Finally got NLR and SE to war! the [CAN_LEARN] instead of [INTELLIGENT] bit did the trick! Thanks for the assistance to those who mentioned it!
I was contemplating doing something fancy with the new interaction system... I know there's been lots of different versions of assorted "Research" reactions where you bring this and that together to accumulate enough research points in the form of items, which you can then use in a reaction to create a different item.
We've also seen that its possible to transmit syndromes via boiling rock, which can be the end result of a reaction.
So I've been toying with the idea of making some caste specific "magic boosts"
For instance if you accumulate 500 research points and possibly collect a rare gem (that is a zebra toy/trade goods), you can create a spell tome that would teach a single unicorn a sleep spell.
Ideas of magic boosts:
Unicorn Magic - Sleep Spell, Heal Spell, Ranged Attack
Pegasus Magic - Burst of speed
Earth Pony - Stat boosts - Massive Recuperation boost on flee?
Generic - Give somepony butterfly wings for X time?
I'd love to hear some feedback on this, especially considering my initial idea was to make a less uh.. feature heavy version of the ponymod
