Amiomorphic Spell
Okay, here is what made this take a little longer. Heh, I wanted to make this a quickie but had to much to remark here. Turns out the amiomorphic spell has inspired a fair bit of debate and discussion! Amnio in the english language referring to egg or membrane around an embryo versus using the latin roots for Amnio, which very roughly translate to bowl or bucket (or lamb, or depending on what Latin/Greek root words you are using) and saying it’s a joke for Hairy Potter. (Starswwirl the Bearded is a hairy potter, a bowl/" and pot and him having a beard) which seems to be the most popular interpenetration. Though MA Larson said that it wasn’t something he actively thought of in an interview with Celestia Radio (video related, I downloaded it and clipped that section just to cite this). Credit to everybody else who looked into this. I have other stuff I looked on it and may or may not have more stuff to say in the future that is more my own. I’d say that personally I’d probably run with something other than the hairy potter joke and like the idea of it being connected to Twilight hatching Spike somehow.

Fhaolan’s blog post, it goes more into detail on Starwirl in general though I am not reading it right now to remain ahem, “unspoilered” to other references and such so I can have the joy of piecing things together myself and noticing things fresh.
