In "A Canterlot wedding", Chrysalis overpowers Celestia due to the power of Shining Armor's love for Cadence.
This led me wondering if other changelings could get so much power too. Thorax befriended Spike, Twilight, crystal ponies. So thanks to his new friends' love, I wonder how much power would he gain from them in a few weeks or months. What do you think?
