Are... Are there more of these? Please tell me there are.

bah, I forgot to mention the fact that a chemial cell is any cell that directs the flow of magic.

I see you had to include a bit in there about unicorns not dropping dead if you snap off their horns.

it looks cool. i still stand by my theory that horns evolved to allow the unis to control their magic. like wands :D

There's a couple weak bits in the text but it is otherwise quite neat.

Fix: "sensitive to pain [...] temperature without pain".
Revise the paragraph about ONC so that the properties of the cell come first, and then later you describe the process by which magic is conducted in the horn.

If you do that then you have a template (and a quality standard) for further such treatises.

Just because it's magic does not mean that we ain't gotta explain shit.

Note that down in your copybook now.

not sure what is wrong with "sensitive to pain [...] without pain" is wrong outside from slight redundancy.
Yeah this was a rough draft I will probably revise in such a manner later. I just wanted to know if the bronies would recieve such a concept well.

uhh, yeah that's basically what this picture is operating under.

I greatly look forward to future versions of this. You rock Adrian.

Adrian, you a bio major, bro? This seems extremely plausible. I'd love to hear your theories on magic as a biophysical entity.

some stuff I couldn't fit into the page but would be eventually worked in if I go more than one page:
the ignis majorum takes up space in the frontal lobe that most ponies have with normal brain matter. as a result, unicorns tend to be very slightly socially "off" (see: twilight sparkle, Rarity when she is in certain "moments")

Well in terms of this universe it takes place in, magic is like gravity or weak nuclear force in the fact that it is measured and its affects are well understood, but the force itself is not well understood

this took me a whole 30 minutes to draw up and assembly, about ten minutes comparing currently existing cells to combine together to make the cell structure, and probably 20 minutes collectively of me musing about the concept when going about my day.

It was either that or play the vidya. I regret nothing.
