I'm genuinely curious if she's going to keep the wings. Will Status Quo Is God be finally adverted?
Spooky.

It would be really odd if she didn't, after they made such a big deal of them.
The best thing about today was that this was the first time I ever watched a stream where it actually worked perfectly.

Welp. That's a lot of pages of discussion I've missed.
Damn it youtube, hurry up with the episode.

Star Swirl "abandoned" his spell because the first attempt of the incomplete spell caused him to "ascend", but not as he intended. After that, he didn't care about the spell, so it was "left" unfinished.

Well, Twilight ascending was cool and all but what about the new Cutie mark canon? It looks like a cutie mark isn't actually what makes the pony good at what it does, but it indicates that ponies destiny?

I don't know how much stock you can take in this episode's depiction of cutie marks. The spell seemed to rewrite their entire destiny, and the changed cutie marks were just one effect of that. I don't think under normal circumstances a pony is magically compelled to do something because of their cutie mark.

Considering that the spell scrambled the elements themselves as well as the ponies' "true selves", you can't really assume much on the part of the marks regarding their behavior.

@ Crowfall. Cutie Pox
But yeah far as we've seen Cutie Marks are simply a symbol of what that pony is, not something that defines the pony in and off itself.

The Cutie Mark is an inseparable part of who the pony is. It's their personality, passion, and skill expressed pictographically. As Twilight demonstrated in Call Of The Cutie, there is no magic that will create a Cutie Mark where one has not yet appeared (well, no magic until now).
It's an expression of who they are, right at their core. A spell that actually changes the mark isn't actually chaing the mark itself. The pony is changed fundamentally, and the mark is simply expressing that new self.

@Seraphem: I said normal circumstances. I don't think Cutie Pox qualifies.
Did they change fundamentally though? They still had the same skill sets and everything, they just thought they were supposed to be doing something different.

They still retained their True Talent (Patent Pending).

In a way, they did retain themselves. But to bring it back out required them to be pushed back into a situation where they could see what they normally would be doing, and then the addition of the Elements to compound the magic.

Its been established you get a cutie mark because you prove you're good at something, not the other way around.
Unless its magic chicken pox. Actually...if you get Cutie Pox, will you get Cutie Shingles later in life? I got the shingles once, not fun. At all.

That's an episode I could do without seeing. Applebloom getting Cutie Shingles.

Reporter Pony: Princess Twilight, what went through your mind when your mentor, Princess Celestia, bowed to you?
Princess Twilight Sparkle: Ho-ly *BLEEP*! Yeah, that was my reaction, too.

"And this was AFTER I was sitting in a plane of celestial existence between the Dark and the Light where Celestia and I watched videos of myself from the past three years. Freaky shit man."
