Unfortunately, the the spell makes Rarity go mad with power, as she turns everything she sees into overly glamorous objects. This includes turning a kids party into a boring and classical one, turning Ponyville's streets gold, turning want to fluttershy's birdhouse into a Bird Mansion, etc. Spike has trouble confronting Rarity for fear he'll lose her as a friend and mostly, goes along with her escapades until it goes too far. Spike decides to tell Rarity the truth about her over the top design and the spell breaks. At the end of the story, Spike learns to never be afraid to tell her the truth, and to never take mystical spell books from ancient castles.
