READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK

So Malek?

I REALLY want magic arrays to be more of a thing in the show. Somewhat like Neighsay’s medallion.

Slightly disappointed this was a “what-if”.

READY, STEADY, GIVE ME GOOD LUCK!

READY STEADY CAN’T HOLD ME BACK

I’m glad someone else noticed it

I KNEW THIS WOULD SHOW UP EVENTUALLY!XD

I’m convinced they meant this as a FMA reference because Sunburst said the goal of the spell was to “materialize something that was lost in the past”.

 
Perhaps.

it looked like an alchemy circle to me at least. not to mention the context of the fantasy was much like the beginnings of the Elric brothers.

I really thought they would accidentally revive King Sombra in this one!

Remember though what Starlight & Sunburst were trying to do in that fantasy though. As Sunburst said, “If we do it just right, it should allow us to materialize an object that was lost in the past.” Doesn’t that sound A LOT like what Ed and Al were trying to do in FMA/Brotherhood? They were trying to resurrect their deceased mother; human transmutation. Obviously MLP would make it a little less intense by turning it from bringing back the dead to materializing an object lost in the past, but the reference is still there.

@Comet Blitz  

 
Indeed. That’d be cool to see, lol
 
@Silver Maelstrom  

 
I hope so. That’d make it even better.

@Silver Maelstrom  
You think FMA was the first to do magic circles?

I’m pretty sure the ones who wrote and made the episode intentionally put in that reference.

Yep, probably. But look on the bright side, you’ll get metal legs and get to clap your hooves to make stuff happen!
