@Getfeisty1 I haven't thought about that very much, but just for what sounds right for the story: 
            It probably takes place decades after, since Jerboa III's enchantment left room for any incoming dragons who possess and express the animus gene to cast with no problem. So any new dragons who have these powers will probably have powers if they're born with them, however there will be a long gap in knowledge, to the point that some animus facts might be muddled at best. They'd still know about the cost of it's use, though, and how many dragons have tried and failed to stave off this side effect.
            But I'm thinking it's Jerboa III's spell that sparks the ancestors to the Nightwing!Wiztastics to gather up artifacts, anything they can find in order to preserve this valuable and now limited history. They create this store room of artifacts to keep them out of the wrong claws, and have passed this task down to their children, no idea that animus magic is back in the world. 
            This is all up in the air, but this has given me a good starting point for the story! Ty!

Does the WoF Mixels AU take place after Jerboa 3’s enchantment that got rid of animus magic? 

Animus magic is…interesting. 
            I like the idea, and in the books, it looks like it’s only truly broken and OP in the claws of a dragon with extremely high intelligence (exactly someone like Darkstalker, and if Qibli had taken Darkstalker up on his offer in book 10). But yeah, most older readers can think of a hundred different ways that its power could be used very destructively, to the point that it’s basically a magic nuke that wins any conflict every time. Don’t get me wrong though, I love the whole idea of animus magic, especially with enchanted objects that I use in my WoF Mixels AU, as Stormbolt uses them to give himself and his brothers a major advantage when they’d usually be the ones in need of mercy. And the Wiztastics! Their whole thing is that they protect a huge trove of animus touched objects! And while they’re not the best at using them, if the world needs them, they have them.
            It’d be really fun to write in some limitations, though. Like, the magic will not work if the direct result will be mass/entirely magic based death, like what was mentioned in the DS Legends book, how DS could enchant a stick to kill all icewings if it were to break. But with the limitations in place, if the stick were to be snapped, nothing would happen. 

Frosticons are also ice wings 

@TecknoGecko rainwings for the glorp corp puddings for the cragsters and klinkers and hybrid wise mudwing nightwing hybrids for the glowkies how's that for awesome and unexpected

Scorpi would definitely be a sand wing. Sand wings have tails that are similar to scorpions.

@jackiejones376 no problem, just trying to land a helping hand or a million or so. We're desperate for optimism in these trying times in the New Hell of America. However, I know that America was formed to be at least similar to something a bit less Hell ish like Finland when tbe Constitution was made, and then the Constitution was horribly misinterpreted for the sake of turning America into New Hell.

@CandyLovely148 thanks candy

Sorry I've been totally absent, Candy is right, I've been really busy with school (anywhere from 5-12 hours  per day)
            Things will be answered soon, but until I get some actual downtime, everything's on hold (answering things, replying, etc)

I can imagine some of the parents having a nursery ready 

@TecknoGecko hey your back i was beginning to get a bit worried

@Getfeisty1 
            For sure they record it, probably going through any measurements they got from the crystal while it was incubating (size, weight, glow strength, any changes).
            For the parents, they just make some adjustments like multiple hatching/birth certificates and blankets. 

Have you considered watching Felidae? It does touch on animal testing like Secret of NIMH but it has WAY more mature themes.

@TecknoGecko I've watched that movie too

@TecknoGecko the one with the widowed mother mouse  who gets help from a colony of escaped lab rats since they knew her husband.

@jackiejones376 
            Yes, I've just been very busy since starting work on my final project for school

@TecknoGecko hey you wanna see my new mixels story?

@CandyLovely148 
            Oh yeah! 
            I frickin love their Mixeloopsies AU, and I got to watch a couple Lalaloopsy episodes with them, and we started coming up with funny ideas cause of it lol

@CandyLovely148 
            My explanation was that Krader getting tied to the pole was basically due to a series of comedic errors. The Electroid’s deal is that they share power between each other as a part of the celebration (it’s a whole bonding thing). When Krader first tried to join in, he got blasted across the field, and Teslo wanted to stop the whole thing right there (I do believe bro holds the majority of brain cells for the Electroids). Krader then tried to have Zaptor and Volectro hold each of his hands to try and keep him in place. 
            This also failed spectacularly.
            Krader’s final idea was being tied to a pole so he wouldn’t move at all. And it does kind of work! Then he makes some genuinely terrible electric related puns, irritates Tes, and that’s when Seismo and Shuff pull up, thinking Krader’s about to get sacrificed.

@TecknoGecko hey wanna see my new mixels story?

@CandyLovely148 
            Someone posted about it on Discord, I checked the Copyright site to verify, and sure enough, no one's renewed it for a couple of years by now. I can grab you the link if you'd like to see for yourself!

@TecknoGecko I think I might like to see the link!
