ggg-2 3,553 August 8, 2014 Share August 8, 2014 Plot device aside, why did Spike take the Inspiration Manifestation spell, when he could have just as easily just asked Discord, who was reformed by this time, to help Rarity out?

Espurr 449 August 8, 2014 Share August 8, 2014 Discord lives in Canterlot. Twilight has no idea where he lives and neither does he. It only makes sense, right? 1 I don't care what pony you like because I like everypony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractured 2,684 August 8, 2014 Share August 8, 2014 Only Twilight can call Discord, and Rarity already made him promise not to tell anyone else. Produced by the phenomenal J.R.

Old Fluttershy 349 August 8, 2014 Share August 8, 2014 The day you can tell me for sure where Discord lives, is the day I'll believe this argument. Twilight couldn't call Discord at this time (assuming Celestia taught Twilight the spell when she became an alicorn). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiteporte 591 August 8, 2014 Share August 8, 2014 First, Spike knew that Discord was not the most reliable character. And he also promised Rarity not to tell anyone. Furthermore, I think that Spike cannot use the summoning spell that Twilight used in the first episode of that season. Finally, Spike has a crush for Rarity. So, he wanted to find the solution himself so that Rarity would really notice it, if you see what I mean. I mean, if you love someone, you would do anything for him/her instead of just asking for help and relying on someone else. What I said made sense, right ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seiko Shinohara 35 August 8, 2014 Share August 8, 2014 I agree with boiteporte The Sachiko Ever After Charm was to keep us as friends. It was a lie... Sig By Me Emily Rose : http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/emily-rose-r6989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbaTross 1,586 August 9, 2014 Share August 9, 2014 Everyone so far has already summed up my thoughts on the matter. Also, Spike is Twilight's assistant. Of course it's not out of the realm of possibility that she would have rubbed off on him at least a little. Twilight has a tendency to look to books to solve problems, so it's not unreasonable to believe that Spike might do the same. What intrigues me more, is not that Spike chose to get a spell book, but that it's an entire book, yet we've only seen one spell from it. What else was in that book? Of course, we'll never know, now that Spike swallowed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 August 10, 2014 Share August 10, 2014 It has been known that Spike has had the hots for Rarity ever since he first saw her so he took it to impress her and also partly because he felt a bit bad for her with her being in a creative slump and all.

Jeric 46,852 August 12, 2014 Share August 12, 2014 It has been known that Spike has had the hots for Rarity ever since he first saw her so he took it to impress her and also partly because he felt a bit bad for her with her being in a creative slump and all. Right. Even before the viewer sees Rarity on screen in the first episode you hear Spike calling her beautiful. Plot device aside, why did Spike take the Inspiration Manifestation spell, when he could have just as easily just asked Discord, who was reformed by this time, to help Rarity out? No one besides Fluttershy seemed to really trust Discord at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetolebob18 728 July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 What Boiteporte said + the fact that Spike has only been alive since the events of The Cutie Mark Chronicles (IMO, about 10 years before the pilot). He is still a child & has a limited understanding of long term consequences. There have been other examples of this in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
