So, can't they just absorb Gaia's magic?

[Drunkfrank 1,125]

I can't remember, did they destroy Twilights magic absorbing device? Because in the canon universe of mlp, I am pretty sure super sunset and midnight sparkle are the most powerful beings we have seen, as they possessed all of the mane 6s powers combined.

 

 

Unless Gaia is Discord levels of power, couldn't Sunset just absorb the magic again and destroy Gaia easily?

Alternatively, Gaia could simply be a Woman Of Kryptonite (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManOfKryptonite) or something.

Last we ever saw of the thing was when Sunset threw it on the ground after absorbing the magic in order to turn into Daydream Shimmer. There was a brief explosion, so I'm going with idea the thing was totalled.

 

Even if it wasn't destroyed then, I doubt it would have been much longer before Twilight smashed the thing anyway and would likely be loathe to create another one given the mess that happened the first time. Even if she wanted to though, I doubt she has the materials necessary to construct another one on such short notice. And even then, there's no guarantee it would work if we assume Gaia Everfree is similar to the Equestrian Everfree in that her magic is wild and uncontrollable, the device might not even be capable of absorbing such magic in the first place.

Hey @@ryanmahaffe, just letting ya know that your thread title was edited to better describe your topic. Have a nice day

 

I don't remember if they destroyed the device or not, but I'm sure they'd figure out a reason to make Gaia immune to it, or just not bring it up at all. Otherwise, it'd be a pretty short movie.

I am pretty sure that Sci Twi's pendant couldn't handle absorbing magic as powerful as Gaia Everfree's, but even if it could, I don't think she would want to make another one.

As the last time she tried to absorb energy, Twilight ended up turning into a raging she-demon.

I'm going with the latter explanation.

 

Given how the pendant was able to absorb enough magic to turn Sci-Twi into a female Janemba, I don't think it's a question of "couldn't handle" at all.

I don't remember the fate of the pendant, but I'm pretty sure it was destroyed , thus the reason they won't stop Gaia right away

They can't absorb her magic because there is no magic. It's all just science. Eridan Ampora would agree with me on this. Friendship magic is just friendship science. You can't absorb science.
