In Equestria it seems that a Unicorn's magic is limited by two factors: Their cutie mark, and their raw potential.

Twilight is limitless in both of these categories. She was born better than everypony else (which is fair enough in the sense that some people really ARE just better than others)

Telekinetic proficiency doesn't seem to be affected by your cutie mark, but I assume your raw potential controls how much you can ultimately lift. Personal training is probably what determines how precise you are. Have we seen Rarity lift anything particularly heavy? I don't think so (The couch I suppose), she seems to mostly manipulate smaller things in much finer ways. She's VERY good at multitasking (she can man an entire STORE by herself using telekinesis), which makes sense given her profession.

Now, It's been argued (by me too) that Trixie's special talent is stage magic, but even for that, her arsenel of spells seems impressively varied. I actually think HER talent is the same as Twilight's, Magic itself (I subscribe to the theory that the same talent can be represented by lots of different Cutie Marks). However, Trixie appears to have below-average to average raw potential, explaining why she simply isn't as strong as Twilight. To compensate she utilizes smoke bombs and other trickery

Imagine what it must feel like to know that you SHOULD be one of the greatest equines who's ever lived (Magic has gotta be a pretty rare talent) but being stuck with a sub par body.

... Or I could just be talking out my ass! I just got onto a weird train of thought.

DAT CACOPHONY

I suppose there really is such a thing as "too much pony", at least as far as serving sizes go. 26 episodes at once is sparrrrrrta.

Is it weird that I can actually focus in on one episode amongst the roar?

I think that is somewhat expected. Don't ask me to focus on the audio from any single episode because they mixed the tracks together.

But I can actually DO that though

I have indeed wanted to rewatch an episode but have been unsure which to rewatch. That isn't even exclusive to this series for me.

As for Trixie. Ginger's hypothesis is possible, but I still think that "performance" is more likely as it's something she actually is good at.

Your brain's filtering must be more effective than mine then.

He special telent probably IS performing, in all seriousness. She's a great storyteller.

She should read stories to sick children.

I just thought I'd provide an interesting ACI

Ham-to-Ham Combat: Rarity vs Trixie vs Luna. Who would win?

I hope tomorrow will be Cutie Mark Chrusaders episodes. I miss their crusading.

She would probably be good at that actually. ACI?

Also, ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE is a ridiculously huge advantage in a Ham-off.

Rarity vs Luna can't work. I don't think that is safe for actor to be both sides of Ham Combat.

D you think her cutie pix will spoil her cutie mark?

perfectly normal thread.

or is it, [[mom?

neither do I

pure imaginatiooooon...

here, have some anime

sad

I have no sound in my college, what do you think of this?

And yes, I finally did it, I browsed ponies in public. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Alternate Character Interpretation.

You guys should know me by now, I'm always trying to make the assholes seem more sympathetic than they actually are

The ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE doesn't sound like it requires THAT much magic to pull off. It would be extremely disrespectful, but I reckon Trixie could copy it (Projecting one's voice should be a given for any performer)

I doubt Trixie would care about respect.

Expect in the Aretha Franklin sense.

is that you?

I never considered that the Royal Canterlot Voice required any kind of magic. I just thought it was the result of Luna having literally godly lungs.

SHOO BE-Damnit! I'm 10 pages late on following up on sea ponies!

So, yeah, "The Cutie Pox" tomorrow...

Anyone watching the Green Lantern premiere tonight? :P

Did't that movie come out in the summer or something? Or am I Comically Missing the Point?

Since when Equestria Daily become Elder Scrols blog?

Luna had taken lessons from Aku in how to be a proper VOLUMOUS, DRAMATIC SPEAKER!

I blame Dr Who
