** Rarity's Dumb Rock Event was her innate, talent-related ability to find gems going off. Most Unicorns innately gain their abilities related to their cutie marks. Twilight's talent IS magic, so her first big release was magical energy at its rawest, which could be shaped into whatever abilities could be concieved (As seen with the gem-finding spell in ''A Dog and Pony Show'') hence Celestia taking notice of her potential. All unicorns seem to pick up basic cantrips like simple telekinesis and light(Snails), but their strongest abilities come from their talents.

*** The above is correct. They're not their respective elements because they behave a certain way the most of any pony, but because those elements are a fundamental part of that pony's personal values. Applejack may tell lies from time to time but those lies eat away at her until she tells the truth because she understands on a deeply personal level that telling lies is bad and being honest is important. Rainbow Dash does not have that, she's happy to lie for as long as she can get away with it.







to:

*** The show eventually shows that Spike was considered a part of Twilight's family and was treated like a younger sibling, although they didn't outright say it while they were growing up.




to:

*** He grew up in their house and is considered part of their family, though his exact feelings towards them aren't made clear, he does see Twilight and Shining Armor as siblings.

** Scootaloo is both physically disabled (her wings didn't grow properly and magically disabled (her innate magic doesn't compensate for her smaller wings like Bulk Biceps does).

*Why was the Castle of the Two Sisters never rebuilt after Nightmare Moon's banishing? Was it a case of Celestia not willing to be there anymore without her sister,or was there simply too much damage to even bother attempting to repair it?

* How do ponies survive inside a changeling cocoon? When we see Celestia or other ponies imprisoned by them, they appear to float inside, meaning they contain fluid, which must presumably fill the whole thing as there is also no visible waterline dividing this fluid and possible air reserves. That means ponies' nostrils are submerged, and for spans of time that would suffocate them.

*** "Surf and/or Turf" had her get all excited over swimming underwater as a sea pony, believing it to be like flying. Yet that was no closer to "her own abilities" than flying with the aid of technology. Though she didn't have anything strapped to her there, so maybe that doesn't ''enturely'' contradict that theory.
