The Discord tihng went worse than canon.. he did something perhaps not technically fatal but inconveiniently close to permanent (Maybe banished her to a sundog for a thousand years?) before Twi managed to re-awaken her freinds and take him out with the Element artifacts, the rest like you said, but call the Equestria version the Cavalry Sabers. You could stick that Blueblood prick in the role of Mason (Or as Quincy, perhaps with Trixe as his Madigan) perhaps?It makes the the thing rely on happening kind of fast, but if the less reality-breaking of Discord's changes couldn't be reversed without Celestia's power, for example if hadnling both sun and moon was barely within Luna's abilities leaving nothing to spare for more general changes, anything that brought order out of the chaos would be at least some kind of improvement even if after a few years it turned out more adjustments were eeded. THis would also give Spike time to reach mid-teens-equivalent to match up to Mackie.

Science isn't a what, it's a how. You can study anything with SCIENCE! It's a method of observing phenomena and recording observations in a regularized way that allows you to, after poking X with a stick enough times, predict how X will twitch. If you can't get X to twitch or can't see the twitches, then either your stick or your magnifying glass are insufficiently advanced, and crying "magic" is what you do when you don't want to admit it.
