Inari sits down on her cushion and exhales softly.

Inari: "I guess in simple terms since we are casting this enchantment over such a large area, which requires an absurd amount of power. We need to do a bunch of different things in order to more efficiently use the power that we have at our disposal. Like the gold metal being better at absorbing your power, different mages have different affinities for different locations and times. For example you are much stronger during the day, while your sister is stronger during the evening."

"This list is designed to be representative of cardinal directions, North South West East. In order to encompass the entire nation we need to have representatives from each point. Or we would need significantly more power, which I do not have access to. I fulfill the northern point for obvious reasons, the illusionary flames, like the northern lights. You fulfill the eastern point, as the sun and moon rise in the east, quite literal flames against the darkness. The west is more complicated. Do you remember the phrase "burn as bright and brief as the setting sun"? It is like that, a fire of passion, of love, something we both know the Empress for. The southern flames are fires of fury, like a sandstorm, or the unforgiving sun upon the desert. Parlys comes from there, the desert was his birthplace, and he has that fury within him, which is why I choose glass for his  focus.

"By bringing together these skilled individuals from their representative directions, I intend to encompass all of Equestria with this web, a web of light."
