Magical assets

—Official warning

The Luna the Miracle Boy series possesses many fantasy elements. A prominent one is the use of **magic** by humans and other creatures such as the Petrovburger national ponies.

## Intelligent humans

Throughout the story episodes, the intelligent humans tend to crops and care for plants and animals, particularly in Winter Wrap-up! song. The animator named Lauren Faust explained online that intelligent humans "have a magically ingrained connection to the earth that makes them better at working with plants and animals". One of these intelligent humans is Vincent – the fidelity boy representing the Fluttershy Corps whose special talent is working with animals as his sister – Polina did, Vincent magically grows to a much greater size, with his strength increasing in proportion to his new stature.

The intelligent humans frequently alter the weather, notably in the story episodes where they clear the clouds from the sky. For example: snowflakes and rainbows are made in a Pegasus-style powers weather factory in the Cloudsdale District that the main characters visit. Luna explains by himself that the intelligent humans require a magic spell to be able to walk on clouds, while these humans naturally possess this ability.

Some of intelligent humans create weather-related wakes when they perform aerial acrobatics. For example: Jason the Rainbow Dash creates rainbows several times during his acrobatic flights, and creates a special burst called "sonic rainboom". He also created an explosion so powerful it left a rainbow-colored mushroom cloud.

### Colors of magic auras

The Petrovburg Heroes cast magic, it produces a colored aura around their geodes and any objects their magic affects. The color of the glow is different among individuals, usually matching their fave color or a prominent color of their cutie mark. This color is distinctive to each hero, and changes in this color can indicate when something is amiss, such as changeling magic or being corrupted by a magical object:

* Luna's magic aura is dark blue, the color of the cloud (excluding the white crescent moon) in his cutie mark.
* Tobias' magic aura is Bavaria purple, matching both her fave color, though her aura is a lighter shade.
* Jason's magic auras are colored green, matching his fave color and not his cutie mark.

However, some characters' magical aura matches neither their fave color nor their cutie mark. This is the case with Cecil, whose magic aura is pink while her fave color is also pink and her cutie mark is mostly dark red.

Since the first story episode, the colors of individual characters' magic auras were often inconsistent from episode to episode. For example: Princess Finlandia's magical glow varies throughout season one but is consistently Finnish purple.

Other characters with consistent aura colors include:

* Artemis Osmansky
* Camilla Rozalia
* Cecil Lulamoon
* Celestia Diane
* Dennis Idmayanti
* Diana Turkoman
* Ethan Afnelia
* Finlandia Salsabila
* Frederick Agustiana
* Jason Esofita
* Jerry Starlight
* Jozef Oktarini
* Luciano Itsuki
* Luna Vernadsky
* Martin Heldayeti
* Martin Susanti
* Natasha Erman
* Petrovburg National Guards
* Polina Fluttershy
* Roman Rosalina
* Sergius Aluna Norgesic
* Sweyn Forkbeard
* Tobias Ratnasari
* Tony Sirbistan
* Vincent Cadance
* Vladimir Diana
* Zim Hideyoshi

### Luna Vernadsky

Luna is exceptionally talented at magic, although his official element is the miracle. In some stories and songs, Prince Artemis tells him that he has never seen a boy with so much raw ability before Luna's born.

Here are some examples about performing spells by Luna:

* Luna casts a spell that allows the ordinary humans to walk on clouds, an ability that only the intelligent humans naturally possess. He also casts a spell that gives Tobias butterfly-like wings made of “gossamer and morning dew".
* He transforms an apple into a carriage and mice into horses, he also uses a "Want it, need it" spell to make a raggedy old doll desired by anyone who lays eyes on it.
* Luna goes back in time to talk to his past self.
* He shoots concussive blasts with his magic wand and uses a spell that reverts a changeling's disguise.
* He accidentally turns a bird and a frog into half-animal, half-orange hybrids while attempting to turn an apple into an orange. He uses his magic to return Celestia's duplicates to the mirror pool.
* He replicates Princess Aulia's dark magic to reveal hidden passageways.
* In the term of "Celestial Advice", Luna makes simulations of potential outcomes for a girl who looks like Martin.
* In the term of "President's Problem", Luna uses a spell to talk to Susanti in Canterlot Presidential University in the form of a music box ballerina, although he claims to still be in Vernadia.
* In the Roman Backstage Pass story episode, Luna uses a magical form of copy-and-paste to copy the text of a scroll onto his magical journal.

As successful talented as Luna is, his spells occasionally in fail, such as:

* When he casts a spell on the parasites so that they won't "eat food", they begin to consume items which "aren't food", and subsequently destroy Vernadia.
* When he tries to assist with Winter Wrap-up song by animating a plow with a "come-to-life" spell, he loses control of it and makes a mess.
* In the Devastating Princess Aulia story, Luna tries to reverse Aulia's strange effects with a "fail-safe spell," but it fails. He also fails to stop her by his magic.
* He has difficulty performing an age spell, which he says is only for "the highest level humans".
* In the Miracle Movie Flares story, Luna tries to stop Jerry Starlight from casting a time-travel spell, but the spell he casts bounces off.
* Luna attempts to cast a spell in self-defense against the timber wolves, but it doesn't work.
* In the Spring Breakdown story, Luna casts magic against Storm King's guards, but it bounces off one of their shields and ends up destroying the section of the bridge he and his friends are standing on.

### Tobias Ratnasari

Tobias possesses a gem-finding spell in addition to the standard telekinesis, which occurs for the first time out of her control. She's adept enough with telekinesis to manipulate many objects at once when making dresses, and uses a spell to turn regular canopy into topiary. She creates a colorful light show and intricate backdrops for her second fashion show.

### Canterlot Presidential office staff

The rumor has stated that the intelligent humans have passive forms of magic, but the presidential staff can actively perform magic. In retelling of the history of Petrovburg, the ancient presidential staffs controlled the sun and moon before the rule of President Diana and First Lady Camilla.

A common ability among humans is using telekinesis to levitate or move objects, as seen with Luna and his girls: Tobias and Martin. The ability to cast other spells varies widely and sometimes depends on the human's special talent. Human magic requires concentration and effort, Luna says he needs a line of sight with an object to undo the spell he cast on it.

### Princess Finlandia and Principal Tony

These Canterlot Presidential main leaders are called "principal and secretary" in the prologue of the first story episode. Similar to the former campus leaders – Principal Chetverg and Vice Principal Kosovo, Finlandia and Tony possess smartness and the ability to raise the sun and the moon, a trait mentioned as being shared by all of the Petrovs. Princess Finlandia raises the sun and Principal Tony raises the moon; the narration in the prologue states that the ancestors from Equestria have been banished to the moon and took their place, raising both the sun and the moon and maintaining harmony.

When the presidential civilians are summoned by Princess Finlandia, she tells them that she and her counterpart gentleman once used the Elements of Harmony to turn Princess Aulia into stone, and since these leaders are "no longer connected to the Elements," Aulia has managed to escape. Finlandia continues, saying the Elements of Harmony are stored in a magically sealed room that only she can open. However, they turn up missing, and Aulia appears telling the Petrovs a riddle that discloses the Elements' location.

Princess Finlandia undoes Luna's magic in some stories in the series, where she calms Luna, making him out-of-control magic revert to normal, and where Finlandia directly uses her magic to undo the "want it, need it" spell cast by Luna.

### His Excellency President Diana

The noble gentleman uses his magic to create a barrier that encompasses all of the districts to repel an outside threat, later revealed to be the Soviet Forces. He and Camilla use their combined strength and love to summon the barrier anew and drive those chic invaders out of the republic.

### First Lady Camilla

The woman that is the adoptive niece to Princess Finlandia, was originally a young mother and possesses the flight capabilities of this race, as well as the active control over the magic that the people are known for. She is known primarily for her spell of love, which brings out the love the people have for each other. This spell is used during Luna's recollections of Camilla as his aunt. Camilla also uses a protection spell to keep Princess Aulia away from the republic. However, while maintaining this spell, Camilla is severely sapped of strength, deprived of sleep, and barely eats.

### Frederick Agustiana

Frederick is depicted as a prophet identified as a practicing expert at "speed-up magic", "using his magic to speed himself up and run really, really fast. He's not an expert at using his magic to slow back down".

### Martin Heldayeti

Like her dear boyfriend, Martin is very skilled in using magic and mentions that she has studied magic for years. She wields an ordinary citrus rays called the "Lemon Zest" while casting a spell in a ceremony known as "cutie unmarking", pretending this to be the staff's power instead of her own. She also uses telekinesis at long range, projects magical barriers, and shoots powerful magic blasts.

## Machinery

The Flim Flam Brothers use their magic to power their cider-making machine. Unlike Luna's "come-to-life spell" that he casts on a plow in Winter Wrap-up or Tank's helicopter-like contraption that has a magic glow around its axis, the Flim Flam Brothers' magic is used to "power" their machine, and it doesn't glow with their magic. The other being Rostov JK-1.

## Magical objects

### Moon sphere

The source of the element of miracle, commonly belongs to Luna. It usually glows white or the same hue as Luna's fave color, and the manipulating objects glow white, lavender, or pink. When Luna manipulates multiple objects at once, several other colors are used as well, his magic is uniformly depicted using a blue glow, although it is colored white.

### Lunar helmet

Luna's helmet, unnamed in most appearances but named the "lunar helmet". It is first introduced in the Miracle Contest in the LMB first story episode.

### Aulia's curse magic

They are introduced in the LMB original scene when Luna reads about them in his journal book It's told that they were used by Sweyn Forkbeard to banish Nightmare Moon to the moon to prevent her from plunging Petrovburg into eternal night. They are later used by Luna and his friends to reveal Nightmare Moon as Princess Aulia.

Initially simple spheres, the elements later become pieces of jewelry that match each of the main six Frihetens' cutie marks after they are used on Nightmare Moon: the initial five elements each take the form of the different part of the respective outfits, and the element of miracle becomes a Greek-styled helmet. Said helmet takes a new appearance after Luna's ascension to the "miracle boy" by winning the electoral vote for the Miracle Contest's ambassador.

### Crystal Heart

*Main article: Crystal Heart.*
Crystal Heart is a magical artifact used by the citizens of Petrovburg. In The Fluttershy Emperor and the Switzerland Garden story, it is represented in a crystal sculpture carved by the Frihetenburg citizens in honor of Vincent, who they venerate for being the one who saved the district by bringing the Heart to him.

### Magical mirrors

*Main article: Crystal Mirror.*
The Crystal Mirror acts as a gateway around Petrovburger districts that opens once every "thirty" moon. The gateway is behind the horse statue in front of Canterlot Presidential University. On the third day, when the moon reaches the peak of the night sky, the portal closes, not to open again for another thirty moons.

Due to the presidential inauguration, it was relocated to the Vernadsky Family House when President Diana starts to rule the republic. In the LMB Rainbow Rocks story episode, it is relocated once again to Petrovburg Embassy Office in Equestria. Luna uses one of President Diana's books that is magically connected to his journal book in the republic as a power source for the portal, allowing him to travel to and from the republic at any time.

### Staff of Sachsen

The Staff of Sachsen is a magical staff featured in the Spring Breakdown story. It is used by Storm King to fulfill Aulia's wish until she pleased him, such as draining the magic of Luna and his friends of the Petrovburg Heroes, granting him immense power and the ability to control the sun and moon.

It is also used by Luna toward the end of the story to de-petrify the curseful magics of Princess Aulia and to repair the damage done to the republic, especially Canterlot Presidentials. In the same story episode: Martin, Luna, and Jason borrow the Staff of Sachsen from Sergey to quell a magical lightning storm born from Storm King's residual magic.

### Memory Sponge

Memory Sponge is a magical sponge featured in the Forgotten Friendship story. This magical sponge is able to erase memories or fragments of memories from any being. Before the founding of Petrovburg, the sponge was wielded by an evil sorceress. Oda Nobunaga pursued the sorceress in order to destroy the sponge, eventually following her through a portal to the republic. When he finally defeated the sorceress and obtained the sponge, Nobunaga buried it at the center of a rock formation, where it is later dug up by Lester Amanda and used to erase the Petrovburg Heroes' good memories of Roman. It is destroyed in the climax of the special, restoring the Frihetens' memories.

### Time Twirler

Time Twirler is an artifact featured in the Roman Backstage Pass story that allows its user to rewind time. After making its way into the republic, it is discovered by Roman Lollipop and Kyle Fegelein – who use it to make their concert performance completely flawless.

Under Luna's advice, Martin and Celestia eventually find them out and destroy Time Twirler.

## Depictions in the series

### Luna the Miracle Boy

In this original scene, Princess Roman steals Luna's moon sphere and brings it from the Vernadsky Family House to Canterlot City via the Crystal Mirror, thus introducing magic to the Petrovburg capital city.

When Roman breaks Luna's moon sphere, she transforms into a demon style of Princess Aulia. She attempts to destroy Luna, but his loyal friends shield him, causing latent element magic to activate and give them the power to defeat Roman. Through this magic, the Frihetens "pony up", gaining pony-like features including pony ears, longer hair, and Pegasus wings (which the wings are only available for the Friheten Brothers). After Celestia and Luna return to the Vernadsky Family House, the magic still remains in the republic.

### Luna the Miracle Boy: Rainbow Rocks

### Luna the Miracle Boy: Friendship Games

In its animated short stories – Chetverg Hydro Science, Roman researches the republic's magic and how it works as the national magic. She eventually concludes that the magic manifests whenever Luna and his friends are "showing the truest part of themselves".

### Luna the Miracle Boy: Legend of Everfree

The Petrovburg Heroes acquire new magical abilities during a field trip to Camp Everfree, such as telekinesis, super strength, and super speed. These abilities are eventually linked to a set of magical geodes in the camp's crystal cave, which camp director Ethan Afnelia uses to gain power over plants. At the end of the story, it is revealed that the magic contained within the geodes originated from Equestria through a small dimensional rift.

### Luna the Miracle Boy other story episodes

As of the end of Legend of Everfree story, Princess Aulia takes the advantage of that leaking magic through a crack in the Wondercolt statue – in which Aulia claimed it as her curse magic, causing items to be enchanted such as Jerry Starlight's hand mirror in the Magical Mirror Flares episode, Luna's watering can in the My Little Shop of Horrors segment, a thief girl who looks like Aulia in the Huszar Squad Goals segment, and Dustin's smartphone in the Rollercoaster of Friendship story episode.
