To him magic is neither a weapon, nor a tool or even a gift, it’s his very nature.
Eons ago, when the other people of the galaxy were still infants, he was already the most powerful being to ever walk the material universe. The powers of chaos bend to his every whim and no one, not even the mighty and immortal princesses of Equestria can hold him off for long. He is Discord, the Spirit and Master of Chaos. For uncounted years he was the most dire enemy of the Craftworld Equestria, but gentle words and a hand offered in friendship banished the fowl influence of the ruinous powers from his mind and soul.
The Elements of Harmony showed him what it ment to have freinds, a home and a place worth fighting for. Even though his reformation wasn’t easy, today all his power and all his knowledge stand between Equestria and the evils of the galaxy. He may still be a trickster and prefer it to confuse hi enemies rather than destroying them. But when his friends are in danger the skies darken and reality itself will be torn appart by his wrath.
