....Not. Necessarily. [She struggles valiantly to answer, suppressing all the conflicting emotions inside her with every bit of control she has.] That depends on how well the... ah. Effect. Has translated forms.

[starswirl_the_awesome]

[blank look] Oh so it's a mystery magic.

Hmmm.... [bobs his head up and down as if trying to wave a magic wand] Give me meat!

[letteropener]

To... properly use magic, you must channel your mental energy through your horn. Unicorns develop that skill as they grow and mature, normally, which is why I am not sure it will come immediately to you.

[There is nothing good about this situation.]

[starswirl_the_awesome]

That's no fun. Teach me something!

[if he's gonna have a horn, he wants to figure out how to use it. It's not as easy as just stretching]

[letteropener]

Very well. Catch.

[Celestia conjures a small ball with a flash of golden light, which she then casually tosses to Luffy. Not using her hands, of course; that barely even occurs to her.]

[starswirl_the_awesome]

[tries to catch it with his teeth because he doesn't have hands and it doesn't occur to him to try anything else]

[letteropener]

[Well, it's just light. That isn't going to work.]

...Clearly, you have not picked up much in the way of pony reflexes. Try to pick it up, but not with your body. Think about lifting it, the way you 'think' about moving your leg.

[starswirl_the_awesome]

Oh so it's like haki.

[think without thinking. He shakes himself off and plants all four hooves on the deck, closing his eyes briefly and focusing]

Okay, try again.

[letteropener]

[A simple matter indeed; she gathers the light with a moment's concentration, then flicks it Luffy's way.]

[starswirl_the_awesome]

[magic may not be quite like haki, but he has will power and confidence enough to spare. So he catches it because he wants to and his body does the rest]

Hey! I did it! [canters around happily.] Catch! [and he flings it back with a twist of his head]

[letteropener]

You certainly did. That was quite impressive. [Somepony has GOT to explain this 'haki' thing to her sometime.]

[She plucks the magic out of the air easily, smiling.]
