Equestrian Magic?

ok, So with the season finale, there was one scene that interested me. It's the scene where Celestia states that Tirek went after Unicorn's for their magic, Pegasi for their flight, and Earth ponies for their strength, but what made me curious is that he could STEAL FLIGHT. so... is flight magical in nature? Also to note, pegasi did NOT lose their wings when their flight was stolen...

 

So is flight Magical in Equestria?

 

This got me thinking more, and I've come up with this headcannon onto what magic is in Equestria. I'd like help with a few remaining questions I had. I call this Headcannon the "Magic Pool" headcannon.

 

MAGIC POOL is referring to the amount of magic in nature. There is a universal Magic pool, and everypony has access to it, however, when ponies are born, their bodies can't handle taking all that magic at once, so limits are set onto how much energy a pony can use before they pass out. These boundries increase over time, but cn be "pushed" or "pulled" back and forth by reaching the walls or avoiding them.

 

EARTH PONIES are given, from birth, a magical boost in their strength and speed. This explains why AJ can buck apples so easily, but it doesn't explain Pinkie, who we have never seen a burst of strength from. So is there something more going on? It also explains Big Mac and Braeburn's bulky builds, they've increased their magic pools more than the other ponies we've seen.

 

PEGASUS PONIES have wings for look and stability, but their flight is Magical, they don't actually need to flap their wings to fly. This helps explain how RD can pull off a perfect 90 Degree turn at the end of a sonic Rainboom. It also explains why Fluttershy is such a weak flier - she doesn't have a big magic pool to take her energy from, whilst RD has been increasing hers for years. Pegasi with bigger magic pools can fly faster easier.

 

UNICORNS are hard to explain. They, themselves, do not have access to the magic pool, but their horn does. It actually has a BIGGER magic pool than the other races, as it can access every magic Type (Conjuration, Illusion, Transportation..etc) though some are harder to get access to then others. (Transportation and flight come to mind as those belong to the Pegasi, also explains why Twilight can turn a bird into an orange, but has a hard time making Rarity into a Butterfly)

 

ALICORNS are given a seperate Magic pool, which is why their magic and not the others, can't "disappear', the resulting magical Imbalance would be enough to destroy Equestria and the entire world VERY easily. These magic pools are the homes to the "Legendary" magics, such as Planetary Motion, Immortality, Time Travel(maybe?) and other "god-like" abilities.

 

Any thoughts on what I can add/Improve upon?

Now that you mention it, flight can be magical in their world because it can help pegasi ascend, descend, and race up to high levels of adrenaline while they fly up to new heights. As for the headcanon, that could explain why Tirek wanted to drain the magic from all three races. Pinkie's magic comes from her Pinkie Sense. :lol:

"Big Mac and Braeburn's bulky builds" okay nice alliteration aside, Braeburn isn't bulky, he's got an average build for an earth pony, if on the slim side, unlike his huge cousin.
