Why haven't we seen Twilight's newly created magic more?

[ManaMinori 4,149]

Or have we?

Back in Magical Mystery Cure, during Twilight's coronation, Celestia says Twilight did something Starswirl had never done before- which was creating an entirely new kind of magic that wasn't Earth, Pegasi, Unicorn, or even Alicorn magic, but rather......friendship magic? (because friendship...is magic?) Twilight is princess of friendship, and her talent is magic, which is just another word for her being princess of friendship because friendship IS magic. Literally. I guess.

 

Anyway, this newfound magic that she created was only brought about after Twilight finished Starswirl's spell...HOW she made it, to be precise. 

 

 

Let’s look at the spells. First up is Starswirl’s original, unfinished masterwork:
“From one to another,
Another to one,
A mark of one’s destiny singled out, alone, fulfilled.”

 

The unfinished version mixed cutie marks, choices, and destinies. The last line indicates that the purpose of the spell is to elevate a single pony’s destiny above all others. Without an understanding of friendship, Starswirl would have likely believed that destiny, like any other power, is a finite resource. It cannot be created from nothing, so if he wanted to create a greater destiny, a more powerful soul, with the power to fulfill such an incredible fate, that power would have to come from somewhere else. Or, to be more precise, somepony else. Pure speculation, but it seems very likely this spell was intended to create a single, supreme creature able to chain Fate to its will by stealing the fates from several others as a power source.

 

Since we know Starswirl predates Equestria and the Celestial Sisters, it’s very possible he had intended to create a monarch capable of uniting the warring tribes and bringing peace and unity to all ponykind. Sadly, without friendship, even the completed spell could never have achieved this aim.

 

The incomplete spell simply swapped destinies, choices, and lives, and then altered memories to fit. Except this doesn’t really explain the effects of the spell; Starswirl’s unfinished masterpiece had a much deeper effect on those caught up in it. LKooking back on Starswirl’s previous spells, it becomes apparent that his unfinished work followed the course of his previous studies. In short, it wasn’t a memory-altering spell, it wasn’t even a Destiny spell; it was a Time-Warp spell. Somehow, it reached back into the moment when the ponies first got their cutie marks and then transposed them into each others’ lives.

 

Now let's look at Twilight's revision of the same spell....

 

“From all of us together,
together we are friends.
with the marks of our destinies made one,
there is magic without end.”

 

When the Mane 6 defeated Nightmare Moon, neither Twilight’s horn nor Rarity’s was glowing. Likewise, they were not casting spells as Discord lay defeated and returning to stone. In both cases, the ponies were wielding the pure power of their friendship, channeled through the Elements of Harmony. This time, however, Twilight’s horn was glowing as she cast the spell, which then caused the power of the Elements to ignite, blasting her into the aether. In that moment, Twilight cast a spell that was both arcane unicorn magic and Friendship magic woven together as a single incantation.

It was that fused magic that allowed Twilight to turn herself into an Alicorn princess (yes, you heard me right, she turned herself. Celestia didn't. Luna didn't. Twilight turned herself.)

 

But I digress- since it's known that Twilight created a completely new kind of fusion magic (raw friendship magic + arcane unicorn magic), back in Magical Mystery Cure, what I want to know if is if she's ever seen using this new kind of magic (without the elements, because she's able to create the fusion magic without them and their rainbow beams of justice, right?); and if she hasn't been seen wielding this ultimate fusion magic, then why hasn't she?

 

 

What would you guys call this (seemingly one time only?) fusion magic? Would you want to see more of it being used, rather than Twilight's mere (now alicorn) spells, or the Rainbow Power from the ToH, rather than continuing to merge both magics? Now that she's an alicorn, would another type of new magic be created, when she combines arcane alicorn spells with the raw power of harnessed friendship magic? (would she ascend another tier, somehow, if she did?)

I always saw that as a complete rewrite instead of a revision.

Because if she did she'f be shooting lesser varients of the Hyper Lazer she shot at Tirek. The writers litterally have to play down the fact Twilight literally has more power than God in the MLPverse. Even the comics have her beating Chyrsallis One on One (both powered by the cheaty magic boost comet above them).

This question kind of confuses me a little.

 

I think instead of creating a "new" kind of magic, Twilight made new magic, as in a new spell.

 

At least, that's how I always seen it.

It couldn't possibly just have been a new spell. You think Princess Celestia, a being that lived for thousands of years and personally knew Starswirl, a pony who would continuously excel at making brand new spells, himself, would say that Twilight did something even HE couldn't, that thousands of other unicorns (and likely even some alicorns) "never been done before" and create a mere new spell?

No, it had to have been completely brand new MAGIC. Any pony with a horn could've just created a  simple new spell. That accomplishment doesn't get Celestia off her plot and say that that's something that nopony has ever done before.

hmmmm...I suppose? Twilight is already OP as heck. But what about other unicorns? What about Rarity? She uses arcane spells, sometimes, and also can harness at least a portion of raw friendship magic, through her element, with the help of all her friends.

I'm just really interested in seeing the potential of this brand new magic and how it works, and if anypony can use it, or if it's just horned ponies. .
