* "Would you like an extra set of hooves to help, Pinkie? I know somebeing who can help you and maybe you can help her too." @Everyone *Cosmic Continued Instinctively towards the castle of the sisters magic pulsing now from him as his power is starting to go out of control. The pulses form into a random mix of Spell Matrices as the spells themselves select their own targets. Several powerful spells are aimed for the now freed Athriel and several more towards The Warlock. These spells are complex but simple, even if very ancient in their origins.* *Targeting the thrown Chow, another spell Matrix bounces off the wall he was to impact into. This one's effect easily noticeable as an Impact Shield Spell attempts to surround Chow, as if to protect him.* *Several other random Matrices fall harmlessly to the ground near the witches. They hold spells but not the energy to cast them.* *The source runs into the canyon before the cast as a large explosion of magic, both Harmonic and Chaotic, discharges in the canyon and Cosmic Collapses as a Silverwinged Unicorn next to the Tree of Harmony. One hoof rests on its roots, while he himself is out cold at the base.* *The explosion of magic was strong enough to be felt by all Elements of harmony, Disharmony, Discord and even the Princesses themselves. It is also felt by anypony sensitive to the balancing flow of magic.*

@Blitz Boom Just thought to give a heads up but Cosmic is instinctively heading for near warlock's current location near the castle. So yeah. If his power does blow it may be directed towards Warlock. And an Infinite Spell Matrix isn't your normal run of the mill complex spell type.

@Blitz Boom, @Maple Bat, @MaryxMelody, Mary, something to work with here in OOC, would help out a lot. Also, what's happening to Cosmic is, that because he hasn't truly attuned to his form and his magical understanding isn't very good, he is losing his form for a while and his power, which I informed Blitz in PM about, is about to go through a surge or go out of control. He is moving away from Ponyville so that the side effects of out of control magic doesn't bother the ponies and creatures of Ponyville. As for what happens, when his power goes out of control, I leave that up to @Blitz Boom.

@MaryxMelody, @Maple Bat, *Cosmic chuckles* "It's more a matter of if I can survive here in my true form. I still can't hold this form for too long. I am nearing my limit and need to find a place to hide until my magic recharges. However, I haven't heard of a Midnight Breeze. Though I have heard before of a Midnight Aurora. She was one of a lost group of ponies. The children of the night. Aurora fought with Equestria during the fall of the Crystal Empire. However, when she faced off against the first appearance of Nightmare Moon. All knowledge of what happened vanished. But that is for another time." *As he speaks his form flickers for a moment as if becoming unstable.* "Well Tardarus. My time in this form is almost up. If I don't go now, bad and weird things may happen. I can't control my power when in my true form. I have to find a magic inhibitor. That's the only way to stabilize my power for now. Until next we meet, I bid thee farewell." *He then makes to move past the two quickly as his form continues to ripple as if becoming more unstable as the seconds pass. He also showed a look of extreme pain, as if trying to maintain the form was hurting him. He looks to be heading into the Everfree Forest.*

@Maple Bat, @MaryxMelody, "A pleasure to meet you both. As I have said, we both are misplaced. A cult of some kind summoned me with the intent to use my still slumbering power to overthrow wthe royal sisters. They already tried once with their attempt at resurrecting a long dead goddess of destriction. However, it failed and they turned to another dimension for the power to do so. I however, don't wish to be such and am no tool yo be used. So once I was attuned to this form and was able to control some of my new found magic, I left them, in the dead of night, about a week ago. I wonder if they are still looking for me. Maybe our problem is one and the same. Maybe the spell that brought me here also brought you as a counter balance. Just in case I didn't do what I have done." *Cosmic flutters his wings a bit creating a calming gentle breeze.* "Magic here is so fascinating and it bring back so many memories. Memories I know I shouldn't remember. The raise and first fall of Discord. The raise and fall of the Crystal Empire. The origin of the Elements. But most of it is still blurry. The chains of memory never fully reveal something unless there is a reason." *He then looks like something dawned on him.* "Oh and one should never forget the raise and fall of the Nightmare."
