>>5982 >Similar to how shade-5 "blocks light" but only really the red part of the spectrum, the "anti-magic" rings of this universe just block "friendship-enforcing" and the further you get from that "wavelength" the more energy that will pass through. That is actually pretty well thought out for a device like that. You really do try to come up with the underlying stuff.
>Because its curses are a little nonspecific aside from some form of insanity I don't know how conservative of to the show you are trying to keep things (because it is the Conversion Bureau we are talking about here) but the alicorn amulet is a good choice both on the front that it allows you to supercharge any magic using character (and perhaps non magic using) you want without having to invent something out of the blue. You could even add onto things and say: Alicorns are more resistant to the negative effects (at first) or say that even Earth Ponies it enhances their magic.
>an evil alternate-world Cadance who, having ruined her own world, is trying to break into the nearest neighbor. That could be either the edgiest thing ever or the a very compelling villain that would catch people of guard. I think for Cadence it could be special since she is not often portrayed as a villain and giving her an inverted personality with the right motivation could be more interesting than yet another edgy Twilight whose rejected friendship in someway though admittedly I think the problem with that is more of poor writing than just saturation itself but that is a discussion for another time.
>Or too, perhaps this world doesn't have changelings, and they're not ... from the blasted wastelands, but again a neighboring universe. And they could have a whole host of motivations. Perhaps the town was destroyed simply do to a rough solar flare set off from their magic and they just gradually become a threat as they leak in. Or it could be Chrysalis briefly hijacking the sun to use against Fred because her changeling spies see him as a threat to her own take over.
>The HLF can bring their small army of unicorns with human personalities into the battle to hold back the horde, and Fred can venture into their lands That would check out everything you wanted.
