I think is a resource you can channel or create with the aid of years of evolution. Like uh... Like the sun? Plants use the sun to photosynthesize so it's part of their whole system of life, but others only use it to raise body temperature or transform proteins. Or maybe like electricity, were everyone possess it to be able to function and transmit instructions and reactions between cells and the body's components, but some animals have evolved to store and discharge a powerful amount of electricity to stunt their food or an enemy. So magic in that sense could be something everyone possess in equestria, some more some less depending on the attributes of an individual in their respective race and how they utilize that "energy", but there some species that have evolved to channel it to attack and for other convenient things. In my opinion is more like a type of energy.

can't deny that

I want to do something different this time. Let's says something positive. Better if you actually believe it (it can be any character if you don't have a specific pony) I'll start. Rainbow Dash. She's brave, confident, brutally honest, speaks her mind, pushes herself to the limit, inspires her same values in others.

I did gave my argument on Rarity. ...ugh! I'm not going to do this again . Someone takes it too seriously and starts rambling about how could you say something against the favorite pony trying to jank me out of the main comment and theme by provoking and pulling me into a void of discussion that completely goes into another direction from my original point. I'm only answering because they keep asking about it and arguing on it. Leave it at that, it's MY opinion on both characters Rarity does not follow her element for the stated reasons and it's a shame. It's a shame that rainbow is so bad at following her element too because she seems to betray it more given the chance for her selfish attitude. Loyalty is not only a presential act, it means don't be a jerk to your friends and family, don't betray them and their confidence in you. For that matter, Twilight is the one that also betrays her element the most for pushing her friends aside when she needs them the most given that her literal power couldn't be possible without all of them being together, but she has main character privileges. Pinkie Pie doesn't care for the happiness of others, she only likes the idea behind making others happy but for selfish reasons, because that will make HER happy. In many occasions right when something or someone deviates from her own ideal of happiness she throws a tantrum until everyone agrees with her. The only two that get the closest to their elements are Fluttershy and Applejack in a minor key. Rarity is not attuned to her element but no more than the others, is just above Rainbow if we put them of a gradient.

hm.... I can't take the breasts

But that's almost being true to the element by omission...

Are you sure of that? I think Rainbow has done a lot worse things and a lot more people seem to defend her more than call her out putting the blame on everything around her or trying to justify her.

Well well well... Let's not speak about Rainbow dash then. I think is more about the writer's fault than Rarity as a character herself. The writers LOVE stereotypes. And the easiest one with the rich, girly, sassy girl that loves fashion is to be selfish. And many times this characters are actually the villains, antagonists, or bullies in any show. So it's more about defying the stereotype with the writers prejudice. Rarity above fashion and above everything else she truly cares about her friends, that is undeniable. Sadly the elements became less and less of a thing that mattered as the series went on because it was "difficult" to write generosity with a character like her because of her personality and interests. Truly sad.
