@Ginger: So the elements are like emotion eaters, except they subsist on virtues. Seems kind of outlandish, but then, every theory is equally invalid at this point.

Picdump time! (There's going to be reposts, but they're worth another look.)

Actually, I think I know how to explain it.

Imagine a water wheel and power plant.

The wheel is the element and harmony is the river. Harmony turns the wheel, which in turn generates power before moving on. None of the harmony is taken by the wheel itself, it's just the means by which the wheel turns.

@ Ace

Whilst I agree with you, it also dosn't seem to take too much to actually form a friendship strong enough to use them. Nor does it take too much to earn your element.

But that might just be me.

Nothing forges friendship faster than six shared life-threatening experiences.

I had a theory that maybe the elements were degrading and becoming less and less picky (but in turn less and less powerful) over the ages.

Yeah, I agree with Ace. You just happen to need six ponies which have those particular virtues and which share a bond of friendship. If so, they're capable of claiming the elements.

Ok, time to start the Korra liveblog.

Sounds like something easier said than done. I mean, how often do you find a group a six friends, each of whom just happens to conveniently represent their own distinct element?

@Sereg I thought that was just common knowledge?

@Ginger: Some people believe that the Mane 6 were chosen to be the bearers of the elements beforehoof. That they were even born being the element bearers. I strongly disagree, but I still enjoy some fanfics that go that route.

EDIT: Oh, and Kyler, I never claimed that it was an easy thing to find. It's not.

Or maybe it's the other way around. Maybe the 6 virtues mix so well together that any 6 who have an abundance of all of them are more likely to become friends anyway.

So if you were to track down 6 people across the world who displayed each of the virtues and brought them together in one place, they'd be more likely to become friends one way or another.

@Ginger: I think that that's part of the future bearer of magic's duty. After all, friendship is magic. So how better to prove yourself a suitable candadite than by befriending the others.

Well, I'm playing the original Spyro, and I should mention that out of all video games, Mulp-Fim would likely fit the best in this one.

That's why I like to think that Celestia was subtley tracking down ponies who displayed the elements over the years and gently directing them towards Ponyville

It strike me that if you have serious Shipping Goggles, the first three episodes (Pilot and Ticket Master) seem to imply the Twi has so much swag, everypony wants her
