Head-canon Theory on Magic · 9:57pm Dec 5th, 2013
So, I was thinking about the nature of Equestrian magic and I came up with a theory. This is mostly head-canon, but I will reference the show when I can.
My theory is such: all ponies share one common type of magic, meaning all ponies can use all spells.
Now, it's more complicated than that, so just let me explain. Considering that any type of pony can be born from any other type (baby cakes), it makes sense that they all would share the basic "magic manipulation" gene.
