Okay, I didn't know there was an official website with episodes. I'll consider that if I ever want a rewatch.
In this case, it's a bit moronic to expect every pony to be able to disintegrate themselves, the piece themselves back together somewhere else.
Well see, the weird thing about "winking in and out" in the first series was that it wasn't just teleportation; unicorns could also suspend it and stay invisible, and intangible, I think, making for some strange games of hide and seek. One of them, Baby Ribbon, struggled with the ability and often came back with only parts of her visible at first. So maybe what winking out means is they suspend some of the properties of matter somehow and become massless, and then they can just think their way across a space quickly, maybe with just a little telekinetic push. I don't think it's more ridiculous than the idea that pegasi have mass reduction as one of their Required Secondary Powers. But I dunno, if anyone has a better idea of how unicorn magic was supposed to work back then, we can use the "pre-FIM" thread too.
