Owen Was Her?" and the victory fanfare from ''VideoGame/PokemonStadium'' at one point. In the rewrites, one ''Kingdom Hearts'' song was replaced with one of the boss themes from ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler''. Due to copyright reasons, this will be averted in the audio drama. All music will be composed by Truesailorcomet.

However, Princess Celestia makes her play a music piece on a piano that requires her to repeat it 840 times.

* TricksterMentor: Celestia to Clover, full stop. She pranks Clover by making her play "Vexations", a piece that requires 840 repetitions, which Clover takes at face value. She's copying an exercise Luna had Nova do, where Nova played the third movement from "Moonlight Sonata". Clover decides it's a lesson in keeping focus despite a dreadfully-monotonous task, but it turns out Celestia did it for her own amusement. However, Clover does remark that her fine control over magic has improved dramatically because of the exercise.

* WhenThePlanetsAlign: Harmonic Convergence occurs when the planets align every 10,000 years. According to Star Swirl, this creates an alignment of each planet's leylines, which causes a surge of cosmic energy to come flying toward their planet, which is repelled by teh energy already contained within the planet. Being near where the magics collide causes a massive power boost to any affected spellcasters.

Twilight goes on a spa day with Rarity, and Nova (on a suggestion from Spike) decides to grow a mustache in time for his date with Twilight, when [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E6BoastBusters Spell 25]]. It goes very, very wrong. When they finally meet up, Twilight seemed fixes Nova's mistakes by changing him back basically to enjoy him as he was, and Nova just fine without one.simply messes up Twilight's mane to make it more natural to her.
