Multi-purpose Magic Instruments

I like the weapon more than the whole picture this time. I tried to decide what weapon type fit Trixie the best; I landed on javelin after a while.

1) Long or short range alone didn't seem quite right, so I had a choice; either a weapon that could do both or simply one that's best at mid-range.

2) Her magic shows are focused on turning around the talents of others and piercing the opposition's confidence, in a manner of speaking.

The choice of a javelin with these two considerations came readily, and it has an added bonus; this thing can be used as a flight broom and general magic staff all-in-one.

Because of that, I worked her Cutie Mark (and bits of the Alicorn Amulet) into the design as a springboard for design and formed it to be as aerodynamic as feastible. The leaf on the end has a sharpened point that inhibits penetration on impact, trading it for flight streamlining and style. This lets her plant it in the ground like a rose, letting stronger magic come forth without blasting her back on cast or sinking the whole staff into the ground.

I'm not sure where the 4th of July color scheme came from, however...
