Discordian 6,015 November 5, 2011 Share November 5, 2011 So far we've seen a few here and there but do you think we'll get to see all of the powers (kinda) listed in the episode with Trixie in it? Also, what about the fire mane thing? I truly and honestly believe that the fire mane is not a spell but something unique about Twilight. It's happened twice now for no apparent reason without the use of her horn or magic. I believe they are going to use it for something epic involving Twilight.

Marshmallow 1,137 November 5, 2011 Share November 5, 2011 (edited) What puzzles me is why they changed her magic's color to red Also, the fire mane is nothing. It's merely a cartoonish effect used for comical relief Edited November 5, 2011 by Marshmallow "There was me, that is Pinkie, and my three droogs, that is Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy, and we sat in the Ponyville Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening."

Finesthour 7,287 November 5, 2011 Share November 5, 2011 I would seriously love to see more magic from Twilight. All we have really seen is simple things and small amounts of magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's merely a cartoonish effect used for comical relief Are you sure? Because in Feeling Pinkie Keen it seemed much more than comedy effect, she was even floating in the air when it happened. It suggests to me that it was more than comedy effect. I thought it was just a comedy effect at first because of the punch bowl being super spicy but after seeing it in Pinkie Keen I could swear it was something more they haven't explained yet.

Viscra Maelstrom 3,718 November 5, 2011 Share November 5, 2011 What puzzles me is why they changed her magic's color to redI think it's a cool touch that they added unique glows to the unicorns magic: Twilight being red, Rarity being blue, Celestia yellow etc. And imo, unless it's explained any further, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that her mane being set on fire is purely a touch of comic relief. It just seems so out of place to be anything really, realistically speaking. Although it is a unicorn we're talking about here, and that unicorn is Twilight. It could also be a sudden release of her wild, untamed powers running amok, but without any real clarification, I'm just going to say that she exploded of rage like that just for the sake of comedy.

Discordian 6,015 November 5, 2011 Author Share November 5, 2011 I certainly wouldn't put it past them to just leave it as comedy effect yet I still have this feeling that it's alluding to something they plan on doing in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slendermane 477 November 5, 2011 Share November 5, 2011 The fire mane is awesome. I definitely hope we see it again. Personally, I think that she still has some trouble controlling her magic, and she lost some control when she got mad. She exploded in the sense that she got angry, but she also exploded with magical energy. At least that is what I think.

LyraHeartstrings 482 November 6, 2011 Share November 6, 2011 Yeah, maybe firemane is just what happens when somepony as magical as twilight gets extremely angry... It's probably just for comedic purposes, but as bronies we must dig deeper! The red magic? Maybe it's showing that her magic is out of the ordinary. It shows that she is special and her magic is very powerful. I think Celestias is yellow now, but don't hold me to that... Why are you dragging your cursor over my signature? Is there a problem here? Do you maybe expect something special? Honestly, that's kind of creepy. Are you trying to get as much information about me as possible? Maybe you're going to copy and paste this into onto your little collage or all things Lyra? (me, not the awesome BG pony...) You seriously have issues dude... I pity you.

BizzarePony 199 November 6, 2011 Share November 6, 2011 I'm glad that they don't use magic as the Deus Ex Machina in the show. It makes it seem more real that way. Also, I think Twilight has the magical capacity to do ridiculously complicated spells, judging from what she has done so far. I think it'll be fun to see what else she has up her sleeves(?). Brace yourself. Winter is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fghik 360 November 7, 2011 Share November 7, 2011 Rarity had that gem location spell thing...Then Twilight learned it? If Twilight can learn anypony's spell... Wouldn't that make the other ponies sad and feel worthless, or not as good? Twilight's magical ability can possibly do more than we thought. Although now I'm curious as to what ELSE Rarity can do with her magic (considering Twilight 'took' her first 'trick')? And what any of the other Unicorns do... But what do I know? I'm just a stupid kid. ҉ .Eternal ¸.•'´¯Chaos¯´'•.¸Comes¸.•'´¯With¯´'•.¸Chocolate¸.•'´¯Rain ҉ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupus 127 November 7, 2011 Share November 7, 2011 Teleporting is interesting - in season 1 episode 2 she uses it to get past Nightmare Moon and to the Elements of Harmony, but it obviously is an effort and disorientates her. She then doesn't seem to use it, despite numerous occasions where it would have been kind of useful. Then in Lesson Zero she's teleporting all over the place at the picnic - maybe its something she can only do when under great stress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526 November 7, 2011 Founder Share November 7, 2011 You don't need to be the most magical unicorn in Equestria to have your hair go up in flames from sheer anger. I like to think that Twilight's mane really did catch fire. In other fictional worlds with magic, it's not uncommon for a wizard or otherwise magical character to lose control of their powers and wreak unpredictable havoc as a result. And what better way to lose self-control than an emotional meltdown? Besides, we've got this: If it was a purely comic effect, I don't think they would go as far as making the other characters aware of Twilight's floating in mid-air - let alone spending a full five seconds showing the light from the explosion reflecting from Applejack's, Pinkie's, and Spike's clearly horrified faces. Just something to think about. Teleporting is interesting - in season 1 episode 2 she uses it to get past Nightmare Moon and to the Elements of Harmony, but it obviously is an effort and disorientates her. She then doesn't seem to use it, despite numerous occasions where it would have been kind of useful. Then in Lesson Zero she's teleporting all over the place at the picnic - maybe its something she can only do when under great stress? I think Twi's just gotten better at teleporting, as well as her other spells, over the course of the show. 3 Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more to me like twilight is just being polite and not abusing her powers. Rather than just teleporting all the time and possibly making anypony jealous, she tries to be as non-magical as she can when in public. Usually we only see her using magic in the library. This is also backed up from season one when "The Great and Powerful Trixie(!!!)" showed up in ponyville. She refused to prove she was better than Trixie till she absolutely needed to.

It could be that she was so afraid she didn't even think about it. It takes effort and concentration to do magic, and she was too busy just trying to run away to focus on a spell. 1 Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

LyraHeartstrings 482 November 10, 2011 Share November 10, 2011 Does anyone else want to see the list of Twilight's 24 spells she has from Boast Busters? I'd like to see the other tricks she can do! There'd probably be more now though, since that list was made when Twilight had still just moved to Ponyville and was still trying to win her friends trust/affection.
