Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Freshly freed from her 1000-year imprisonment on the moon, Princess Luna takes a student of her own to train in magic for the first time since before her banishment. The unicorn she chooses, Nova Shine, is a rather reserved unicorn with a cutie mark of stars and a moon, a sign of his potential to become a powerful spellcaster. However, his ability is hampered by his own self-doubt and his issues with anyone who tries and succeeds at getting through to him to get him to open up, such as Twilight Sparkle, a mare he had met earlier on the day he was selected as Luna's apprentice.Not long after his apprenticeship begins, Nova and Twilight are asked to come to Canterlot by their teachers to take a quick test and compare their abilities in magic. Nova and Twilight discover that they have been plagued by nightmares featuring old ruins in the Everfree Forest and a strange glowing vial. Nova and Twilight agree to investigate the nightmares and hopefully put a stop to them. Along the way, Trixie Lulamoon shows up, also suffering from the same nightmares, and as Twilight discovers, she and Nova have a rather rough history.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Together, the trio discover and investigate the ruin in the Everfree Forest and discover the subject of their nightmares: a shadow as old as Equestria itself, who has been using Trixie as a vessel and would like nothing better than to plunge a knife into all of their backs. Nova and Twilight escape and begin to work to defeat this shadow, rescue Trixie, maybe resolve their burgeoning relationship, and hopefully escape with their lives.The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan is an epic-length My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction written by FIMFiction user (and troper) Rytex. The fic was originally uploaded on 16 November 2012, and was finished a full year later on 16 November 2013, but he began rewriting the early chapters in early 2015 due to the contrasting quality between the early and later chapters, as well as to utilize characters that were fully fleshed out as opposed to not quite developed yet.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })In February 2016, the first episode of an audio drama produced by TrueSailorComet was released on YouTube. Partly due to the wider audience of YouTube (and partly due to being featured on Equestria Daily), the audio drama quickly gained relative popularity, outshining the original fic by a good margin.The fanfic can be read here, and the first episode of the audio drama can be viewed here. The fanfic had a sequel that was ultimately cancelled, though it is to be replaced by a separate sequel released after the show's finale aired. |

Supernatural Gold Eyes: When Celestia taps into pure sun magic, her eyes start to glow with the sheer intensity of the power she's channeling. Once she uses up all the magic she borrowed, her eyes go back to normal. It also makes her hair go from pink and inanimate to multicolored and wavy, like the show. |

Creator Cameo: Rytex's OC, "Quantum Bit," appears in the Interlude, and alongside his brother "Pen Strokes" in Chapter 10. They even come back for the finale so that Aegis and Sharp Eye can beat the crap out of them. His older OC "Black Hat" is alluded to in the Interlude, as well. The audio drama version features a number of OCs belonging to Truesailorcomet, the artists, voice actors, etc., as background ponies in various shots. Some of the people who did reviews also turn up from time to time, such as Fast Track. |

Virtual Soundtrack: Rytex uses a lot of Kingdom Hearts music to add to moments, though he used a version of "U.N. Owen Was Her?" and the victory fanfare from Pokémon Stadium at one point. Due to copyright reasons, this will be averted in the audio drama. All music will be composed by Truesailorcomet. |

Anti-Magic: Inmanipulon-stone, which absorbs magic when large enough, but at the very least prevents magical energy from being seen on its other side, even in trace amounts.

Breaking the Fourth Wall |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_1e7487cd |
comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Nova outright refers to the "backstory part of the chapter" they need to get past in Chapter 6 at one point. Nova is also aware of the fact that the chapters are being rewritten, since he seems to recall the old version of Chapter 8, in which he mastered a spell in a day instead of over the course of a month. The Interlude is full of them, from Lightning Lance remarking that if the readers want to hear the first part of the story of how he named his colt Nova Shine, they could go back and reread the beginning of chapter 1, to Envy noticing all five instances of ponies drinking tea across the many short stories and calling attention to it, even to her pointing out that this chapter's not canon unless it is. Nova even references the Interlude by name when Twilight asks when Sharp Eye and Fluttershy got together. Pinkie as usual, considering her common fanon interpretation. In Chapter 11, she mentions she already knows Nova is innocent because she read ahead, and even tries to spoil the next chapter, only to get shut down by Rarity. |

| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_2dc0d2bf |
comment |
Hidden Depths: A good portion of Chapters 6-8 is showing more aspects of Nova's personality beyond "snarky self-conscious closed-off magic-user who likes books and hoofball." He's really good with children, enjoys music, theatre, and poetry, and can even lapse into conversational iambic pentameter and haiku. Chapter 9 continues the trend by revealing a lot more about what he thinks of himself, and it's not pretty. Sharp Eye is apparently very well-read, something that Nova has a hard time believing. Sharp Eye and Twilight both chide Nova in wondering if he thought all Sharp Eye ever did was just bounty hunt and train to bounty hunt better. |

Beautiful Dreamer: A subtle detail that shows how Nova's feelings about Twilight had changed. The first time he has an opportunity, after helping put her to sleep, he simply shrugs it off and tries to sleep himself. The second time, however, after she has a terrifying nightmare induced by Envy, he watches her for several moments, musing about how where she had been full of terror before, she was now snoozing peacefully. |

Force and Finesse |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_2f3668fa |
comment |
Force and Finesse: Nova and Steelshod duel, with Steelshod attempting to subdue Nova with force, and with Nova more elegantly dancing about and countering with his own spells. Celestia and Nightmare Moon allude to this, as the latter attempts to overpower Celestia, but Celestia uses finesse to outwit her opponent. |

It Will Never Catch On: Nova doesn't think "a casual event where two best friends hang out in a completely platonic manner" will grow on him. It does. Also a Call-Forward for readers of the original version, since they are well aware that it does, indeed, grow on him. |

Embarrassing Nickname: Luna really does not like being called "Lulu" by her older sister. Twilight does not appreciate Night Light calling her by her baby nickname "Twinklesparky." He only does this because Twilight didn't call Velvet "Mom," so he thinks it's only fair. |

Shipper on Deck: Celestia is well aware of how the many different pairings of students ended up in terms of romance, and implies she may or may not have used it in such a way at one point or another. Bellatrix, Twilight Velvet, Tantalus, and Shimmer all conspired to patch the relationship between Shimmer and Ray back together after what Ray did. Trixie, when not being controlled by Envy, seems to enjoy pushing Nova and Twilight together in her own antagonistic way. |

Kick the Dog: If Trixie's POV segment in Chapter 8 is anything to go by, Envy has been playing rather cruel pranks on her over the month that she has been imprisoned in the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, though other lines show that Envy has had some Pet the Dog moments as well. Envy recites this trope by name after verbally musing that Nova seems to just lie down and take her orders like a dog. |

Hammerspace: Played straight in one case, and justified in another. Justified, in that unicorn ponies are able to store things in their Source, the storage space of which is limited by its depth, and can be brought out or put back at will (such as Rarity's fainting sofa). Played straight, in that Pinkie Pie, however, still uses hammerspace with zero explanation. |

Anguished Declaration of Love: Three of them. First, when Twilight tells Nova she loves him for the first time, while she is expressing her concern about Nova refusing to allow himself to forgive Tantalus Lulamoon. Nova doesn't take it well, going into a full-blown panic attack. Second, immediately before Nova is sent back in time, as he attempts to say farewell to Twilight. Finally, Nova and Clover to each other on Nova's final night. |

A few chapters later, it becomes important because the pony in question is Nova's old mentor and he plays an integral role in helping Nova get past his worst day. |

Not a Date: Twilight is rather forward about insisting their night out in Trottingham is a date, but Nova is not. It is then dubbed a casual event where two best friends can hang out in a completely platonic manner. A couple of chapters later, when they actually do decide to go on a date, Nova refers to it as such again just to troll Twilight a bit. Aegis insists that he and Trixie aren't going on a date after Twilight's coronation. |

Living Lie Detector: Anyone who has basic energy-sensing, apparently. A being who lies generates a physical reaction that causes a change in the energy the body is giving off, referred to as "the telltale flareup," that an energy-senser can detect. But it's not infallible. If someone knows what to shield, then there's no telling whether or not they're lying, but the presence of shielding magic makes it suspicious all the same. |

Deus ex Machina: The Consciousness of Magic. When Nova, Celestia, and Comet need to take the Element of Magic temporarily to battle Nightmare Moon, she shows up and possesses Nova to lecture him and Celestia, as well as to restore life to Sunbeam, Comet's future wife and Nova's ancestor, who had been murdered by Envy, thus setting all right as far as history was concerned. |

Hair-Contrast Duo |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_40b711d5 |
comment |
Hair-Contrast Duo: Where Twilight's mane is long and neat, Nova's is short and untidy. Twilight's is multicolored, Nova's is monochromatic. Et cetera, even regarding their tails too. While they are alike in a lot of ways (both are intelligent, organized ponies who are very talented in magic and enjoy learning about it), they are at opposite ends of the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism (at first), and Twilight generally represents the "fair" hair, where Nova is the "dark" hair. |

| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_40e8f166 |
comment |
Night and Day Duo: Nova and Twilight respectively, since their mentors are the Lunar and Solar Princesses themselves, It even extends to their personalities, where Nova is colder and tries to stick to logic rather than let emotion in, where Twilight is much warmer and more readily embraces her emotions, yet doesn't slouch when it comes to her own smarts. Clover takes Twilight's place come the past arc, but then the onis switch. |

Elemental Powers |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_42846e90 |
comment |
Elemental Powers: Apparently, every pony has an elemental alignment, and if trained, they can tap into it for a very literal use of their element. They are also able to be changed. A pony born a Fire Elemental could undergo a personality change until their affinity becomes earth or even water. Blow You Away: Mostly Pegasi, with a few earth ponies and a good amount of unicorns. They tend to be flighty and impatient, like to move around, and prefer to tackle their problems from all sides. Nova discovers he is one, which explains why he always seems to have sourceless wind blowing around him when he gets angry, as are Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Nova learns to harness the wind that comes from him and uses it to defuse several situations between himself and Twilight. Dishing Out Dirt: Mostly earth ponies, but with a few Pegasi and a fair amount of unicorns. They tend to be firm and grounded individuals, who tackle their problems head on. Applejack, Rarity, and Cadance are described as Earth Elementals. Making a Splash: Two different manifestations, either as cool and gentle spirits, or as cold and unforgiving types. They tend to wear away their problems with more patient tactics. Fluttershy is one, and Shining Armor is described as another. Playing with Fire: Their passions burn bright and they embrace them fully. They find the easiest way to defeat a problem and then devote all their power into getting it done. Twilight is one, even to the point of gaining actual control over her Burning with Anger form, as is her mother. |

comment |
The First Fundamental Law is that, no matter how powerful one source is compared to the other, magic cannot pierce or go through magic through natural means. Magic can push other magic back, but it can't go through other magic. Given the author's attempt at having magic operate under quantum physics, it's justified In-Universe by magic automatically snapping to particle state when interacting with other magic. However, enter the magi-gun, which somehow manages to force magic into wave state when around other magic, making all forms of magical shields useless, and it's treated as such a dangerous weapon that the protagonist resolves to have it destroyed when its usefulness has run out. |

Love Confession: Four total times. Aborted Declaration of Love: Twilight tries to hype herself into confessing to Nova multiple times, but it fails each time until Chapter 7. Anguished Declaration of Love: Three of them. First, when Twilight tells Nova she loves him for the first time, while she is expressing her concern about Nova refusing to allow himself to forgive Tantalus Lulamoon. Nova doesn't take it well, going into a full-blown panic attack. Second, immediately before Nova is sent back in time, as he attempts to say farewell to Twilight. Finally, Nova and Clover to each other on Nova's final night. Love Confessor: Twilight confessing her love for Nova to Princess Celestia. Played totally straight by Nova in Chapter 11, when he finally admits to Twilight why he came back instead of continuing to stay away. |

The Atoner: Trixie clearly is trying to make things up with Nova for what her father did to him years ago when they meet alone in Chapter 4. After that, she's back to her usual antagonistic self, with a side of Shipper on Deck. |

Beneath the Mask: Nova is not a fan of showing what's behind his Stepford Snarker exterior, but ponies like Twilight continue to find ways to get under it. Clover likes to keep her thoughts and feelings hidden, but like Twilight to Nova, Nova is particularly adept at bringing them out in her. Not to mention, she's a very expressive alcoholic. |

comment |
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: In Chapter 6, Nova seeks Princess Luna's medical expertise regarding the strange jitters he feels in his gut every time he's around Twilight that started after their night in Trottingham, and he refuses to simply accept that he's fallen in love as an answer. He doesn't even know how to react when Twilight confesses she truly loves him just one chapter later. |

Drowning My Sorrows: Nova ends up plastered all over a bar at the beginning of Chapter 10 due to what happened at the end of Chapter 9. His father manages to snap him out of it and get him on the path to making things right with Twilight. Despite spending a week in the bar attempting to stay drunk so he can forget, Nova doesn't exhibit any symptoms of alcohol dependence ever after, even though his enjoyment of alcohol never diminishes. |

Celestia tells Luna "What will come will come, and we'll be ready to meet it when it does" in Chapter 1, Ray Novus repeats it to Nova by the end of the climax. |

Emotions vs. Stoicism: Twilight and Nova respectively. Where Twilight constantly cheerful or expresses herself a lot more readily, Nova tries to keep himself closed off. And when he does let slip something after his buttons are pressed, he tries to isolate himself so that it doesn't happen again as a punishment. By the time he travels to the past, he becomes the Emotional side, whereas Clover the Clever becomes the stoicism side. |

Did You Just Have Sex?: Trixie teases Twilight about it in Chapter 4 in their first meeting. Though it's actually because a lack of nightmares finally allowed Twilight to get a proper night's sleep for the first time in months. |

Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Red rather than pink, but Nova serves as the blue to many mares' red as far as magical resonances are concerned. Twilight's magical resonance is a bright magenta like in the show, Clover's is implied to be close to the same, Trixie's is the pink that it has been in the show to play it straight, and Envy's is straight red. |

Like Cannot Cut Like |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_6678bcda |
comment |
Like Cannot Cut Like: One of the rules of magic. The First Fundamental Law is that, no matter how powerful one source is compared to the other, magic cannot pierce or go through magic through natural means. Magic can push other magic back, but it can't go through other magic. Given the author's attempt at having magic operate under quantum physics, it's justified In-Universe by magic automatically snapping to particle state when interacting with other magic. However, enter the magi-gun, which somehow manages to force magic into wave state when around other magic, making all forms of magical shields useless, and it's treated as such a dangerous weapon that the protagonist resolves to have it destroyed when its usefulness has run out. It explores the ramifications of this trope a bit, as well. Enchanted clothing by default comes with spell-shielding (though there are specific enchantments that give its article more energy to repel magical attacks, given that magic particles annihilate each other on contact), enchantments have to constantly be repaired after every run-in with magic, and ponies can't teleport through shields, but can teleport around them if it isn't a full encasement. |

Eating the Eye Candy: Nova, multiple times, to Twilight. First, when he spots her under the Hearth's Warming Lights tree in Trottingham, and that forms the moment when he falls head over heels for her. She was well aware of that instance. Second, when she emerges from a shower after washing prank paint off of her, and she catches him staring. Third, exploited by Twilight in their duel, where she managed to get Nova Distracted by the Sexy so as to win their duel. |

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Nova cracks up when Twilight mentions that her teacher is Princess Celestia. When he sees she isn't laughing, and she calls herself the Princess' faithful student, he manages to make himself realize exactly who he is dealing with. While in the past, Nova and Clover had a duel for fun that resulted in him accidentally blasting her into a tree with a wayward spell and gashing open her head. Without pausing to think, he used a spell that wouldn't be invented in several centuries to heal her, and when she's recovered, while she marvels at the spell, she manages to realize just how it is Nova would know that spell, and dashes off to be alone. |

Meaningful Echo: In Chapter 9, Twilight very firmly drills into Nova exactly why she chose to date him, when Nova is feeling more self-loathy than usual. Come chapter 11, when Twilight herself starts to tear herself apart because she would rather have been right about Nova cheating on her than allow him to prove himself innocent, he gives her the exact same lecture. They even start the same way. |

Magic A Is Magic A: Depends on whether or not you're reading the older or newer chapters. Zig-zagged in the older chapters. They make references to fundamental laws of magic, one of which is that magic can't go through other magic, but it sometimes lapses. Played straight rather well in the rewrite. Magic sticks to the rules as discussed by Twilight, Nova, and co. |

The Strategist |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_73641290 |
comment |
The Strategist: Nova, who will often utilize trap spells to maneuver his opponents where he wants them. Sombra, who came dangerously close to pitting all four pony nations and the Changelings against each other in a war, after which he would come in, clean up, and rule a continent. It take's Nova's intervention to thwart him, though the Grey Monarch notes that rally, he's only delaying the inevitable. |

Awesomeness by Analysis |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_73733868 |
comment |
Just like Twilight is very gifted in the magical department, so too is Nova, if slightly less so. His special talent, like Twilight's is magic itself, but he struggles to cast spells at first until, as Twilight puts it, he finds his niche. However, this is counter-balanced by Nova having prodigious talent at understanding the way magic works. After receiving a shock from the Sonic Rainboom, he is able to decipher and enchant every rock in a runecrafting test in mere seconds (becoming only the fourth student to do so), and is even able to comprehend and cast a time stasis spell alone (though with some energy reserves), when precious few ponies could comprehend it at all, and had to cast it in groups. |

Secret Underground Passage: Tantalus Lulamoon has one in his house that leads to the Canterlot Underground. The Canterlot Underground are implied to have several at different places in Canterlot. Lord Silverblood had one build into his manor in Canterlot to allow him to get into the crystal caves without going through the regular cave he said was shallower than it actually was. |

| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_78410584 |
comment |
She Is Not My Girlfriend: Nova's reflexive shout at Aegis every time Aegis teases him about it. Played with in the past, Nova is quite adamantly refusing to give into Clover's advances, but apparently Clover told Star Swirl that they were in a relationship, leading to no shortage of irritation on Nova's part when he has to set the record straight. Inverted in the Epilogue, Aegis insists he is not going on a date with Trixie. |

Amusing Injuries: Nova, over the course of the fic, has been scared awake by Twilight's loud teleportation which led to him calling out of bed, had his back scalded by hot shower water, been sent falling down stairs by an Absurdly Bright Light, been dropped in ice-cold slush right where his coat doesn't cover him, gotten his arm burned after correcting Twilight's grammar, and been bucked in the face by Applejack for making a suggestive comment. And those are just in the rewritten chapters! |

Bait-and-Switch Comparison: The opening of chapter 12 in narrative form, which takes place the morning after Nova and Twilight make their amends and become an Official Couple. A picturesque pair of unicorns exit a train, obscured by steam and very clearly in love with each other as they trot along happy with life. Moments later, Nova and Twilight, bickering Like an Old Married Couple, stumble off with Nova complaining about why they had to bring so much luggage. |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "The Night Apprentice offers many benefits. For starters, he or she is accorded the rights and privileges of the minor nobility until their graduation. He or she wilt receive the opportunity to learn powerful magicks directly from myself and my sister. He or she wilt receive an unparalleled education of the night, astronomy, and many other fields of science and magic, overall adding up to an education to rival many of the most educated ponies in Equestria. And finally, the Night Apprentice wilt receive a fancy title to include on resumes for job applications." According to Rarity, a lady does not spit out all of her drink at any moment short of poison or seeing your friend having the gall to wear mismatched colors that don’t go together at a formal event. Also according to Rarity, the Miasma of Muddling is perfect for suppressing magic and inducing sleepiness in its imbiber, and it tastes fantastic with earl grey tea if one has taken the antidote. |

Breather Episode |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_80a247a9 |
comment |
Breather Chapter: Chapter 8, a fun chapter in which Nova learns some more magic and has a play duel with Twilight, which takes place between the backstory-filled Chapter 7 and Chapter 9, which spurs the shift into slightly more serious territory. The Interlude chapter comes after the already-fun Chapter 8, but with less plot advancement and more fun, meant to celebrate five years since Apprentice was first published. Immediately after it is Chapter 9, which as noted above, is far more serious. Chapter 19, which takes place between the serious Chapter 18 and the start of the climax in chapter 20, shows Nova enjoying a quiet stretch of days, and is even called "Semblance of Normalcy." |

The Chooser of The One: Princess Luna and Princess Celestia both choose their students, so they are responsible for picking them both, though at the start of the story, Celestia chooses Nova for Luna because Luna is still getting accustomed to modern times. |

Large Ham: Nova really loves his theatrics. Beware the Silly Ones: But when he decides to be serious, you'd better run. Also, Trixie by virtue of being a showpony. Princess Luna, as per usual, with the ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE (which Celestia also uses at a couple of points, and Nova is able to tap into at one point). |

Medium Awareness: Nova displays quite a bit, referencing "the backstory part of the chapter" at one point, and even commenting about the original version of certain chapters that had been replaced and rewritten. Several ponies in the interlude, but it gets Handwaved due to the chapter not being canon (except when it is). |

Identical Grandson: Zig-zagged. Played straight with Twilight and Rarity, who all look like their ancestors Clover the Clever and Princess Platinum. Averted by Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, as Private Pansy and Commander Hurricane are referred to as male. Unknown in the case of Applejack and Pinkie Pie, as Smart Cookie and Chancellor Puddinghead aren't described enough to know. Also unknown, in a different way, is Nova's friend Aegis, because we don't know if Steelshod is his ancestor. |

Wham Episode |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_8e20979 |
comment |
Wham Episode: Being a story-driven fic, every chapter in some way alters things, though there are several moments that hit particularly hard. Chapter 5 - Nova starts to fall in love with Twilight, and Envy makes her first appearance, nearly killing both of them. Chapter 9 - Envy succeeds in driving Nova and Twilight apart. Chapter 11 - Nova and Twilight reconcile and go through a Relationship Upgrade. Envy finds Zecora and does something to her, and then takes possession of the Alicorn Amulet. Chapter 12 - Nova discovers that he and Nova Shine I are the same pony, thanks to having invented the encryption and enciphering method used in Nova Shine I's diary, and recognizing it on sight. He goes back in time, but then his older self is brought in wounded by Envy drops the internal bombshell that she has found and taken the Alicorn Amulet for herself, and that he's the one who's responsible for her existence. Chapter 16 - Nova and Clover finally confess their feelings for each other, and Summer Blossom is revealed to be the one who becomes Envy. Chapter 17 - Just about everything. It's Nightfall, Nova and Comet Novus take on Envy, Celestia takes on Nightmare Moon, Nova takes on Envy solo for the first time and absolutely destroys her, Nova temporarily becomes a bearer for the Elements of Loyalty and Magic, and serves as a temporary vessel for the Consciousness of Magic, and they all work to seal Nightmare Moon in the moon with the elements. Chapter 18 - Nova graduates and becomes the Night Master, and we find out the Princesses were guiding him toward becoming a Prince, which he rejects and storms off. Chapter 19 - Envy initiates her endgame by kidnapping every single townspony in Neighton and holding them hostage. |

Child Prodigy: Not to Twilight's extent, but Nova became only the fourth student in twenty-four years to enchant every rock in the Runecrafting Entrance Exam to Celestia's School and earned his cutie mark in magic. In Professor Hoofman's own words, he was destined for greatness. But then everything went wrong. |

| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_9471e1a0 |
comment |
Teleport Cloak: Nova's Night Master cloak allows him to "tag" a temporary location, so he can teleport to a more permanent fixed location and back. He mostly uses it to teleport between his house in Neighton and the Golden Oaks library in Ponyville, since a round-trip hike would be six hours long. |

Betty and Veronica |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_94e4c8ab |
comment |
Betty and Veronica: Per Word of God, Trixie was originally supposed to become the Veronica to Twilight's Betty for Nova's affections, but it never materialized. Considering Trixie and Nova were friendly rivals as kids, her and Twilight's positions could very well have been switched as well. By the rewrite, Trixie has even gotten rather supportive of Nova and Twilight ending up together, in her own antagonistic way. When he goes back to the past, Nova is a bit torn between the down-to-earth Betty that is Summer Blossom and the magical prodigy Veronica that is Clover. Clover as well has her childhood friend Steelshod and the mysterious pony that appeared out of nowhere in Nova. |

In Vino Veritas: Averted in Chapter 6. While Celestia brought Twilight to the castle's pub for a drink, it was as a pick-me-up after the events of the previous chapter and ensuing week. Before she interrogates Twilight about her feelings for Nova, she takes time to make sure she isn't inebriated before they speak. As well, under the influence, Clover reveals her attraction to Nova by shamelessly flirting with him. |

Then in the past, Shimmer Silvermane, Summer Blossom, and Clover the Clever all go for him, though the only one whose affections he returns is Clover, and then during Chapter 17 even Nightmare Moon makes a rather untoward suggestion that he's incredibly Squicked out by. |

Took a Level in Badass: Between Chapter 2 and 8, Nova demonstrates that his ability to use utility magic for his odd jobs is rather good, but his combat is woeful (he is only barely able to ward off Envy just due to the sheer intensity of the raw, uncontrolled burst he lets loose in Chapter 5). Come a few months of training, some time travel, and Chapter 14, he decimates a group of ponies and even takes down a unicorn lord who is no slouch in the magic department himself, making it look easy. |

Foreshadowing: In the rewritten opening scene, there's a unicorn casting some kind of magic on Nova, Twilight, and Trixie as they sleep, making them dream of memories before turning it into a nightmare. His magic is blue. He also apparently is able to close Luna off from her own dream realm, and according to Twilight, he would have to really know all three of them inside and out to be able to cast this kind of magic. All of it to eventually reveal that future!Nova was the one responsible for the nightmares, not Envy. Nova notices that his magical resonances, which are supposed to fade over time, are still around in his home when he hasn't been there in at least two months. There's also a mysterious, cloaked pony that he runs into at the Hearths Warming Lights festival in Trottingham. Trixie, currently possessed by Envy, remarks that "[Nova] wouldn't have me, anyway. Not after what happened in the past" when talking with Twilight about him. |

comment |
Continuity Nod: The story takes place before "Magical Mystery Cure", but after "Games Ponies Play." Due to it not being explicitly stated, much confusion was created in viewers of the audio drama. Even so, little nods to the show are made for the purpose of time reference. Chapter 1 has a letter to Twilight from Celestia, which first tells Twilight that the Night Apprentice has been named, but also that Twilight neglected to mention how she defeated an Ursa Minor in her previous letter. Aegis thinks no one would dare attack Canterlot Castle with the Equestrian military headquartered there. Nova asks him if he's been to any weddings recently. We also find out how Chrysalis knew about the crystal caves beneath Canterlot. It isn't a pretty story. Discord's statue in the Canterlot Gardens is a replica now, since he was released and reformed by Fluttershy. Twilight wonders if she told Nova about the time a hundred Pinkie Pies invaded Ponyville. Trixie mentions that Twilight humiliated her twice. As it turns out, Nova was also jolted into discovering his special talent due to Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom. Nova and Twilight practice magic in Sweet Apple Acres' west orchard, but are warned to beware of the fruit bats. While on the date, Twilight tells Nova about the time she charmed a bunch of rapidly-reproducing fuzzballs into eating everything except food, leading to the whole town being consumed. When Nova returns to his present time seven months early, he meets with Celestia and Luna right before Twilight arrives for their "test." The entirety of the chapter "Epilogue" takes place during the events of "Magical Mystery Cure". |

Secret Keeper: Ray Novus, Night Light, Shining Armor, and Princess Celestia are all in on Tantalus Lulamoon's plan to use an underground mafia family as a front to hide the diaries of the Night Apprentices and Faithful Students. Aegis joins in, though he's none too pleased about it. |

| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_a00fb5fd |
comment |
First Love: This is the Twilight pre-Equestria Girls, so she hasn't ever met Flash Sentry. Nova, however, has misguided views on love, so his feelings for Twilight are a very new experience for him. Nova was also Clover's, and in Steelshod's words, Clover never would have even considered love something to be taken seriously if she hadn't fallen for Nova and opened her eyes. |

Insecure Love Interest |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_a16d511d |
comment |
Insecure Love Interest: Mostly averted by Twilight. Despite her neuroses and occasional freakouts, she's very comfortable being in love with Nova, and never once does it make her any less adorkable. That is, until Envy splits them apart. Once Nova is able to prove he didn't cheat, she takes it very poorly, beating herself up over it and insisting Nova deserves better than her because he came back to set things right and she wouldn't hear a word he said. Played straight by Nova. Even when it's becoming clear that he's falling for Twilight, he lets his Heroic Self-Deprecation and perfectionism hamper any progress he makes in growing close to her. Comes to a head during their first date, when they're playing a game of asking questions, and he eventually can only muster "Why me?" He then spends several seconds tearing himself apart, only for Twilight to counter every point he makes. |

Nervous Wreck: Nova. He suffers a panic attack when he and Twilight kiss, hyperventilates when Twilight reveals she has fallen in love with him, and gets very hung up whenever the subject of his parents comes up, due to ten years' worth of fleeing from said parents and a desire not to let himself grow close to anyone (or anyone to him either) due to having had his trust broken in the past. Twilight as well, but to a much lesser extent. |

Super Senses: Nova's energy sensing, which allows him to sense anything that gives off any sort of chemical or arcane energy. It's stated to be an ability anyone can learn, but not many choose to. It can even be used to detect when someone is lying (to a degree), and he's able to tell someone is following him from the air very quickly, and that the same pony is in a compartment next to them on a train. Nova compares it to having another set of eyes, which can be blinded by powerful flashes of energy, among other things, and we see that it is far from infallible. |

Boy Meets Girl |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_ab5677c1 |
comment |
Boy Meets Girl: Played straight in an interesting way. The first half of the story is played straight. Nova and Twilight meet, Nova and Twilight fall in love, they lose each other, and they regain each other. The story as a whole as well. The same happens, but they lose each other as Nova forays into the past, and they regain each other yet again by the end. |

Blue Blood: The Lulamoons and Novuses (and all related families) all possess a degree of influence in Canterlot society, with Nova's father being a member of the House of Nobles just for being head of the family, a position Nova will inherit years down the line, though he becomes the equivalent of a high noble simply by becoming Night Master. |

Pyrrhic Victory: Sombra's game, before Nova's intervention, was to instigate a pony-changeling war, let the war end with one side's victory at great cost, and then sweep in and conquer all of Equestria. The war would eventually come to pass, but Nova was able to delay it so that Sombra couldn't profit off of it. |

All-Powerful Bystander: Celestia and Luna. At any point, they could go after Envy themselves, but they never really do. Then, Envy goes after Luna, leading to her becoming Nightmare Moon, and forces Celestia to act. Fast forward to the present day, and again, they do little until more of their subjects are actually threatened. The Consciousness of Magic appears to be nigh-omnipotent but only seems interested in making sure her Elements are not misused. |

A good portion of Chapters 6-8 is showing more aspects of Nova's personality beyond "snarky self-conscious closed-off magic-user who likes books and hoofball." He's really good with children, enjoys music, theatre, and poetry, and can even lapse into conversational iambic pentameter and haiku. Chapter 9 continues the trend by revealing a lot more about what he thinks of himself, and it's not pretty. |

The Don: Tantalus Lulamoon, in his disgrace over the incident at Celestia's School, took control of a crime family and used them as a front so he could continue to fulfill his duties as the Bookkeeper (it's implied the Princesses knew about it too). In his own words, he turned the Silverblood family from an overtly black crime family into a much lighter shade of grey, but he still maintains plausible deniability. |

Power Nullifier |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_ba0e3912 |
comment |
Power Nullifier: There is a stone known as inmanipulon that magic is 100% ineffective against, as it absorbs magical energy. Apparently it's exceedingly rare and expensive, in no small part because it's only found close to the frozen wastes of Dream Valley, but even in small quantities, it can prevent an energy-sensor like Nova from seeing anything on the other side of it. To date, it has been seen being used to protect the diaries of previous Night Apprentices and Faithful Students with Tantalus' help, and apparently Queen Chrysalis' throne is made from the stuff. Star Swirl knows of a spell that can neutralize the intangibility of monsters like ghosts or creatures of shadow. Nova learns it and uses it to create an amulet that can force Envy into physical form so that she can be hurt and can't heal herself. |

comment |
Everyone Is Related: Nova is the heir to the Novus clan, the descendants of Comet Novus' oldest daughter, and Twilight is a part of the Sparkle clan, the descendants of Comet Novus' youngest daughter, making them very distantly related. And as the Lulamoon family is said to have often intermarried with the Novus family at many different points in the past, this makes Nova and Twilight descended from Star Swirl the Bearded and related distantly to Trixie. It also makes Nova Clover's and Steelshod's own descendant. |

Berserk Button |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_bc74ef27 |
comment |
Berserk Button: For Nova, it's both managing to get him to reveal too much, pestering him to reveal more than he wants, or hurting children. In the rewrites, he displays some ferocity even towards those he considers friends if there's even a hint that he was/is being manipulated, or having his free will taken from him in some way. |

You Just Told Me: Twilight is able to deduce that Nova has been keeping himself closed off even from friends by suggesting he had kept Aegis at a metaphorical arm's length for some time. Nova suspiciously asks if she's been following him, and she happily informs him that his response has told her all she needs to know. |

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: A significant portion of the first few chapters feature Luna and Twilight trying their darndest to get Nova to realize this. Even after finding out he's an Alpha+ unicorn, he never really seems to get it until after he returns from the past, and even then he refuses point-blank to believe that he is anywhere near Twilight's level in magic when Luna believes wholeheartedly she wouldn't stand a chance in a duel before her ascension. |

Can't Hold His Liquor: Nova appears to be good at it, though the reason he's plastered over the bar just makes him surly (which he was before he took up drinking). Clover is not good at it. She spends the ensuing several minutes flirting shamelessly with Nova, and even making an overt sexual advance on him, before crashing in his bed. |

Cliffhanger: A few. Chapter 11's rewrite features Envy attacking Zecora and then taking possession of the Alicorn Amulet. Chapter 12 Part 2 ends with future!Nova arriving, internally revealing that Envy had acquired the Alicorn Amulet, and then revealing that he's the reason Envy even exists in the first place. Chapter 16 ends with Nova being pulled out form his Time Stasis early by Celestia, realizing what day it is (Nightfall), and then asking what happened to Luna. Chapter 19 ends with Envy kidnapping the townsponies of Neighton with the help of the amulet. |

Rage Breaking Point: Three instances in the first half thus far for Nova. Cadance refusing to back down from lecturing him, leading to him just screaming at her. Twilight continuing to ask how it was that he lived in so many different places and did some level of university magic, until he yells at her too. His parents setting him off by focusing on Nova's accolades and titles when they meet again for the first time in ten years, rather than asking about his experiences, though Nova comes into the meeting already primed to explode. |

Insult of Endearment |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_cbf5c04 |
comment |
Insult of Endearment: While not exactly an insult, Nova called Cadance "Cadenza" just to spite her when he was younger. Even after he stops loathing her very presence, he still calls her that, but with absolutely no spite involved. |

Sliding Scale of Fourth Wall Hardness |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_cc2402de |
comment |
Sliding Scale of Fourth Wall Hardness: Roughly semi-permeable. Pinkie Pie is as aware as ever in her few appearances, Nova shows some Medium Awareness and at one point even literally leans on the fourth wall, but everyone else is blissfully unaware as ever. Except in the Interlude, where everyone seems aware of the fourth wall, but the chapter is not canon unless it is. |

Per Word of God, Trixie was originally supposed to become the Veronica to Twilight's Betty for Nova's affections, but it never materialized. Considering Trixie and Nova were friendly rivals as kids, her and Twilight's positions could very well have been switched as well. By the rewrite, Trixie has even gotten rather supportive of Nova and Twilight ending up together, in her own antagonistic way. |

Girl of My Dreams: Nova and Twilight both have dreams about the day they met as Trading Day representatives thanks to future!Nova's attempts to warn them about what's coming, but it isn't played for any romantic tension. It's mostly to establish Nova as a character and his role as Princess Luna's Night Apprentice. They do fall in love later, though. |

| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_cf1e5580 |
comment |
Wizard Beard: Subverted by, ironically enough, Star Swirl the Bearded. Throughout the canon series, he's portrayed as having a really lengthy beard, but in his appearance in this story, he's got a rather short one, though it's implied he grows into the famous one later. Despite Star Swirl's irritation at Nova's expectations, he's also never referred to as Star Swirl the Bearded at that point in time, either, but only as Lord Star Swirl. |

Ship Tease: Nova and Twilight start off subtly, but it soon develops into a full relationship. Fluttershy and Sharp Eye comes in the Interlude. Aegis/Trixie, which only happens right at the end. |

From Nobody to Nightmare: Not even Celestia and Luna, who were alive before Envy existed, knew who she really was before she became the eternal nemesis of the Night Apprentice and Faithful Student. Nova even goes back in time to find out her identity and weakness. She turns out to simply be one of Nova's friends who had a romantic interest in him, and she lets her fury and jealousy of Clover "beating" her lead to attempted murder, and then to her transformation thanks to the Elements of Harmony. |

The Gift |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_e42fbc |
comment |
The Gift: A cutie mark of stars is an explicit indicator that a pony with it has a talent for magic, and as such, Luna and Celestia seek out unicorns with these marks as their students. Just like Twilight is very gifted in the magical department, so too is Nova, if slightly less so. His special talent, like Twilight's is magic itself, but he struggles to cast spells at first until, as Twilight puts it, he finds his niche. However, this is counter-balanced by Nova having prodigious talent at understanding the way magic works. After receiving a shock from the Sonic Rainboom, he is able to decipher and enchant every rock in a runecrafting test in mere seconds (becoming only the fourth student to do so), and is even able to comprehend and cast a time stasis spell alone (though with some energy reserves), when precious few ponies could comprehend it at all, and had to cast it in groups. |

Messy Male, Fancy Female: Nova is described as having an unkempt mane and tail, and his designs in the audio drama show him with rather messy hair all around. Twilight, in contrast, is no different from her show self, with neat bangs and a perfectly straightened tail. In the past, this continues with Clover, given she is identical to Twilight. Sharp Eye as well has rather wild hair, and is paired with Fluttershy, whose mane and tail are considerably neater. |

Nerf: Believe it or not, it happened in the rewrite. Nova's energy-sensing got brought down in the rewrite. Originally, it was a bit of a Story-Breaker Power, making him easily able to detect someone lying, or using magic, laying traps, etc. It still allows him to do all of that, but now it's a lot more like a supernatural form of eyesight that can even be temporarily blinded with an intense enough burst of magic close enough, and mostly keeps Nova from seeing everything coming before it does. |

comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Twilight never swears. The two times she has done so far have been when she was petrified with fear, and when she was livid with Nova. The former case was rather mild (she just asked "what the hell is going on"), but the latter case had her using the colorful swearing of Equestria ("feathering" and "peeved', namely) to express her discontent. Nova is almost shocked speechless when she does. When Nova first reads the contents of Clover the Clever's diary and finds an encrypted passage of text, and then discovers that Nova Shine I's diary is entirely encrypted the same way, he suddenly becomes single-mindedly obsessed with cracking the encryption, to the point where he becomes a total zombie, shuts himself away, and doesn't even snark back at ponies when presented the opportunity. Everyone around him notices the sudden change in mood. |

Freudian Trio |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_e8cae797 |
comment |
Freudian Trio: Played With in the first half, played rather straight in the second half. There are times where Nova will serve as the superego, and there are times where he will be the ego, with Twilight filling in the other role, and Aegis or Trixie firmly serving as the Id. Nova switches to a clear ego come the past arc. Clover takes the superego position, while Steelshod and Summer fill the id. |

April Fools' Day: A special chapter was released in 2018. Just over a thousand words, with Twilight, Nova, and Spike reenacting the memetic "Steamed Hams" sequence from The Simpsons. |

Blow You Away |

comment |
Blow You Away: Mostly Pegasi, with a few earth ponies and a good amount of unicorns. They tend to be flighty and impatient, like to move around, and prefer to tackle their problems from all sides. Nova discovers he is one, which explains why he always seems to have sourceless wind blowing around him when he gets angry, as are Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Nova learns to harness the wind that comes from him and uses it to defuse several situations between himself and Twilight. |

comment |
Played straight by Nova. Even when it's becoming clear that he's falling for Twilight, he lets his Heroic Self-Deprecation and perfectionism hamper any progress he makes in growing close to her. Comes to a head during their first date, when they're playing a game of asking questions, and he eventually can only muster "Why me?" He then spends several seconds tearing himself apart, only for Twilight to counter every point he makes. |

Bad "Bad Acting": Nova and Twilight, when Cadance and Shining Armor disrupt their lunch date plans in Chapter 12, start being overly melodramatic about it, for no other reason than having fun with each other, with the overly-dramatic swoon and everything. Cadance doesn't think they should be trying out for any Flankspearean tragedies anytime soon. |

Celestia believes it is because they misused the elements that this happened. |

Foe Romance Subtext: The way Envy acts around and when talking about Nova is far from subtle. Turns out it's feelings leftover from when she loved him in the past before she turned homicidal. |

Beware the Nice Ones |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_fccd06b6 |
comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Nova does not like conflict. He attempted to talk down Envy, Nightmare Moon, and Lord Silverblood before his respective battles with them. But when those fights got started, he demonstrated exactly how strong his prowess in magic was. |

Bitch Alert: Shimmer Silvermane's first appearance has her flirting shamelessly with Nova, only to get turned down when Nova discovers her Seduction Scent spell and nullifies its effects on him. Then she demonstrates her inability to take being told no. |

Theme Naming: The Novus family all have some reference to light or stars in their names (Ray, Shimmer, Nova Shine, Comet, Sunbeam). The Lulamoon family (and predecessors) are named after celestial bodies. Tantalus is an asteroid, Bellatrix is a star in the belt of Orion, Lucia is an asteroid, Bacchus is an asteroid, Star Swirl... |

Brick Joke |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_fe0330fb |
comment |
Brick Joke: In the first chapter, Nova insinuates to Mayor Balanced Budget that if he accidentally insults Twilight, he could find himself imprisoned, or banished, or imprisoned in the place he was banished to. Fast forward to Chapter 12, and Nova finds himself being arrested and informed that impersonating a Peacekeeper, something he did back in Chapter 2, is punishable by imprisonment, banishment, or in severe cases, imprisonment at the location of banishment. In Chapter 8, Nova reveals that he can speak in Gratuitous Iambic Pentameter if for no other reason than to annoy Twilight. Fast forward to the beginning of Chapter 12, when he and Twilight are being melodramatic about Shining and Cadance disrupting their date plans, Nova cries out, "I am afraid that I can help you not, for she has bound me far too tight to move!" It takes Shining a moment, but he figures it out. Twilight and Nova begin Chapter 12 with a debate over whether it was a good idea to bring so many suitcases up to Canterlot. It gets nodded to later when Twilight admits Nova was right about it, though Nova is too distracted to care. And then even later, Nova himself brings it up when he and Twilight are having a debate over whether events changed in time travel always happened, or could change the future they end up in. |

Sensory Overload |
| | The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan / Fan Fic / int_fec81854 |
comment |
Sensory Overload: An effective way at neutralizing energy sensing is shown to be simply letting loose an intense but harmless bit of magic, so that it temporarily blinds the one doing the sensing. Both Twilight and Envy use this to their advantage. |

Shown Their Work: The Playfair cipher Nova uses in Chapter 12? Perfectly accurate, with the extra row and column of characters. Comparing the old version (a simple encryption) to the new version shows just how much Rytex actually learned about cryptography between the time of the original run and the rewrite. |
