The study of Magic is without end, an eternal search among the cosmos for the secrets that bind the universe together. The scholar finds within her books a path to the stars.



The second piece in this series is dedicated to Twilight Sparkle. For this fractal, I ended up focusing on the Element of Magic and Student of Magic aspects of her character rather than the Princess of Friendship or Book Horse aspect of her character, creating a fractal that tries to capture the mystery and otherwordlyness of the arcane. It's not a decision I'm entirely happy with, but as it turns out "Arcane Scholar" is a much easier concept to pull off with fractal flames than "Friendly Librarian." I might try for the latter some time in the future, but for now, enjoy a fractal as deep and mysterious as magic itself.
