Glossary

== Overview ==
Many things in Whimsy's Fate are different than in the real world (obviously) and other iterations of MLP (less obvious), this glossary is here to help clear up and clarify a lot of those differences! This will be a long page, organized alphabetically, we suggest looking through the page's "contents" to find words faster!

A latent form of spellcasting, these spells are not immediately effective, waiting instead for a set amount of time or specific trigger before going off. These are more complicated to cast than other spells. More information found here.
====== Curse: Demonic ======
Unrelated to the other definition, this term is used broadly for any negative lasting effects put upon an individual by a demon. More information found here.
=== Cutiemark (Mark / Soul Mark) ===
A mark found on the flanks of most ponies in Equestria. Described as a depiction of your soul and destiny, these marks are often quite important to the species that have them. Ponies receive them most commonly from the ages of 8-16, they are inevitable and can be earned in multiple ways as one's "true talent" is vague.
=== Demon ===
An entity of abject wrongness. Save yourself and avoid at all costs.
=== Demon Border ===
An invisible barrier that surrounds Equestria, visible in maps as a darkened space around the many provinces. While demons cannot pass through it alone, it won't stop anything else that tries. Ponies who have been there share stories that they felt a wide range of emotions from fear to sorrow when approaching it. Stay clear.
=== Dragonflame ===
A unique type of fire created and utilized only by dragons and kirin. It's said to be their concentrated and weaponized soul. It is one of the only things capable of fighting off a demon.
=== Enchant ===
Under Construction.
=== God ===
Old beings, from the time where it was just the world, the Goddesses, and the demons. In modern day Equestria, the only known gods left are the ancient dragons. More information here. (not yet!)
=== Goddess ===
A Goddess is a figure worshipped within Equestria, they have no physical body nor anything equivalent. The Goddesses are responsible for the floating islands, the alicorn ritual, and the Equestrian border. More information here.
=== Maple ===
She has no lore relevance but she is my cat. If you're reading this say hi to her.
=== Possession ===
