Again, the eye sees yellow as "sort of red and sort of green", which can be produced either by two types of photons, or by one that's just in the middle. But here's the problem - the spectrum is linear, not circular. So the color that mixes the two ends of the spectrum, namely sort of red and sort of blue/violet, cannot[ be represented by a single wavelength of light. It always has to be a combination of two wavelengths. As such, a true rainbow doesn't include it.

The "missing color", present in the color wheel but not in the rainbow, is magenta. It's sometimes represented as pink. Interesting bit of pony trivia here: In "MMMMystery on the Friendship Express", Twilight Sparkle proves that Fluttershy was one of the culprits who ate part of the cake Pinkie Pie was guarding, because she found a pink hair at the scene of the crime. Pinkie Pie was going to accuse Rainbow Dash, but RD pointed out the hair couldn't be hers because she has no pink hairs in her rainbow mane.

Ah, magic. Magic solves everything :)

Luminous chromia wrote:Right, but the Light Pony is made of light.

You can't stab light.

No, but I can keep light from moving freely through its body. Dismemberment seems like it should be painful.

Well, so how would I go about attacking one, if I wanted to?

Luminous chromia wrote:Well, this is what I meant. Accelerating to a high speed takes lots of light magic, and then slowing down again takes lots of light magic. So, it is wiser to instead take a slower flight speed, like that of a sluggish bird flight, so that going airborne, moving to the flight speed, maneuvering in the air, and slowing down to a landing all take less light magic to accomplish.

That makes sense.

If their main limiter is acceleration rather than speed, they'd also have poor maneuverability. They wouldn't be able to pull off the sharp turns of pegasi.

What about when they're not flying? Is it more energy-efficient to walk by pushing against opaque objects? Or do they not have distinct flying and no-flying movement modes?

Luminous chromia wrote:PS. Have fun with the new factbook. I wrote the same words over so many times I shiver to think how many of those times I misspelled them.

"Light Ponies are often mistaken to ghosts, and with good reason." -> for

"Through the use of light magic, Light Ponies can gain the power to touch, manipulate, feel, levitate, fly among other things." -> I think you're missing an "and".

"Should they use their light magic too much, a Light Pony would find itself weakened, going dim." -> You're using inconsistent pronouns.

"no longer leaking light magic into the surrounding space in the form of their glow." -> Here too.

"Though the majority of Light Ponies prefer to live out in the open surface, where they may partake in the beauty of lively colors and the scintillating direct sunlight. Others, however, have felt this to be an excessively opulent lifestyle." -> Either drop the though from the first sentence, or merge them into one sentence and drop the however.

"Light Ponies need no food, no water, no bed, no chairs and nor real solid comforts" -> and no or nor without the and, also put a comma after "chairs"

"A Light Pony's transfection with color is not drawn from necessity but rather great aesthetic appeal." -> Surprisingly enough, it turns out that "transfection" is actually a word. However, I think you mean transfixion.

Mostly grammar rather than spelling mistakes, actually!

Luminous chromia wrote:The ordeal requires a vast amount of light magic, for without a sufficient base of magic the infant Light Pony will not develop, and even a Light Pony carrying as much light magic as its form can hold will be rendered weak and utterly drained by the action of self division.

...So, can multiple light ponies combine their magic in order to ease the drain?

Luminous chromia wrote:For this reason, it is practically unheard of for Light Ponies to reproduce alone.

Oh, okay.

Babysitters don't really count, though.

Magical equestria wrote:The "missing color", present in the color wheel but not in the rainbow, is magenta. It's sometimes represented as pink.

The color word "pink" is somewhat ambiguous in the English language. It's often used to mean pale red (#F99) or pale red-purple (#F9D) or even pale red-orange (#FB9, particularly in reference to skin color), yet it's also often used to refer to saturated red-purple (#F0A) which isn't pale at all, but it's never used for saturated red (#F00).

All definitions of pink are not part of the rainbow, which includes neither pale colors (or at least no one color that's paler than the others) nor red-purple.

"Magenta" is a common name for the color range intermediate between violet in red, though I tend to associate it particularly with "electric magenta", #F0F exactly, which is part of that range but not its extent, nor (arguably) the prettiest shade. I use "red-purple" above but it sounds bland.

Nowadays I often just think about dark red-purple as "Cheerilee".

Magical equestria wrote:RD pointed out the hair couldn't be hers because she has no pink hairs in her rainbow mane.

Then again, she has no turquoise ones either, and that is part of the rainbow.

Err, that should be "intermediate between violet and red".

The answer is underlined.

Also, think of normal ghosts. You can't shoot a ghost, you can't stab a ghost. The only way to stop them is to play by their rules and use some supernatural mumbo-jumbo.

Trotterdam wrote:What about when they're not flying? Is it more energy-efficient to walk by pushing against opaque objects? Or do they not have distinct flying and no-flying movement modes?

Yes, actually. When they aren't flying, they can walk around on the ground more or less normally because the ground is opaque. They still move their limbs around to walk. When they are flying, they are basically self-levitating, so they just stop moving their limbs and float themselves around with magic.

Trotterdam wrote:Mostly grammar rather than spelling mistakes, actually!

I don't believe it. I expected numerous instances of misspelled "light" and "Cosmic".

Trotterdam wrote:[...So, can multiple light ponies combine their magic in order to ease the drain?

No. One pony splits to make one child, in the same way that one male impregnates one female to produce one baby.

Trotterdam wrote:[Babysitters don't really count, though.

No, they didn't realty. There is some ceremony to the whole process though, more than I mentioned.
Birth: its a whole thing.

The nation of derpy

I was actually planning on making a factbook on my nation's history, but I decided that it would be more better if it was written as a story, and that is how it is going to be. So it is not going to be here on NationStates until I can figure out how to correctly put it on here without making it sound like a story itself.

Simple, base yourself on a wiki article. Those don't sound much like a story in my opinion.

Do I have to make it look like a wiki article? I only ask because I don't know how to do that...

Not necessarily. If you do chose to follow such format, you can use templates on IIWiki, but the article must remain on that site. That's what I do, mostly. If you want it on NS factbooks, you can do it Wiki style, or in a similar format like Luminous chromia

If you do chose the penultimate choice, this will help: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=256878#TSC

There's a country of light ponies now?

tell me.. what do these people think of the Stahlaren light?

The one that's... brighter than the sun.

Luminous chromia wrote:Why did you ask a question to which you know there is no answer?

I was hoping you'd handwave it

I assume this Stahlaren light contains proportionally a lot more gamma rays than other light sources.

"•2 hours ago: Following new legislation in Luminous Chromia, organ donation rates have hit a new low."

I would certainly hope so. I am not sure what compels some Light Ponies to donate the organs of other species to each other, but it is a worrying trend as if late.

The nation of derpy

I have decided to not put my nation's history in a factbook. I decided to make it a story instead. Because stories are what I'm good at.
So sadly, it won't be on NationStates.

Issue No 9: Sapphire Crystalline Wreaths On The Dinner Table?

A ghost made of light eating a next-generation sea star armored with dense crystals. Now that, I would like to see.

Quebec ii wrote:That is not edible.

I suppose the insides are, but they are kind on the inside. Presents a problem.

And that's not even taking into account that a Light Pony would have to do a whole bunch of magic just to gain the capacity to do any sort of eating action, let alone digesting.

Also, I am now writing part of my nation's history, the first chapter of it at least.
Starring: Queen Spectra, Light Ponies, Curawong, Nithlings.
