All good things come to an end. At least we had a good time on the ride. Friendship is Magic and this site in particular have enriched my life in so many ways, I cannot list them all. Yeah, my interest dropped off in the last few years or so, but FiM will always be something I can look back on with positivity. Rarity in particular is a character I will always cherish, as I have many other characters from various cartoon franchises. Better to end on 9 seasons of good, rather than dragging on and snuffing out like a dwindling candle. I'll see you all in MLP G5! Stay sunny side up, everybody!

I think my theory is simpler and needs less assumptions, but if you prefer your own theory, that's fine too. Let's agree to disagree.

That makes sense to me. Still, for the particular case of the "floating tickets", I don't think we need look any further than "It was probably Twilight doing it".

Possibly, or it might just be a sort of placebo effect... they might not need it necessarily, but are so sure they do need it that they can't find a way of making do without it.

Ah, but Twilight's horn does glow, as does Rarity's: And EVERY unicorn can use telekinesis, it's not beyond possibility that Twilight is particularly accomplished in it even at this early stage. And I'd still like to know why Spike's ticket is the exception to the "ticket enchanted to follow particular pony" - unless Celestia herself set it up like that, but then why would Twilight and Rarity even need to use their own magic?

I'd argue against the Crystal Heart... it was the Crystal Ponies who powered that up with their inner light, or some such. But yeah, most of those are valid examples of objects having magical power on their own. (Heck, the mirror from Equestria Girls probably qualifies too.) So I was probably a little too quick to disregard the idea. Thanks for setting me right. I still think Twilight was making the tickets float in Ticket Master, though.

I don't really agree that it can't be Twilight who is doing the spell. She is pretty boss with magic, after all, and in the earlier episodes, objects being magically manipulated didn't have a colour-coded aura that matched with a particular unicorn's horn aura, instead being just a more general white-ish glow. (Or goldenish glow, due to the tickets being golden and hey-wait-a-second-I-see-what-you-did-there-MLP!) If you rewatch that scene, Spike's ticket (which comes later, and only Applejack is still around to see it at the time) doesn't float, and he is just carrying it. This would be consistent with my "Twilight just using normal unicorn telekinesis to make the tickets float for her friends, except for Rarity who can do it herself" theory (try fitting that on a business card ) : Twilight isn't levitating Spike's ticket because she doesn't know about it yet. So that's my guess - only Twilight (and Rarity) have telekinesis and she is making the tickets float. In fact... have we ever seen objects having their own magic? (Helements of Armory and Cutie Map notwithstanding) It's rare to be point of being absent.

I'd go with water. Since fire burns oxygen, you'd probably end up suffocating either way, but fire is painful.

Ah, "Rarity hate"... how nostalgic! I thought that sort of thing died out around 2014.

Did I hweh mah name?

Luna hungers for brains!
