Rigid clouds and pegasi magic
- basic research proposal

Issue: Is it possible to make clouds rigid enough to support solid objects?

Facts:
- Rainbow Dash has furniture in her house
- Balloon of Mane 6 landed on cloud

Possible explanations:
- Unicorn cloud walking spell used on solid objects
- Pegasi have another ability to make clouds rigid enough to support solid objects

Thoughts: When Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy saw balloon landing on cloud, they weren't surprised by that fact. After that, they were terryfied to see their friends jumping out. That implies two things: Pegasi know that their clouds can support weight of solid objects, but they don't know that it can support weight of living beings. Therefore they don't know about such spell and possibly don't use it, prefering their own cloud forming magic instead.

Suggestions: We should aim our basic research at the pegasi cloud forming magic and confirm or dismiss this theory. It could have variety of practical applications, such as construction of cloud buildings and possibly airships lifted up by rigid clouds.
