By then every portal to Equestria had been destroyed or sealed. In order to build a stable portal again, Sunset Shimmer and her friend human Twilight Sparkle (Sci-Twi) began researching Equestrian magic — in particular the seven magic crystals they had recently found in the Everfree Forest. After blowing up half a school laboratory they moved the experiments to Twilight's basement. Twilight and Sunset realised that the crystals were not energy storage devices but transformation devices that had been programmed in advance; the operation of magic even has certain similarities to a computer program.
