Ask Starswirl The Dungon Master

Fate changing magic

So now as you all can see I had a spell to control destiny I was the real DM of Equestria and I made no counterspell for it because I wanted no player to warp the classical ways of the world. Then like every alicorn had done twilight saw the true face of powergaming in countering a DM's power. Because she was pure of heart an had no intention of unbalancing the world she became an alicorn.

Keep being awesome :D

My self esteem is already quite high, but I still thank people like you for actually asking me questions. *500 XP cause it’s been a while*

An explanation of the reforming spell spellbook

I happened to notice that in our last viewing of our pony adventuring party that Sparkles spellbook containing the reforming spell had only one visible page missing and Discord was eating much more than one piece of paper. It would make more sense that a spell of power able to effect Discord would be many pages like the one he was eating. So to ponies who don't know, there is a spell at work here called the Book Condensing Spell. Until Discords snack that spell book had each spell take up a single page until the spell is cast on that page again to reveal the entire spell.

Magic charms

I don't know what other unicorns are thinking, but magic item crafting feats thats how you come up with items like the Alicorn Amulet.

Damb him

King Sombra, he’s almost as old as me and looks so young. How does he do it? I bet he sold his soul to D&D 4th edition.

Sorry

Wow I’m getting new people here and I have not been on in a while. I promise I will return, but I’m caught up with some new divine transcendence spell.

We have come this frightful night to wish you a most glorious Nightmare Night! If thou wishes to not be eaten, may We suggest leaving sweets out this evening?

I have chocolate d20’s left over at my place kids had no clue what they are for.

Gypsy magic

I have realized I have never learned gypsy magic. I never question it's legitimacy as magic, but I will need Pinkie or another gypsy to teach me.

Taking shortcuts in Cartography

So I was talking to one of my players today who is not as good an artist. He wanted to know how to make a map using his computer. It did not have to look good, but it could not use that fancy software that he will have to pay for. I had the most brilliant answer, I told him to take a screenshot of Mule Fortress and edit out everything other then the world in MS paint. Mule Fortress is very in depth and based on real geographic trends after all so it is perfect, and you can even barrow some history the game generates.

Going on a job hunt!

I'm in a bad economy and I am running out of retirement funds, so like I have had to do in the past I will have to go adventuring. I wish I could have my old less dangerous job of court wizard and adviser to the princesses, but they have already hired another unicorn. Now if any of you have some sort of quest please tell me, my rates are cheep for a founder of many well known arcane laws, but very on the task.

Note to self: I should take the guys from the gaming shop out on a field trip so they can see a real adventure.
