How many elements of harmony are there?
This is my first discussion topic and first post so if you find errors please message me. And any gaps where you think and episode would fit please comment it down below and I will have a look and update this thread/discussion as needed. If you have any questions or would like to add on. I made a very big question for myself to answer and if you want to put pieces together with me just message me with the evidence and I will add it with your name.????

 

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD! You have been warned…

I have a theory about the equestria universe (MLP: FIM & MLP: EQG)

 

There are 9 elements of harmony...
This may sound crazy but if you look at the picture shown in the beginning sequence for mlp season 1 episode 1 (mare in the moon part 1)(the one above), as it shows the elements of harmony in gem form, you will see 3 empty points on the picture.

as shown in the picture on the above(very top left) theses are the elements in gem form shown in the first episode of season 1 during the intro where celestia talks about banishing her sister to the audience. The picture shows 3 points with missing elements, either this was an error in drawing by the artists of there are 3 hidden elements.

 

In the centre is the element of magic and around the outside from top clockwise is; loyalty, honesty, kindness, generosity and laughter. They can be recognised by there distinct colours.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The currently known elements of harmony

 

Igniter element- this element is needed to be able to use the rest

 

Magic- twilight sparkle. This is the most powerful element of harmony, this element is the one to ignite the rest of the elements, without its spark none of the other elements of harmony would not work
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub elements- these elements require the igniter element to be within range when ignited to activate, without the igniter element the sub elements don’t work. These also require the other sub elements to be there when the igniter element activates to be able activate themselves.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loyalty- rainbow dash. This is one of the elements of harmony, this element requires the spark of the element of magic to ignite it.
Honesty- apple jack. This is one of the elements of harmony, this element requires the spark of the element of magic to ignite it.
Generosity- rarity (belle). This is one of the elements of harmony, this element requires the spark of the element of magic to ignite it.
Kindness- fluttershy. This is one of the elements of harmony, this element requires the spark of the element of magic to ignite it.
Laughter-Pinkie pie. This is one of the elements of harmony, this element requires the spark of the element of magic to ignite it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Unknown elements/unfound elements.

 

Booster elements- like the sub elements as they require the other elements and the igniter elements to be in proximity to be activated, but these elements are not required to be their when the igniter element activates, but when they are there they boost the power of the other elements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Possible names and bearers. (Characters who could have multiple elements have two or more names next tot them)
Ambition/forgiveness- sunset shimmer
Courage/equality- starlight glimmer
Love- princess cadence (of course)
Protection- (prince) shining armour

 

NOTE: I said starlight glimmer as an element holder because of the way she was willing to stand up and be responsibly for what she had done when she made her mistakes and she admitted she was wrong, which does take alot of courage todo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

How the element work, link to their bearers and what kind of magic do they possess.

 

The elements of harmony link to their bears based on how strong the bearer shows the elements power, for example, the element of loyalty links to rainbow dash because of her undying loyalty to her friends, she would much rather have friends than pursue a dream of hers, to become a wonderbolt (shown in the first episodes of season 1).

 

The elements are linked to the tree of harmony which is the object which controls the elements magic, this tree is what chooses the new bearers then links with them through an event, such as when the mane 6 all go their cutie marks the elements linked to them then, this is what caused them to be able to bear the elements.

 

The combined power of the mane 6’s elements is known as friendship magic, though this is an extremely powerful magic it can be beaten by Terek, who absorbs the power of the elements right of the mane 6.
But there is a more powerful magic, created when the mane 6 unlock the box in twilights kingdom, it was able to defeat Terek, who had literally all of the magic in equestria, including all alicorn magic, when it drained him and returned all the magic back to equestria. This powerful magic is known as harmony magic, it is produced by the tree of harmony when all of the elements (including the 3 booster elements) are in close proximity of the igniter element. The tree of harmony activates this magic when disharmony destroys equestria, it all travels into the bearers of the elements and also causes the cutie castle and cutie map to be created, this map is directly linked to the bearers and the tree, so when the tree senses disharmony in the land it directs the elements bearers to the problem to be solved.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Location of the 3 hidden elements

 

I believe the location of the 3 hidden elements is inside of the tree of harmony. I believe this due to what I said before about the tree emitting harmony magic, created when all 9 elements are activated in close proximity to one another. The reason why I say inside the tree, is so they are not discovered until the new bearers come within proximity of the tree, then the new elements will be revealed and reform into the bearers cutie mark, also at that point the new bearer will be added to the cutie map and get their own throne in the cutie castle. The reason why celestia and Luna did not get these element is as the three hidden elements were already linked to a pony from that time, the rest where then linked to them as they showed each of the elements greatest strengths, but because there were only two of them, they stayed in gem form when the three hidden elements unknown bearers passed way further down the line a new bearer for each were chosen, so until the new bearer gets close to the tree they will be unable to find the last three elements.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expansion of my theory

 

When the mane 6 had to give up their respective elements, the tree of harmonies gained full control of them again, but without breaking the bond with the mane 6. This leads me to the harmony magic, this is the magic that was created on the first time the elements where created and first used. Harmony magic is the strongest magic in equestria and can only be produced by the elements of harmony. This magic was created when equestria was founded on the first hearths warming eve. This is shown in the hearths warming eve episode of mlp when the three tribes final come together, when the second in command for the unicorn tribe suddenly lights up and dispels the windigos and creates a magical love heart in the air above her. This magical explosion is similar to the way twilights happened after the sonic rain boom. I think this explosion of magic was the creation of the elements and the tree of harmony, along with its own powerful magic, the harmony magic.

 

Also I think when twilight also had a sudden orb of raw magic around her, it was the trees way of bonding her with the element of magic. This just happens to be coincided with the sonic rain boom, speaking of that episode too. I think the elements all linked with their respective bearers when they got their cutie marks. Their cutie marks being the same shape as the jewels formed form the elements in the first episodes of S1. Each element links to their respective bearer’s cutie mark and personality. This connection is also shown in the finale of season 5 when starlight changes the future by stopping the rain boom, none of the mane 6 ever then linked with the elements of harmony, this then caused what happened in the alternate timelines, but only the original timeline twilight stayed linked with the element of harmony, causing the cutie map to still appear, this is because the tree recognizes the dis harmony, tries to fix it, but fails as the elements aren't linked to bearers, except for twilight, who still is linked, that’s what causes the cutie map to appear, the tree was only able to fix that much, and keep twilight and spikes memories, this is why they then remember each timeline and what happened to cause them.

 

The missing booster elements currently either don’t have bearers or the bearers have not been close enough to the tree to be fully linked with their respective element.
For example starlight glimmer may be a bearer of an element later on, she is linked with her element but has not been close enough to the tree to allow the element to reform and link fully with her, and the same goes for sunset shimmer, we see she linked with the human worlds version of the elements when she ponied up in rainbow rocks, but she has not come back to equestria of been near either dimensions tree of harmony to be fully linked with her element. The ninth and final element has no current bearer that we know of, either season 6 of mlp will show us this or the next equestria girl’s film will be the one to reveal all.

Questions and theories
11/01/16 Update 1 - Yamet, on 10 Jan 2016 - 9:17 PM, said:
The elements only works if all of them are used at the same time. So how did they use the elements if there are actually 9?

 

Thank you Yamet for the feedback.
My answer to this is that the mane sixes element represent friendship magic, so they are activated with one another when in close proximity to each other. But, when used together with the other three elements I think it will boost the strength of the elements to create a magic more powerful than friendship magic, harmony magic (theory of name).

please feel free to comment down below any thoughts of your own on this theory, it is much appreciated to see both negative and positive feedback.
if you have any idea on how I can this theory better into the show, please do comment it.
I will be updating this discussion regularly to improve detailing of the theory and to try an place that into the way the show is at the moment. hopefully season 6 will help bring more ideas and theories to the table. i will update this when I can, when i update a section i will put a date in front of it or as a title to show that from that point till the end of the paragraph is new or has be modified

The leaked episode list turned out to be fake.

 

Anyways, fun theories, though I kinda doubt something like that will actually happen in the show. Good read, though, especially since it's about time I read other fans' theories.

Thanks PacificGreen I have edited it. I would have done it alot earlier bit I've been very busy. Season 6 has left more questions for me to write about so I'm gonna try doing a mega theory once the season has finished.
