Talk:Inspiration Manifestation/@comment-10390252-20140425081115

Here's my idea: I'm thinking that the book is actually a prison and the 'Inspiration Manifestation' isn't a spell, it's a noncorporeal magical entity (similar to how IDW comics portrayed the Nightmare Force). The Princesses locked it up because (a) it's indestructible and (b) it's so insidious that it can corrupt anypony. It even corrupted Luna, although neither knew it at the time.

Why wasn't it better protected? Celly, in her naievette, assumed that anypony would know not to disturb something behind a hidden panel and a locked gate.

I'm thinking it will still be weak and will be driven out of Rarity but will return as the villain in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1.
