User blog:JohnConquest1/Fallout Equestria Terminology Blog

In this Blog I will detail some of Fallout Equestrias terminology and misc info that wouldn't fit or be deserving of mention on other pages. The purpose of this blog is to more easily explain verse related elements so confusion can be avoided with regards to VS Thread Discussions. With regards to events in Project Horizons, Fallout Equestria's most prominent side story, any changes that Project Horizons makes to the lore of the Original Story will be noted and described with a PH amendment beneath the original definition.

Megaspells
Megaspells are highly concentrated doses of magic gathered from various ponies or zebras that can be altered to various outcomes or results. Created by Fluttershy, the most common application of Megaspell magic seen throughout the story are Balefire bombs. Like real world Nuclear Power, these spells can be used in various other areas of science such as with Celestia Prime or The Gardens of Equestria.

Balefire
Megaspells that emit highly concentrated radioactive dragon breath throughout a wide spread area of effect when detonated. Very similar in effective use to Real World nuclear weapons. One major difference between the two is the latent necro magic that the bombs amplify as well. Creatures killed near the maximum effective radius of these bombs will often resurrect as Ghouls due to this (Example: Steelhooves). Small versions of these Balefire bombs, called Balefire Eggs, can be mounted to portable weaponry, similar to Fallouts own "Fat Man" Weapon.

Ghouls
Ghouls are regenerative undead ponies created by the latent magic of Balefire. They often appear horrifically disfigured due to the nature of their resurrection. There are 2 predominant kinds of Ghouls that appear in Fallout Equestria, feral, and sane ghouls. The closer a Ghoul was to the detonation site of a Balefire bomb, the more feral they seemingly become once resurrected. Ghouls, depending on the degree of feral, often exhibit and repeat patterns of their previous life before their transformation. They do not need to eat or sleep, and can live off of pure radiation alone. The rarest of all Ghoul varieties are Canterlot Ghouls. Canterlot Ghouls are significantly stronger than their brethren and are completely immune to the effects of Pink Cloud. Steelhooves is also a Canterlot Ghoul, and for a time was the last of his kind when The Enclave leveled Canterlots Ruins.
