w1kk3d 56 December 11, 2011 Share December 11, 2011 This may be a dumb question but... I'm writing my fanfiction, which of course deviates from the norm just a smidgen, (shipping) but I do get other things accurate, such as characters not breaking their main character traits. So I was curious how much Luna can do with her magic. I assume it's nearly anything she wants, though on a smaller scale than princess Celestia.

Swoop 2,278 December 11, 2011 Share December 11, 2011 (edited) Princess Luna possesses the same deity like powers as Celestia, though whether these powers are on a lesser scale can only be speculated, since the only cannon indications that she's not as powerful come from the difference in size and age of each sister, and Celestia's ability to banish luna to the moon for 1000 years. If you want specifics, the powers that Luna has shown (or those that have been mentioned during the series) include: Raising the moon. Wielding the Elements of Harmony. Weather manipulation (using lightning to repel the guards during the pilot, and making the clouds swirl above her in the sky when she decrees that Nightmare Night is canceled). Transformation (Again in the pilot episode and during Luna Eclipsed, where she transforms into Night Mare Moon, though in appearance only with a set of fangs).

I used to be a stranger 7,993 December 11, 2011 Share December 11, 2011 (edited) I imagine Night Mare Moon as some kind of possession or curse, analogous to that of Gollum over Sméagol in Lord of the Rings, conflated by Luna's pride and jealously. Thus for the 1000 years her true self was ensnared and trapped inside a shell of harmful ego, until set free by the Elements. Her powers I imagine are extremely similar to that of Celestia, but they be more directed at night, just as on the other hand, all the powers that be of the day are given to Celestia. For example, daytime contains most weather activity because of direct exposure to the sun as well as all consequent activities because of daylight, and the power of the sun itself. Nighttime contains all visible celestial activity of less brightness than the sun or moon. Eg: starlight, meteor showers, polar aurorae (aurora borealis etc.), and nocturnal activity. Oh, and the Moon of course. All geological and meteorological activity of the ocean is governed by the Sun, the Moon and planet plate tectonics.

Braeburn 52 December 11, 2011 Share December 11, 2011 (edited) not to sound incompetent or anything... but whats "shipping?" That sounds incompetent... Don't assume griff, assumings for ppl who hate on MLP before watching it. She, like everyother unicorn, can do whatever they want with magic. Only, somethings happen due to stress or emotion. think of twilight when you write about magic. Edited December 11, 2011 by sobadnomad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I used to be a stranger 7,993 December 11, 2011 Share December 11, 2011 (edited) Shipping: the process and industry by which goods, freight or mail are transported from a sender to a destination. It's name, taken from the verb to transport via ship or sea-going vessel, has taken to mean the whole of bulk or individual material transport industry, from Cargo to Mail. Shipping: the genre or sub-genre of fandom-generated fiction wherein characters that may or may not have a relationship in the deriverative work, are characterized as having a relationship. The name is taken as an abbreviation and made into a verb "ship" from "relationship" or "friendship". More properly identified with "Friend-ship[-ing]" etc. Can be used as a pejorative term to refer negatively to overly romantic, violent or otherwise deemed unacceptable relationships between characters.

Well when they first defeated Discord both Luna and Celestia used them against him after that it's not said what happened to the Elements but eventually they all end up in Celestia's hands hoofs. If I'm not mistaken I think when Luna became Nightmare Moon she was no longer capable of wielding the Elements, making them only of use to Celestia.

So now that Luna is good, she should be able to use them? Or no, it's just the main ponies... Could anypony with that trait be able to use them? Twilight sure seemed convinced Spike could take RD's place?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.The original Elements of Harmony were in fact destroyed by Nightmare Moon which is why they shattered but as the mane 6 arrived the elements reassembled themselves (through magic or something) into necklaces (and a tiara for Twilight ) in which only the mane 6 would be able to use. Even though Spike could wear it, if you watch him when they try activating them absolutely nothing happens to him because that Element can only be wielded by Rainbow Dash.
