By levelling up your Classique and Palais boucles, you can earn free imports! This page has the basic rules and tiers of MP/SP for importing a boucle via the MP/SP system. Batailles do not earn imports with BP.
- For custom imports bought from an importer, please read this journal: Importing a Custom Import
- For imports won in contests, raffles and the likes, please read this journal: Importing a Prize Import
About the MP/SP System
For the purpose of this journal, “MP” shall also mean “SP”.
The Magic Points system, or MP system for short, is our reward system for drawing your boucle and is handled by the deviantArt account BU-MP. For more information on what it is, how it works and how to use it, please read the following:
Rules
- All MP imports have to be earned through the system before they can be redeemed
- All MP imports are DIY, meaning the group will not design it for you
- All MP imports are uploaded by a group admin
- You can only have one import being redeemed at a time. If you already have one pending, you will have to wait until it is uploaded before redeeming your next MP import
- You can only redeem rewards from boucles you currently own (the owner can transfer them to you by replying to the reward comment with “Permission for @/username to use”)
- Only witch/wizard imports can be combined with a higher tier import and only with imports earned by the same boucle. Imports earned by different boucles cannot currently be combined.
Designing
When designing your boucle, keep in mind that we in the boucle group are fairly lax on design rules. As long the coat colour, modifier or mutation looks like itself and not some other marking of the breed you are good to go. Do not be afraid to take some creative freedom, we just love seeing what you can come up with! Mutations can also combine and interact, so feel free to take such liberties as well.
Redeeming
For information on how to redeem your import, please visit the Importing Starter Designs page.

Witch/Wizard Tier
Earned at 50 MP, 15 of which must come from non-lineage MP
- This tier allows you to import a standard rarity 1 MP import!
- This import is the only one that CAN be combined with other higher tier imports, which have to be earned by the same boucle. When combined, the witch/wizard tier adds another rarity point to your MP import, so a rarity 1 MP import becomes a rarity 2 MP import.
Conjurer Tier
Earned at 300 MP, 90 of which must come from non-lineage MP.
- This tier allows you to import a bonbon rarity 1 MP import!
Archmage Tier
Earned at 500 MP, 150 of which must come from non-lineage MP.

- Add an Ancients’ Blessing on any existing, non-blessed boucle of your choice
OR; - Import a standard rarity 0 MP import with Ancients’ Blessing
- Add an Ancients’ Blessing on any existing, non-blessed boucle of your choice
Click to learn more about AB Imports…
An Ancients’ Blessing (AB) can be any of the following magic types:
- Water
- Ice
- Earth
- Fire
- Air
- Stone
- Electricity
- Metal
- Blood
- Light
- Darkness
- Time
- Illusion
- Dreams
- Telepathy
- Creation
1. Adding an Ancients Blessing to an Existing Boucle
You can add the blessing to any boucle that doesn’t already have an ancients’ blessing. This means you cannot add a blessing to a foal that inherited a blessing from its parent(s), or a boucle that has already had a seer reward applied to them. You can bless any other boucle, including boucles that aren’t yours (with the owner’s consent).
Keep in mind that if you add Ancients’ Blessing to a corrupted boucle, the corruption will be fully or partially healed and can no longer pass to the offspring.
To redeem the Seer Reward on an existing boucle, note the Boucle-Unicorn group (not BU-MP!) with the following:
Title your note as follows: “[ID of the boucle who earned the reward here] Seer Reward Redeem”
Take extra care to make sure this information is correct and that you have replaced everything within “[]” (including “[” and “]”) – you can’t edit the title once the note is sent!Seer reward earned by: (ID & name of and a link to the boucle who earned the reward)
Plaque: (link to the plaque of the boucle who earned the reward
Adding to: (ID & reference/breeding note link to the boucle you want to add the reward to)
Designer: (@username of the person who will be designing the Blessing)
Blessing: (which Ancients’ Blessing you want to add)
Other wishes: (eg if you want to transfer a design from the old foal lines to the new foal lines etc)
A mod will then look over your note and, if everything looks good, give you instructions on how to proceed from there.
2. Importing a Rarity 0 Import with Ancients’ Blessing
If you choose option 2, you redeem it through the Importing Starter Designs page. Keep in mind that you get to count one unnatural modifier or unnatural dilution as natural, so you can still have one even though it’s a rarity 0 import!
Prophet Tier
Earned at 700 MP, 210 of which must come from something other than lineage.
This tier import cannot be sold for any form of currency.
This tier allows you to import a smoke rarity 1 MP import. This means the import can be any importable smoke colour, but cannot be cream champagne smoke or cream pearl champagne smoke as those are not importable. The import can also have one unnatural modifier or fange (for patchy smoke), and one additional heterozygous unnatural modifier or a heterozygous mutation (which can be extended).
Spirit Tier
Earned at 800 MP, 240 of which must come from non-lineage MP.
This tier allows you to import a standard rarity 1 MP import with any event horn! This does not include birthday birthstones like Tiggles Stone and Lumihorn, but does include event-based stones like Rose Stone.
Demigod/Demigoddess Tier
Earned at 900 MP, 270 of which must come from non-lineage MP.
This tier import cannot be sold for any form of currency.
This tier allows you to import an otherwise standard rarity 0 boucle with one of the following homozygous birthday mutations:
Birthday dilutions and the orca mutation are not available
Remember that you get to count one unnatural modifier or unnatural dilution as natural, so you can still have one, even though this import cannot have a non-birthday mutation!
Deity Tier
Earned at 1000 MP, 300 of which must come from non-lineage MP.
This tier import cannot be sold for any form of currency.
This tier allows you to import a spirit mane rarity 2 MP import. This means the import will have Spirit mane, which is only available to import at this tier.
