It was the understanding of magic itself, that grabbed me. And how it explained that the sun, and moon, were pony made constructs on a world that would not have allowed ponies to live without them.

I guess just comment on what grabs you. Or what pushes you away. I guess if you find yourself focusing on particular characters, then you may find, with others, that what Fluttershy said about Arothea Nahmat is true, at which point we call into question the author's ending comment that being a jerk doesn't make you edgy or cool, it just makes you a jerk (sorry not just Discord fans, but Gilda fans as well. Possible BlueSmugHorse too).

With Nahmat's name sounding vaguely Indian in derivation, I wonder if the author is a follower of Eastern meditation styles, because the line given to Starswirl is very Eastern-meditationesque, as certain martial arts forms pride themselves on being performed with no force used.
