Unicorn spellcasting in Equestria must be documented well enough for ponies to learn each other's spells, which suggests that there is some kind of underlying programming language or spellscript being used.

You know Twilight is always pretty adamant about unicorn magic being the only magic despite the fact that all ponies seem to be at least somewhat magical. I wonder if she is ignorant about other forms of magic, magic is one of those words that has multiple meaings in Equestria, or if she's just being arrogant?

I think it's the difference between active magic and passive magic, only Unicorns have active magic, while the Earth and Pegasus ponies magic is strictly passive.

#43981 Ace Of Scarabs Thu, 24th Nov '11 8:33:55 AM from Singapore from Singapore

Perhaps she sees unicorn spellcasting as magic "proper" and does not count species innate abilities in a land as steeped in natural magic as Equestria.

@Mio like Ace said. Maybe Unicorn magic is the only magic that's actually dubbed as such?

Equestrians probably have different standards when it comes to what's natrual and what's magical.

'Magic' is referring to spells as cast by Unicorns...the passive abilities of the others is usually referred to as something else like...powers.

Perhaps Unicorn telekinesis is either a cantrip spell or a species-innate.

I suppose so, though it always struck me as strange and somewhat "elvish" when ever it's brought up.

Twilight apparently had to LEARN how to use Telekinesis from a book. Does that mean that not all Unicorns can natrually use telekinesis?

Twilight thinks unicorns are superior. So what? It's not she has any reason to think she's wrong

Telekinises is a Unicorn's passive ability, that they all posess when they mature magically. 'Spells' are linked to their CM.

Earth Ponies abilities need explored more.

Again, Twilight had to learn telekinesis from a book though.

agreed wholeheartedly on the EP thing though

She did? I thought she was just having trouble using it. I mean, I don't think we've seen any fillies use telekinesis.

When they mature magically?

The fact that she could use it without a CM is like an 8 year old doing advanced mathmatics in the real world?

CMC. When she was studying for her entrance exam. Least that's how I read the scene

Oh Twilight. You're so broken

Was that her specifically trying to learn telekinesis? I know she was trying to cast a spell, but I thought that the "moving objects around" magic was common to all unicorns.

How many unicorns have we actually seen using telekinesis? Twilight, the Sisters, the waiters in Manehattan, Rarity

Oh, and Trixie

nothing says that book was about TK, she could have been reading abook on anything, and just trying to use the TK to turn the pages.

Twilight wasn't learning telekinesis; she was practicing moving the pages with her horn and not her mouth.

Finished watching ep 13.

Wow, didn't expect Twilight to get so good.
