After the first meeting with Kubuya in the origin story. A lot of what follows wasn’t changed much except for the details I’ve already stated. Spike gets the book, releases Twilight so she can read it with him. And they learn a lot of how Genies work. Though when Spike learns that Twilight is Immortal and doesn’t age as a genie, it’s obvious in the Rough Draft when he starts thinking of the mindset of hoping Twilight decides to stay a Genie. However some things about the bottle and wishes were quite different.
In the rough draft, the bottle WAS Unbreakable.
You may have seen an answer done during the blog where Pinkie breaks the bottle with her head. If I had kept a certain detail from the rough draft. It wouldn’t have done anything. I kinda felt that was a bit of an overpowering of the bottle. At the same time I also don’t want to make it seem that the Bottle was Twilight’s life support or anything. You know, like how Jafar dies in Return of Jafar. (His lamp fell into the Lava, without it Jafar disappeared from existence). Because then Twilight wouldn’t be as immortal as we thought. And considering that Twilight can sometimes be around some of the clummsiest ponies. If Twilight died if the bottle broke, then It’d be too easy for a clumsy Spike, Pinkie Pie, or a crashing Rainbow to kill Twilight. If the bottle was completely destroyed, Twilight would have to find a new container. But she won’t get the full rest unless she gets the specially designed type of vessels that Malakhar’s capable of making.
If Twilight for some reason or another was not in her bottle for an entire week, the bottle would suck her in regardless of her status.
This one would be kinda pointless if this stayed because Twilight likes going in the bottle. So why would she even think of not going in for an entire week? It served as a point that it wasn’t wise to lose the bottle. But otherwise it’s not really punishment if Twilight goes in there every night.
There were a few rules to wishing. But only regarding giving others immortality, and control of the world. And Twilight could only refuses wishes regarding Murder or “Naughty” wishes
This is kinda deemed redundant by the fact Twilight can refuse wishes. In the rough draft it did kinda have a point though in the story since at least in regards to the first time wishing something (If it was a repeated wish, then Twilight could just do it again). Twilight had no control of the wish being granted. Also in the rough draft, bringing back somepony from the dead was impossible. While you know that in the blog, Twilight is able to bring back ponies from the dead. But she knows it’s a bad idea because of the huge cons of Necromancy.
