http://images2.wikia...rd_of_faust.png Lauren Faust had previously said the pigs needed a home, with the addition of digging truffles. And if The Great Faust says so, I believe it's pretty settled that the pigs are not raised to be eaten. Then again, could they be supplying the Griffin Kingdom with meat? Who knows?

Exactly. When I said "wonder" I meant hearing the word itself. I see it as something that reaches to many different roots, including harmony. I agree with what you're saying, just your initial post was rather vague.

Yes... Friendship is Magic. But I feel like it goes much deeper then that. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but that's like getting a Swiss Army Knife and saying it's just a knife even with the variety of tools. The Element of Magic may be friendship, but there's much more to it then just that. As Alfonso said above, Versatile is the key word. I may have seen a piece of it as hope, but that the idea. Just hearing the word "magic" fills one with wonder. What could it be? What can it do for us? There's so much we can relate to the Element that the list is limitless, as is the meaning of magic.

Now this thought came upon me when I watched "Return of Harmony Part 2". Twilight is the bearer of the Element of Magic, possessing an incredible amount of power and the spark required to activate the other Elements. However, I see something else in our little unicorn. Take a look at the others: Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, and Loyalty. They're all positive aspects of how to live a life. Be honest, have kindness, share laughter, be generous, stay loyal... and then we have magic. What? Magic? Magic of what? We can apply 5 of the elements into reality, but magic? In the scene where Twilight loses her color and the Mane 6 separates, I saw Twilight losing something very different: Hope. She goes home, throws the Element away and packs her things to leave Ponyville. She shows despair. And what's the opposite of despair? Hope. When the other bearers fall into Discord's grasp, Twilight seeks to find the other elements and restore balance. Of course she did it because she was the only one up to task, but I saw that she was the only one capable of having the will to do so after losing hope itself. The letters Celestia sent did the trick, but those were all of Twilight's letters from the past. Through her own words and the lessons she learned, Twilight regains hope and the will to save Equestria. She goes on to find her friends, and basically installs hope into them. Applejack even said that she couldn't face the "truth" of her friends feuding in her visions, so she ended up telling lies. She basically lost hope in honesty, and instead took the path of desperation. Now all of these are my own thoughts, but hasn't anybody thought that there was more to the Element of Magic than just... Magic? Heck, it could be very well intended to be the Magic of Friendship. The element that brings others together as friends in harmony... What do you guys think? What does the Element of Magic mean to you?

God, I was really looking forward to it ever since Summer BronyCon 2012. But now that it's in Maryland, it'll be a nightmare to get to for some in the Tri-State area. Not only would transportation cost would be high for me, it's in the SAME WEEK as Otakon, the largest anime convention in the East coast. Folks would probably arrive early to prep for Otakon, and the hotels can only fit so much. I still got months to plan for it, but it's disappointing with all these obstacles in the way.
