@princesscelestia "The alternative was half mad ghosts of things that already disregarded the values of their society. I shed no tears when the practice was abolished and only a few when the society that developed it fell into obscurity, and then near oblivion. This array lacks all but the containment elements. Even those are altered, but the basics are there." #wallotext #pt2 #end

Princess Celestia Nightbloom

@nightbloom "I always found it important to have at least a basic grasp of disciplines you yourself aren't a master of. This array is based on the patterns used by practitioners of a sect of magic that's fallen out of use. A way of thinking nearly dead in the modern world but powerful in its time. It was used in executions, in its original form. A creature would be contained within, and then a secondary effect would slowly drain the inherent magics from the victim to the executioner. Once those were taken, it would start drawing out the very life. They found though, that the life forces of one pony were often lethally incompatable with those of another, especially ones so incongruous as punisher and accused. So a shade of the executed often formed. In time, a third component was added which bound that into a receptacle, which was stored until the thing within moved on. " #wallotext #pt1
