What magic does Pinkie have?

[Shady Mist 56]

When the magic was returning near the end of "School Raze part 2" what was that pink stream of magic that went into Pinkie? And what kind of magic was it, and if was her abilities why did it take so long to drain? Artifacts are spose to be the most potent, but if was her abilities it took just as much time to drain.

Earth Pony magic is probably the least explained in the series. It usually centers on two elements, either independently or a combination — strength and agricultural/food based. We can assume that Earth pones imbue magic into things they make as it helps to preserve food, though this could also be primarily related to growing as baked goods and other assorted food would use crops raised by farmer Earth ponies and the preservation magic carries over to anything made with the crops.

It's her pinkie sense, duh.

Pretty much, yeah. Pinkie has a large number of unexplained abilities; her fourth wall breaking (probably related to Pinkie Sense), her ability to store large objects (such as her party cannon) in a hammerspace, and so forth - everything that makes you shrug and say "well yeah, its PINKIE" when it happens.

Pinkie was given her powers and her cutie mark during the shared elemental event that links her to the others of the Mane 6. As with all else Pinkie though, it's best to not question, just accept (and that's the doozie )

In short, it's just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie.

It's fourth wall magic.

She might have swallowed an improbability gem while working on the rock farm.

It's the rule of funny. As long as it's funny, it doesn't have to make sense.

I don’t think even she really knows.

Which is less scary than thinking she DOES know what she is doing, and is deliberately manipulating the other ponies... You know, like Crazy Glow, but actually competent...

In the Season 8 Finale, it appears that Pinkie gets "her magic" back

after the Student 6 save Equestria.

 

What is she hiding? Discuss.

@imawesome Your thread had a similar topic to another recent thread, so I went ahead and merged yours with it.

I believe Pinkie might be a draconequus.

Spoiler

In one of the comics, she goes to Discord's dimension and is so overwhelmed by power that Discord has to fight her so he stops being mad with power. Discord wins, but almost loses.

Keep in mind Discord and Pinkie share similar traits and abilities, and the fact that we've never seen any other draconequus creatures, and that Pinkie Sense runs in the family, maybe the Pies are all secretly draconequus and hid on the rock farm so no one would know. Maybe it would even have a similar connection to the whole

ponies turning into trees thing seen in A Health of Information.

 Who knows?
