Ah, of course! The six legendary Pillars of Firepower. I vaguely remember a lecture on the subject.

Yes, yes... the Pillars of Caliber, Ammo, Action, Misinformation, Favorable Statistics, and the cornerstone of them all, the 2nd Amendment.

Together, these Pillars have the power to protect and maintain harmony in all the land, should the right peop- uh, ponies, wield them.

I believe Star Swirl's "Legends of Magic" collections contain his testimony of their immense power. However, that power could be corrupted by evil creatures. If I remember correctly, he sent these elegant weapons to another dimension, where magic did not exist. What he didn't count on is some ponies finding a way around that, and since none of the brave, good ponies had access to them, it ultimately made Equestria less safe.



I've been thinking this out too long.
