Hmmm... Yeah I was think about how a Earth Pony can use magic in the form of alchemy and potions. Good thoughts!


every pony has magic, they just dont have horns to use that magic

in theory there magic could be stored up for a long time and once any non unicorn becomes an alicorn, they would have more access because they would have stored magic


Maybe that is why in Gen 5, Equestria has lost all its’ magic. Now that you mention it, I think your theory will make a lot of sense.


Honestly I think the balance of power in the Windigo days was towards the Pegasi. They're the ones who have a strong military, aristocracy, and the most civilised-looking society. Unicorns then had royalty but a shabby looking castle, and all their scholars were peasants. And Earth ponies had so much influence over the balance than them hoarding food almost started a war.

Though Canterlot's aristocracy coming from unregulated alchemy 100 years or so before present day is a nice idea


I agree with that 9said "everyone should become alicorons"


You know thinking back, aside from cozy glow just about all the main villains in the show were either unicorns or had some form if innate magic
Zombra:unicorn
Flim and Flam:unicorns
Nightmare moon:alicorn
Starlight glimmer:unicorn
Discord:innate magic
Terrik:innate magic (also sorry if I spelled it wrong)
Chrysalis: she's a changeling technically but she has a horn
That one dude that was some kind of evil shadow horse cause he was mad at the six hero ponies that were stuck in the shadow realm or something: I'm pretty sure he was a unicorn too
And Sunlight shimmer, alternate twilight, and trixi were all unicorns, let me know if I missed any


You forget something important, it is said in the show that unicorns powers are related to there cutie marks so it makes since rarity who has a gemstone cutie mark can cast a spell to find gems. And this is why twilight is powerful, her cutie mark is Magic. It appears to be rare for there cutie mark to be Magic. Only 3 people are shown I believe star swirl, twilight, and starlight glimmer. You can debate about Luna and Celestia but there cutie marks are the sun and moon so that's that's they are powerful enough to raise or lower them.


It's really more that writers never really DID much with the other pony races magic. Unicorn magic is external and concioussly controlled, it's really easy to do flashy stuff with.
It's also important to remember god damn everything is magic, and spells aren't the whole of magic. Rarities FASHION SENSE is a magical ability.

We also see a lot more impressive feats from background ponies of Earth Ponies and Pegasi, The train pulling scene involves four random earth ponies pulling something like 200 tons each for days, at I'd guess 60Mph. Or Pegasi having an AVERAGE cruising velocity of above the speed of sound.
Or the most terrifyingly impressive thing is earth pony stamina. Most animals die after an hour or two of exertion, not get exhausted, roll over and die, and the show confirms this is infact true for every type of pony...except earth ponies who can run for days, while Big Mac and AJ can run a hundred acre something farm just the two of them. That's HUMAN levels of stamina.
The average unicorn? TK and one other spell.

But again, this isn't explored, or really commented upon.

But let's go to uses for the crazy shit, Pegasi shoot elements out of their butts, why can't they do more with that? bend it like avatar, merge with/become it physically.
Earth ponies just have show what is impressive AS impressive. Aj can apparntly lasso the god damn moon, an earth pony villain could just casually destroy canterlot by taking down the mountain. Actually yeah let's never have an earth pony villain.

Also Magical items don't solve the problem because magic is you know, your soul. Magic items is getting someone else to do it for all intents and purposes, unless you crafted them I suppose, then I guess it's just weird.


It'd actually be an interesting concept if they made an Episode like this. Imagine, Unicorn clearly have too much privilege with everything shown in the Video. If they'd actually made an Episode about this, the Secret message would be about Racism. But knowing how child-friendly MLP is, I'd doubt it, tho they have some episodes that do speak about Racism, like Accepting Changlings and Dragons into their society and that they're just misunderstood. But Imagine tho, that'd be a interesting and great episode to stand for people of Color and Racism in general, like how are they going to resolve that kind of problem.


Me: looks at the video
Me: looks at horn

          cries

To be fair, most unicorns don't seem that powerful to me. Sure, both Twilight and Starlight were - but in their case, magic was just their special talent and they were better in it than almost all other unicorns (Similarly to how Rainbow Dash was better at flying than most other pegasi). However, most other background unicorns (such as Lyra Heartstring or Sugar Belle) haven't really been seen doing magic that would be overly remarkable or powerful, and that would give them an edge over pegasi or earth ponies, so I assume that this is the power level most unicorns have.


Most unicorns have really weak magic like they can only levitate stuff. Unicorns that can do actual spells are the ones with cutie marks in magic like Twilight or Starlight. That's shown in multiple examples in the show when only Twilight can teleport the main 6 while Rarity can't do it


ive been saying this! unicorns have so much in their favour its so unfair


4:32 Not Sawtooth sounding like my calculus teacher...


With gen 5 starting without manic made me think... what if there was a radical group agents magic. What if they succeeded?


Unicorn magic does seem like the most versatile, considering the seem to be the only form of pony with a natural conduit for that magic, but I would always remember how easily it can be canceled out, just by pressing on the horn...


There was a somewhat jokey fanfic that theorized that unicorns could use crossbows better than the rest, strongarming themselves into power.


I clicked this faster than Deku could break his bones


Wow you make excellent points. You see I actually was thinking about this for a while. In fact, in Equestria history, you probably don't hear of an Earth pony becoming an alicorn, only unicorns (and probably pegasus). Furthermore, if you ever go into talking about the new My Little Pony movie, I got a theory. I think that an alicorn ruler ruined something to divide the species which lead us to the plot of the movie.


I think the solution can be that using magic for their own advantage shall be banned, until the society agrees...


Just imagine what it would be like if they had Unicorns with Two Horns aka Twonicorns(2-Nicorns), do you think that they could cast two different spells at once, or use the same spell with both horns to make it twice as strong, or maybe use one horn for small to moderate level spells, and the other horn for more advanced level spells, and depending on the nature of their Second Horn, do you think it may be possible for Twonicorns to be more powerful than even Alicorns?


Please make a video about the mirror portal. Like, is it a natural portal like the one on the island? Or is it artificial?? And how did it come to be?


I used to thought that unicorns are op. But I debunked that years later because some op spells can be used if you sacrifice something.


Could have the earth pony's and unicorns upgrade to advanced technology, for example mimicking magic, via the use of energy matter manipulation.
Using teleportation tech' to disassemble an object into energy and from energy into data, then manipulate that data so when it's reconstituted back into solid matter its something completely difrent.
A psudo magic if you will.

Sensors to detect materials, cybernetics  to quickly retrieve them with out bringing in heavy bulky machinery.

Plasma or other energy based beam weaponry in place of magic beams from a horn.

Inter dimensional travel through time and space through spells, portals and time machines. Yes looking at you Dr Whooves and Derpy.

With tech who needs unicorns and their magic, in short....... We are the Borg, your likeness and abilities will be assimalted to serve the collective, resistance is futile.


Sawtooth: I'd rather give magic to those without

Map new generation: done and done


but remember that unicorns can only use some spells that can help them with their tallent<br>unless their tallent is magic

Could you do a video about the Storm King next?


You say unicorn magic is innate. Who says that there isn’t hidden innate magic inside earth ponies or Pegasus? In episode 25 & 26 the villain Tirek took not only the magic of unicorns but the Pegasus’s ability to fly and earth ponies strength. How could he take these things if they didn’t have magic properties? Theory: Perhaps there is a way for Earth ponies and Pegasus to even out the magic scales. Magic can also be viewed as a source of energy. Like wizards and sorceress in stories could access their own energy, why couldn’t Earth ponies and Pegasus do the same thing?
Lovely Hotdog commented that magic was based on talent. What if a earth pony got a cute mark that was related to magic?
But then there’s Cozyglow, now she contradicts a lot of things I just said, if her goal was to take away all the magic then why wasn’t the Pegasus’s flight and The earth ponies strength taken as well if they had magical properties? Theory: In three days time all the unicorn magic would be gone, but after three more days the strength of the earth pony and the flight of the Pegasus would also dissipate. I know that theory sounds a little far-fetched but it would match up with Tirek’s ability to take away flight and strength.


I noticed that the Gen 5 leaks portray a world where all the magic is gone and it hints at having a Pegasi empire and Pegasi royalty. I guess without magic, all the pony species really are more even.


considering the future we got after the show, they reeeally weren't ready for everyone to be alicorns. 😂


Interesting you bring this up actually if we go based on magic disappearing from Equestria then G5 is where we're heading since all the magic and Equestria is gone we can potentially see the results or frampumications of unicorns not having magic so should be interesting


I think the ecenomic question is based to much around our world rather than theirs.
Take jewels as an example. To us high value and rare but to ponies an everyday item. Consider how Rarity uses them with much thought in her creations and how it's not the value loss but the effort in gathering more that limit how many Spike gets to eat. Fist sized rubies, to us priceless one of a kind rarities, are the equivalent of dog biscuits.
A gem isn't much more valuable than an ear of corn untill we look at the very top sub 1% of top quality stones in Equestria.

And earth ponies power isn't something with the ground but their endurance. While a unicorn can do something quicker the earth ponies can keep going for much longer, likely outperforming in many tasks when measured over time.


And this is why my OC has an artifact. Wont explain it all here but its an example too. My OC became part Umbrum due to this artifact & became a magic user due to it. If interested in more & how I made it a fair ordeal with magical items hit me up! ^^ otherwise nice vid


What I think is the problem is not the regular, everyday interactions and magic uses of the tribes, but the difference between talented ponies of different tribes. Ponies have different talents, and apparently unicorn magic is based on the unicorn's talent. So magic was Twilight's talent, and other powerful unicorn's talent as well. But what about other tribes with ponies whose talent is their magic?
We will use 3 ponies as an example:
1 = An earth pony whose talent is their tribe's magic
2 = A pegasus whose talent is their tribe's magic
3 = A unicorn whose talent is their tribe's magic

1 is probably very good at farming and/or gardening. They could likely grow large amounts of high-quality plants, flowers and trees. 1 would almost definitely be pretty successful from the sale of these.

2 is probably a good flyer (like Rainbow Dash) and could move clouds quite easily or something. They could likely win a lot of races, and/or create a system something like 'pay me and I will make this beach sunny' or 'pay me and I will make rain water your crops'. Maybe not as successful as 1, but still.

3 is probably good at making/editing/casting spells, this is already pretty OP because... Starlight. Star Swirl was a unicorn whose talent was magic, and he created the time travel spell, and with it, the world is in your hooves. Not to mention all sorts of other things spells can do. They could cast a spell to make things grow, therefore giving them 1's abilities, or to give them wings and move clouds, therefore giving them 3's abilities.

Why am I writing an essay on animated ponies


Magic is like a birthright at this point but you also have to learn spells and learn how to fly


4:06 Exactly! Exactly! I don’t want to spoil my story, but...


For the alchemy point, it said snowfall was almost as studious as starswirl meaning average unicorns could probably not do that


Unicorns are just magical , hearing the word "Unicorn" makes me feel like wow it's so magical but look at Bridlewood tho-


Hm..I have an inquiry.
In the Beginning of the End, Rarity lifted a huge rock and we pan to her panting and tired from doing so.
So I think that yes, unicorns have taken advantage of their magic in the past, but in Gen4, books about powerful magic were probably stored in the Canterlot library, and some of those books showed of in the Golden Oak Library because Celestial might have wanted Twilight to learn more about magic and what she had to learn for her journeys.
Which is also why I think Celestia opened The School for Gifted Unicorns, so that those who showed the great power would use their abilities for good, and the weaker ones have access to simple spells and not those who can let them dominate.
But that’s just my speculations.


I just got out of the intro and I am already hecka intrigued


I do believe that unicorns have a slight advantage, but it’s only a minority that has magic that’s on par with the other tribes/better than other tribes. While the other two tribes are balanced (except for disabled characters like scoots) when it comes to magic, unicorn magic really seems to be luck based as to who has a special talent in magic.


I think that even though unicorns have a higher advantage everybody could become changelings just so it could be fair


"the solution is for everyone to become alicorns, but i don't think society is ready for that one yet..." i agree! (except Pinkie Pie i think you would nerf her by making he an alicorn...)


I think every creatures have some kind of magic. That's why Trek took magic from every pony.


3:17
Awe...
Your new form is actually really good


I was sure that Equestria is a lightly feudal society. The signs of that are obvious. For example, earth ponies represent the peasant class, Pegasus represent the knight class, and Unicorns represent the nobles.


Well think of it this way. Only certain amount of unicorns can perform complex spells. Like twilight, the princess, star swirl, starlight, sunset, and others. But like twilight said. Unicorns with different talents have magic that assist there talent and well for those I said have talents that relate to magic


i think that it should be solved by:

Earth ponies should keep to them selves and by growing crops and building houses and stuff but all should have potions for if something goes wrong and they cant grow more crops when they need it.
Their potion will be able to grow crops out of seeds in an hour or two and that will help them!
But the alicorns will use their powers to make it since we've seen how powerful they all actually are and some little potions wont hurt to make.
Solving the earth pony problems on flying they all can use hot air balloons and if they want to stay on land i guess the pegasus should make roads? cuz we saw that any type of pony can stand on roads while afloat but only for a certain time for these ponies!

ima still edit but i gtg so ill continue writing later :p


How often people forget that Earth Ponies and Pegasi have their own magic. The innate ability to fly, walk on clouds, control the weather IS Magic. Earth pony super strength IS magic. Just because unicorns can actively cast magic doesn't mean that they have a monopoly, and I once wrote a story how Earth Ponies could overcome issues with their innate magic, where unicorns couldn't with their innate casting.

Wouldn't recommend looking it up though :P


Sir what would have happened if Twilight didn't try to steal the pearl of the hippogrifs


I don't think there's a problem here. Because in season 1, episode "Boast Busters", it is said that a Unicorn has little magic and can do simple feats such as levitation or illumination. They also have a spell that relates to their cutie mark. But that's it.
However, ponies whose speciality is magic, such as Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, they can do incredible magical feats. Since these kinds of ponies are far more rare, there is no imbalance of magic.
However, I do agree with you that pegasi and especially earth ponies should have more access to magic because I alwys thought that unicorns were pretty OP.


Omg i thought about this back when I was so into mlp and wanted to be an unicorn just because they can use magic to fly and do other things even tho having a pair of wings must be really cool.


Sawtooth: just between you and me the best solution is for everyone to become alicorns<br>Me who has a alicorn OC: YESS

Sawtooth: just between you and me the best solution is for everyone to become alicorns
Me who has a alicorn OC: YESS


My only problem with this is that if everyone was equal there would be no reason for most ponies to want to do the hard work like farming which is needed to feed the whole kingdom.  A similar problem can be found in real life where as technology advances and more people are given the kind of education to allow them to climb the social ladder through choosing a better job the number of farmers declines and further advances have to be made to even out this problem by using machines that lower the quality of the crops and often cause damage like the  episode of my little pony where they have a cider competition with the brothers and their machine.  Speaking as a member of the lower class I would like to say that I've seen this happen in my own hometown where the younger generations don't know how farming works.  I don't even know what crops grow in which seasons which admittedly is really sad to admit.


I don't think society is ready for that....yet😝


“Everyone to become alicorns.”<br>Alright, where’s the bug spray

“Everyone to become alicorns.”
Alright, where’s the bug spray


i dont think unicorns have a big adventage. Since unicorns do not have much power unless they go to a magic school or something.
All ponies have magic seen from the tyrek episode, even earthponies contained magic.
I actually made my mlp oc based of this problem of pony society and religions thinking that unicorns are too powerful and have been sinners in their past life, and only way to get rid of the sins is to cut off their horn.


Well, there’s also magic runes, like Futhark, which don’t require a horn to create.


I agree with you unicorns 🦄 seem first class and I agree with you for key to this problem.


Unicorns are most powerful but I like pegasi better


We gotta love the "pull a cozy glow" though.


Depends if null stone effects Internal magic, also unicorn are more vulnerable to magic (Tirek) and just plain less durable


I guess they are OP compared, especially earth ponys are left in the dust.

BUT I believe that is partly intentional by the show and does not need fixing.

Fact is... some humans simply are frail, less intelligent or lack many skills or are just part of the "lower society" and a few are the opposite, that is a fact. Some have influence and power and most others do not.

But in equestria there is a small difference... they might have that huge difference in power but they just simply don't care... twilight for example is basically royalti , but she hangs out with a simple farmer, a simple animal breeder etc. , so does rarity who could be counted as upper class aswell.

Power doesn't really matter in equestria as it is all about the harmony of the whole package , so ultimately it doesn't matter whatsoever what pony-race one is born into, equestrian society is build in a way that sort of balances it all out simply because of the fact that the ponys usually just simply get along and usually don't follow principles of greed or maliciousness.

It doesn't matter if one is frail if one always knows that someone else has ones back if needed and if there isn't really anything that could be cobsidered a big threat to defend against.

Granted there are a few bad ones but even they really aren't that bad.


You are the MLP version of bright side. 🤔


I think the solution (other than everyone becoming an alicorn ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ) is for every tribe to have their own kind of power. For example; earth ponies can have the power to control the earth like earthbenders, pegasi can have the power to control the weather without having to go around and look for a cloud. I think that whould be fair, since i don't think unicorns don't have spells for both of these. Maybe Twilight, Flurry, or whatever alicorn that chould be around can cast a spell that gives these tribes powers.


If you remember correctly, unicorns can only a small amount of Magic. Magic that represents their special talent. Only a few Unicorns would be able to use the spell that can make currency out of a boring rock. Like twilight and Starlight who's special talents Magic itself, they would be able to do that. But Unicorns that have a talent of baking or sculpting would not.


@Zoe Onofre Macabulos whoops just realized i tagged you instead uhhhh

@Zoe Onofre Macabulos not you the other for hating on this video

@Imprial Wait... did i? I'm just talking lmao

@Zoe Onofre Macabulos i reported for hate speech

@Rosieplayz nvm your probably just a 7 year old you wouldn't understand this community

I would actually Dislike this STUPID VIDEO

They're just envy<br>Edit: I'm just saying ok??

They're just envy
Edit: I'm just saying ok??


I wouldn't say it's a problem, some ponies are just born with advantages and disadvantages. There's plenty of unicorns that don't maximize the potential of their abilities while there are Earth ponies that can swim on concrete, outrun Pegasus, and have some strange connection with the environment around them. You'll just have to make the best of the situation instead of resenting your body for the things that aren't there.

Making everyone alicorns still wouldn't be balanced intelligent, will power, or even their ambition, now the Pony's Cutie Mark and job occupation will feel like limitations. If you wanted true equality everyone needs to be rocking equality cutie mark, and be jobless and forever limited themselves.

Even the Mane 6 couldn't support life like that.


I mean, not every unicorn is as magically talented as Twilight and Starlight, it is their special talent after all


Just because the legend of the Windigoes was true, it doesn't mean that all stories are true. The Hearths Warming Pagent was always supposed to be considered historically. Perhaps exaggerated and romanticized, but historically nonetheless. Snowfall Frost, on the other hand, there's absolutely no evidence that it's intended to be historical. Nightmare Moon was also a story. I could see the story of Snowfall Frost possibly being historical fiction. After all, George Washington chopping down a cherry tree was historical fiction after all. It never happened.

What you claim as an unfair system is what I could claim as balanced. Because if you took the magic away from Unicorns, the balance would be against Unicorns. Here's the thing. Pegasi use a form of magic to manipulate the weather. Earth Ponies use a form of magic in farming. All three tribes use magic in some form. Sure, maybe Unicorns could have spells that can do what Pegasi and Earth Ponies do. But that just proves that there's nothing special about magic, and by extension, nothing special about Unicorns. The Unicorns' ability to be able to use that magic at will however is what allows them to be balanced. By taking a negative and turning it into a positive. Think about it. If you take the magic away from Unicorns, they can't fly, walk on clouds, or control the weather like Pegasi. And they can't add magic into farming skills and strength like Earth Ponies. And because of this setback, if you include Darwinian evolution, the Unicorns would eventually die off without magic.

Also, the magic of the other tribes is also innate.

In conclusion, in my personal opinion, there is no problem to be fixed. After all, if you take away Unicorn magic, or give magic to other races, it doesn't fix a problem, it causes a problem by creating imbalance.


its D&D logic horned creatures are just sorceress and naturally magical, also with their leaders being Alicorns it would be hard to argue no magic since they need it to live. Also unicorns earned their magic though evolution for survival since that's how evolution works, also if anyone tried they would need to get those specific artifacts which I assume would be a slog and then even if they tried well with enough magic still around they could get get smote by the sun.


When you're early but think if you watch the whole video before commenting you won't be early anymore:


I'm always so excited when he uploads a video


Well, but going by the logic of alicorns being the three tribes magics, don't you think that everyone having 3 ponies worth of magic could have an effect on society? That's assuming magic is infinite, maybe there isn't even enough magic to go around making everyone into alicorns

эмо-коммунист


I believe that there is a power between the tree tribes<br>If unicorns are so powerful they could just have defeated their enemies with just a spell

I believe that there is a power between the tree tribes
If unicorns are so powerful they could just have defeated their enemies with just a spell


The spell casting abilities is part of why i don't have many unicorn or changlings OCs, i just think they're a little too OP


There is never problems with unicorns, unicorns have been powerful before mlp fim, and some don't even have  magic or power. Look what  Trixie did with the alicorn amulet, she made herself way more powerful. Unicorns don't have a dvantage at all lets not forget how Ailcorn magic work. Alicorns have the magic of all three ponies, Unicorns, Pegasus, and Earth Pony.


My little brother started watching mlp!
I mentioned to my dad I also watched it last year

He declared me insane :/
And then he wonders why I dont tell him stuff


making the whole of pony society alicorns is a galaxy brain take thank you


First thing i reaslised was that u have a horn:0


Maybe unicorns doesnt really have that much magical power compare with the other two races, they just can demostrate it in more visual way than the other two races. I mean sure there are some really powerfull unicorns but they aren't necesarry the norm, like until celestia and luna arrive there was necesarry a lot of them to move the sun and the moon and they where using all of his magic just in that, and the other races have feats that the unicorns coulndt do. For example Fluttershy did something that not even the most powerfull alicorns could, reform discord.
And yeah probably there is a spell that can plant food, but the big question is, if an unicorn try to do it, it might the food don't grow as much or get as much nutrients as an earth pony could gather, or if they can probably require a larger ammount of magic.
If you want that any creature use the same type of magic as an unicorn, maybe you can give any one an artifact that allow the creature to take his inate magic and have "horn artifact", but probably would require more magic that an unicorn need to do the same task.
Some what similar to the concept of NEN in hunter x hunter, where there are different specialitions, and if you where born into one you could expand to the others NEN specialitations but at a reduce effectines


Unicorns are too Overpowered,
The Pegasi and Earth Ponies needs to Separate from the Unicorn tribe,
Just like Scotland needs to Separate from England


Wait wait wait-<br>What if that was the problem in MLP Gen 5? Since we know that magic was erased and all that's left is paranoia and distrust. So what if other ponies realised this unfair advantage that unicorns have and decided to protest against it? Mabey at one point someone was able to erase Magic from equestria for real?

Wait wait wait-

another thing to consider is how the different races are TAUGHT to use their magic. equestria has entire schools dedicated to teaching young unicorns how to harness and grow their magic. imagine if we had similar schools for earth ponies and pegasi. i suppose pegasi have a version of that with strengthening their flight and learning to become weather ponies. but what about earth ponies? they seem to learn basic stuff like maths, history, etc. where’s their specialized education?


Woah!!😳 3 minutes ago?!😯 And alredy many views?!😂


Sawtooth's Concepts or whatever you call it lol is so interesting, they make sense too! I just started watching your channel, its da best concept - making channel of MLP <3 Love your vids so much!


I think majority of unicorn "upper class" is caused more by fact earthponies and pegasy to have actual work to do which is important for society (farming and weather management) while unicorns seem to be more freely to be schollars as they arent as important in chain of life since princess sisters took responsibility with day/night cyrcle from them, and so getting more lead and managing positions or more fancy jobs


I tried to answer as many theories as I can
Discord didn’t have a cutie mark.

Either it’s his chaos that’s not letting him because magic is created by harmony
Or discord never found his true destiny.Of course it may been because of his chaos magic.

Is sunset an alicorn?
I don’t think she’s even supposed to be a pony just look at the lyrics in “My past is not today”

“That's when your friendship found me and it lifted me instead
Like a PHEONIX burning bright in the sky”
She is comparing herself to a Phoenix she even looks part Phoenix. This might give us a chance to see what other creatures might look on the other side of the portal.


It's not that unicorns are over powered. It's just more raw forms of magic. You can have an earthpony kick a mountain into gravel, a Pegasus that can have storms destroy everything in sight, yet it doesn't mean every member of that race can do that. Everyone has strengths and weakness, so it would be unfair to point the blame on solely one race. Odd theory but do you think that if Cozy was successful, that herself and the other Pegasus would be grounded? The Earth ponies unable to grow their crops? So while yes she would screw over all the unicorns, but when a storm comes to tear up the very small amount of land left for growing food. What is she going to do? The sun would remain up, no pony could dream, love would grow stale, and all research would be for something that wouldn't exist. Even if I'm biased here (being an alicorn) it still begs the question, what would happen to her if she succeeded and Starlight is cast to the void? I know for a fact Cozy would be lucky if she could walk after her crimes were made public, which this would be the most public crime you could get.


While there is a problem here, I think that there is a limit on magic unicorns can use. Let's take the gems example you gave. Rarity's cutie mark is gems, which means she has an inate connection to them, which may help her find them, but it's not necessarily the case for ALL unicorns. Unicorns like starlight or twilight, who's cutie marks are literally just symbolizing their powerful magic, will probably be able to do pretty much any spell, but I have a theory that for regular unicorns, that'd be impossible. Again, if we take rarity, she can use basic magic, but her magic has never been shown to be capable of the things twilight or starlight can do, even before twilight became a unicorn. So there's a high chance that there's different types of magic, and while most unicorns can do basic stuff like pick up objects and the like, to be able to do something more complicated they need to have an innate affinity for it, given by their cutie marks. I think another point that supports this theory is.....Fluttershy. She can seemingly talk to animals, but....how? Is it possible that despite being a Pegasus, it's because her cutie mark gave her magic?


Only the most powerful unicorns can float themselves or cast a spell for walking on clouds. But every pegasus is able to do it, also make rain fall from clouds and so much more. We see earth ponies like Applejack or Maud having such strength at lifting things that only the most powerful unicorns would be able to lift, and we see Pinkie, Maud and Cheese having sences that no pony else has, also Pinkie has a lot other crazy powers. The pegasus and earth ponies I mentioned probably have stronger magical ablilities than Sunburts for example, who is a weaker unicorn.


A couple things for the power of unicorns only specific unicorns can do all the magic. Basically unicorns whose talent is magic in of itself. Otherwise unicorns have a specific spell or spells they are good at and are mediocre or just down right can't do other spells. Pegasi and Earth ponies need each other one can tend to the land and make food then other can control the weather to help with said food growing. We have confirmation that Unicorns have essentially mastered weather more or less but there is no info on their food production abilities and we have seen time and time again however that when earth ponies stop making food everyone suffers. Earth ponies have a special bond with the earth and currently unicorns or at least the majority or normie unicorns can't reproduce that connection. There is also the strength, stamina, and durability portion of it doing the work and all that. I know spells, but that ties back in to the general unicorns only being great at specifics and if they are lucky(or willing to put in insane amounts of effort) okay with others. I the real issue( in the past really less so now) was the seeming education gap between earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns. There was clear imbalance there. Great video though. I'm glad you're making consistent content again.


I’ve noticed that most (or maybe all) pony villains were unicorns (or alicorns).

ᴅᴏʟᴏʀᴇs ᴍᴀᴅʀɪɢᴀʟ👂🏽


Unicorns aren’t as overpowered as you think, back in season one, in the episode when we first meet Trixy, spike says “I thought unicorns only had a little bit of magic for their special talent” only unicorns who’s special talent is MAGIC have so many options for spells, it’s a lot harder for every pony else


I think if magic was removed from equestria, pegasi would have an unfair advantage because they can fly.


unicorns can't really use economics for finding gems, since the only unicorn we've seen finding gems was rarity (adding to the point that it's literally her destiny/on her cutie mark). rarity only got her cutie mark after finding gems


If G5 IS canon to MLP as in "These characters re directly descended from the G4 cast and live in the same world in the same time line...which may not be the case, remember Equestria Girls is also canon... Then it is possible that removing magic does happen.  Maybe threw the same spell Cozy Glow tried  before? (more theories on that) or maybe from some other use of artifacts in some combination. Lets see if I can think of 10 ways that make G5 the canon main time line of G4 despite the fact that any number of characters would try to stop this .

1. Cozy Glow's sell
2. Some one ate the magic
3. Rise in technology made magic less important  and it was given up
4. A threat so bad that the only way to stop it was to get ride of magic ... see also Star Vs.
5. the loss of the tree of harmony
6. a combination of things . Artifacts, technology, nature  which not only got ride of magic but also erased the memories of trapped or immobilized those who could have stopped it.
7. a political movement made the public demand it so loudly they could not be ignored
8. some one hunted down    all magic users nd it was seen s the only way to survive
9. some thing effected the whole planet so fast no one had time to stop it
10. Stolen cuttiemrks

I do like your idea of "if every one was special no one would be special"

but here are other reasons why G5 has no magic

 its a separate time line in the same multiverse just like the human world is
1. its the world where Cozy Glow's plan worked
2. its the world where MLP was just a fictional  show
3. When Cozy Glow's plan was foiled a 2nd world lost its magic
4. It simple never had magic to begin with
5. Its an alternate reality from when Equestria was founded and they did it to stop the wendigos
6. Its the world where Tirek won
7. Its the world where Starlight Glimmer won
8. its a fake world, like the Power Ponies comic
9. Its  world where Twilight was never born
10 its a world that's just on its own with no connection to G4 other then Twilight opened a portal to it once.

I would love to see What would happen if the reverse happened?  If apple Bloom and Scootaloo and Pinkie Pie nd Rainbow Dash and others suddenly had magic?


When you're early as heck but nothing to say -_-


chicken think
most unicorn is using magic like ... extra pair of hands . levitating objects and to some extent teleportation or other smaller spels . Rarity doesn't use magic as a caster in everyday life, only on rock hunts. trixie outright sucks at magic.
therefore i propose an idea that unicorns in general are not overowered at magic at all, vast majority sucks at magic. however those who atended celestia school for gifted unicorns are teached how theyre magic can be used as a tool on a greater scape. and common unicorns just use magic as hands and as a thing related to theyre cutie mark.


That's why ponies in G5 order unicorns to wear weird things on their horns because they are afraid of them. Even when they are in the situation where magic doesn't exist.


sawtooth: unicorns are overpowered <br>alicorns: am i a joke to you

sawtooth: unicorns are overpowered
alicorns: am i a joke to you


Methinks that it was said before that  during the era of the 3 tribes that the unicorns tried to do that which you said they can do and failed showing that while yes in theory a Unicorn could do the job of either a Pegasus or a Earth pony the effort to do so is more than what it's worth and possibly end up being disastrous, the more proficient unicorns emphasize how focus is important and how an errant thoughts could cause a whole load of problems while casting spells, looking at it all from what little the shows cares on that standpoint.

Also don't care if anyone mentions G5 it hasn't been released and by the end it could just be going on a quest to find the mystical ball of neverending yarn of friendship


I was so invested I forgot I was early
"Omg no one cares"
Yes


Could you cover this one? : " What if ALL of the mlp characters were alicorns, just born as alicorns, every single one.


Don't forget there are diferent levels of magic talent amoung unicorns. And don't forget Pegasus can control the weather, something even unicorn magic can't do. You can see that Rarity couldn't do a thing even when she had a cuty mark for it and Celestia and Luna couldn't even battle the storms in the Cristal empire.


I will admit the magic system is a bit eh. But to be fair most Unicorns can only use the majority of their magic for their specific special talent, only a handful are able to use their magic for a wide range of uses (such as Twilight, Sunset, and Starlight). Yes a Unicorn could use their magic to produce valuable materials, but that Unicorn would have to have the specific talent in order to do said magic.


Ok I might also be biast because I have a changeling OC but I think just finding ways to give non-unicorns magic is the best solution


not all unicorns can use magic spells, rarity and most unicorns can't use magic, only a few have magic abilities. Earth ponies have the number advantage and the natural strength, pegasuses have the speed and they are shown to be fierce soldiers and adventurers.


with all due respect I also like this video very well, you ask an interesting question in it which I like just so on by making a similar video . :)


I think this is why hasbro put a unicorn in the show Imagine..."whatever race you are,we still and always can be friend with another". This is like the hidden detail Hasbro put in this show on purpose😵


This might explain how in the gen 5 promotion images Izzy has a tennis ball on her horn. They want everypony to be equal in terms of magic.


I have an oc thats born a pegasus, but can use unicorn magic with his wings, exploring all the potentials like this can make so many cool ocs!


It may be possible, but I think that alchemy trick turning stone into gold was very, very difficult. Snowfall Frost was a powerful unicorn and she struggled to do this trick. Not all unicorns are powerful. In the episode where Trixie comes up the first time, Twilight said that unicorns that have their special talent in other things than magic, don't have powerful magic in them like unicorns that have their special talent in magic. The unicorns who habe their special talent in cooking for example, can perform better cooking magic tricks than turning something into gold. THe amount and kind of magic spells is dominated by your special talent. Not even that is promised, because Sunburst's special talent is magic and he isn't powerful. Unicorns aren't that owerpowered in my opinion. If you have an OC that's a unicorn and you have your special talent in sewing, you may learn spells that help you with that talent. A part of Rarity's talent are gem stones, so she could learn this spell easier than any other pony.


Makes sense. But in MLP G5 movie synopsis, it says that "Equestria lost it's magic", so after watching this video i sense a connection


if it were up to me, i would’ve written earth ponies and pegasi to have their own kind of magic
like, imagine an earth pony learning to cast magic without a horn
doesn’t that sound awesome?
kinda like how in the owl house, luz figures out a way to cast magic despite not being able to physically
i hope what i’m saying makes actual sense

it’s already confirmed that all ponies have some kind of magic<br>however i feel like there should’ve been..... more

it’s already confirmed that all ponies have some kind of magic
however i feel like there should’ve been..... more


Hearths warming Eve is a unicorn holiday enforced throughout equestria. The Windigos story is not true. Equestria will be fine without magic, but the unicorns don't want the masses knowing that as that would threaten the power they have and the peace they have accrued.


I think unicorns are just fine. Even though they have a lot of magic. And they also have a job so they stick to their own job. Besides pegisi and eartponys have their own job the unicorn won't care to bother. Besides they do like fashion so they wouldn't want to get their hoofs dirty. And they like the ground   better than the sky they like to  keep their hoofs on the ground better then falling through clouds and they won't bother the other pony's job


I think the solution is just the fact that we, the viewers, might have a warped sense of how common advanced magic is in Equestria. Most ponies can’t do ANYTHING like what Twilight or the princesses do unless it is directly related to the special talent. Most spells to take over the things other ponies do are borderline impossible for the common unicorn.


Okay...  So for your economic speculation, you need to look at how money moves in Equestria.  The economics is somewhat fuzzy because it appears to be a hybrid system of economy (goods for money), obligation (goods for favors), with some good old command economy thrown in.  Take 'fluttershy's hurricane'.  Several dozen pegasus got together, spent days of time training, performed a hazardous maneuver, all to transfer water to Cloudsdale.  WHY?  We don't see anyone getting paid for their labor here.  Did Celestia order them?  Did Rainbow Dash pay them?  Both?  Or is there an understanding of obligation, where in Ponyville provides the water so Cloudsdale will create rain so Ponyville farms get crops so Ponyville pegasus are provided food?  Or all three?  Or maybe each race of pony has a different economic system?

Well let's consider money.  We have bits and gems, but the latter seem to be the inferior currency... like spare change.  Valuable for their tastiness or looks, but otherwise sort of cheap.  So if we have bits as coins, that means a mint.  If we have gold coins, it means a source for gold.  Both fit your theory of unicorns controlling the gold supply.  However, if the money just stayed with the unicorns, they'd have a lot of problems very quickly.  I doubt Unicorns want to spend every second of the day trying to grow carrots in solid rock.  But by transferring money to Earth Ponies and pegasus, unicorns have access to goods and services that would otherwise be more onerous to achieve themselves.

So why would Earth ponies even accept bits?  I mean, they could use giant stone disks.  Rockhoof could probably carry a dozen!  Okay, so obviously small gold coins are easier to transport.  However, I suspect that it's also because the earth pony economy is far more diverse that it benefits from the efficiency that bits offer.  Barter is a pain in the hindquarters.  So unicorns provide a steady stream of money, and earth ponies convert goods and services into financial transactions.  However, I have to speculate the liquidity of the Earth Pony society.  We see all of Ponyville can buy a cup of cider for two bits.  But a cherry goes for 2 as well?  Meanwhile a rent in Manehattan goes for 50,000.  How much money does Rarity HAVE?

A good question is one you brought up: can Equestrians just make gold?  If it's possible, then the bit is effectively a fiat currency, gold or not.  In that case, how is inflation managed?  Does Celestia just pass excess currency to local dragons to horde?  I mean, it would counteract inflation temporarily... till a dragon's horde is taken and suddenly cherries cost 10 bits...

Anyway, going back to pegasus, how would money move to them?  Are individual pegasus paid for weather work?  We see some are employed in logistics, which makes sense, but what about weather (arguably the most valuable service they render.)?  In fact, now that I think of it, DO pegasus have any exportable goods?  Everything seems to be made of cloud, unless their property is literally enchanted somehow to allow physical wealth to be accumulated in the clouds.  Still, I don't think the pegasus DO have any goods to export.  There's nothing to grow and nothing to mine.  So I suspect their economy is 100% service related: delivering goods or services to earth ponies.

But there's a problem.  If pegasus are constantly providing services, what do they do with all their money?  Sure, some goes back to the earth ponies to purchase food, but this gets us to a problem of compensation: would you bust clouds for 2 bits a day?  Probably not.  So why do they do it?  If they're paid more, what do they do with all the excess inflation?  Well, it could be that pegasi are under some kind of mass obligation.  Perhaps celestia pays cloudsdale for weather and all that money is then distributed to all pegasi equally?  Certainly explain why Fluttershy doesn't starve.  And it would be a reason why Celestia could temporary compel pegasi for the tornado.  It could also be that a lot of it is lost to taxes, but I think that trying to tax pegasi would be a nightmare.  Hard enough to tax people who can't fly, let alone who can move their homes elsewhere in the sky.

No, I suspect the key is in banking.  I'm fairly sure that all that income then returns to banks.  The pegasi are paid and excess is deposited in a bank, making pegasi extremely paper wealthy.  And if the banks are controlled by unicorns, well then the cycle is complete.  Unicorns mint money, money is traded to earth ponies who are producers of goods, and then the money moves to pegasi in exchange for services.  The pegasi bank the excess to be lent.  For this model to work, I suspect there are many, many, many more earth ponies than pegasi or unicorns.

In reality, I know it's mostly because writers don't care about economics, but since when has that stopped speculation?


Sorry, But There was someone else.. atleast your 2nd?

ᴅᴏʟᴏʀᴇs ᴍᴀᴅʀɪɢᴀʟ👂🏽


It actually said that the unicorns magic ONLY to relate to their special talent.


Hi sawtooth! Can you please make a video on why flurry’s eyes are different from other baby ponies eyes


Earth ponies and Pegasus ponies are important too because in the episode of my little pony rarity 's cutie mark switch with rainbow dash she cannot control the weather like rainbow dash did and when twilight tried to pull the machine that helped to clear the snow in the winter wrap up scene she used a spell but it didn't work out so that mean earth pony and Pegasus are also important  in their activities Pegasus ponies for taking care of the weather and earth ponies for harvesting plants


technically everyone is balanced but we only get biased because of the magic we the audience see from twilight and starlight most unicorns cant do crazy shields or laser beams most unicorns have magic that relates to there talent and if a unicorns talent is magic there obviously going to be able to do alot more then the average unicorn same goes for pegisia some excel at flying but most are not good enough to make it onto the wonderbolts some may have a talent in weather some may have some other talent earth pony's have talents like baking farming and other talents like music it is rather balanced if you look at the average earth pony pegisia and unicorn


I think they all have innate magic just unicorns have an easier time accessing it and if earth ponies and Pegasi trained they could tap in to magic too and do earth air and weather magic on a higher extent than unicorns


0:00-0:25 um, the unicorns were powerless when the windigos is made it super cold, so I know the Pegasus can do that. And from what we see of most unicorns, they all run away from dirt or garden work, so earthponystuff just saying. Also, as we saw most unicorns are not that good at magic in orticular unless they study it, because we heard Mr Cake say no unicron in ponyville and likely any other NORMAl town is near Twilight and starlights magic.


Alicorns are the ones in power so they can ban unicorns for using potions to do certain things that can be spelled and they have to take permission from Twilight to make potions for some tasks .


Despite how much utility and power unicorns have, more bronies prefer to be a pegasus rather than a unicorn.


I have an idea for your next video: Cadence the bringer of destruction/fall of the crystal empire
        How old is cadence? Think about it, she has the crystal heart as her cutiemark yet the crystal empire was gone up until season 3, so she had to have been around before the crystal empire vanished. We also know that cadence was not banished along with the crystal ponies because she babysat twilight. She was an alicorn as far back as we can see and we know they age differently; so she could be way older than we thought. Is it possible that cadence is a crystal pony & that when king Sombra turned bad  Cadence is the one that asked the princesses to save the crystal empire? The other theory on the changelings cohabitating in the crystal empire also makes sense because when queen chrysalis was posing as cadence for the royal wedding Cadence seemed to be the one that already knew the most about them. (also Celestia, because she knew queen chrysalis' name before she had to be introduced.)
      I would make a lot of sense if the princess of "love" earned her alicorn status (by creating a new type of magic "love is magic") in a society where  love is an integral part of existing: the light and love charges the crystal heart, and the love that the changelings use. But wait! is it possible that the princess worthy deed that cadence did to become an alicorn was put the crystal heart system in place? Think about it. If the empire previously used a different system to keep the winter at bay and it failed, then an extraordinary young unicorn who had just realized that love is a magic strong enough to keep the winter at bay. She carved a large crystal into the symbol of love and instructed the panicking ponies that this would work and to be strong for the ponies that they cared about. They could already see how the power their love fed the changelings. Cadence performs a love spell on the crystal heart turning it into a vessel for the strength of love that that the ponies had for each other and the cold wind of the north are blasted back. Cadence floats into the sky be magic not her own and vanished into another realm where she meets celestia for the first time. She gets her wings and reappears in front of the crystal ponies as an alicorn (and perhaps earning her cutiemark at the same time). The ponies celebrate and declare this young pony Cadence is worthy of becoming their leader someday. This puts king sombra's position at risk. But, he has bigger things to worry about: the crystal heart system seems to be working well but Sombra sees a problem. The changelings apatite for love is now a problem because the empire now runs off of love. If the changlings grow in numbers or if their apatite increases it will put the empire at risk. There is only one thing to do banish the changelings. (If my theory is correct: the mere presence of Cadence is the reason the crystal empire fell and why the changelings turned bad. Although chrysalis didn't seem to be hold any particular grudge against sombra when grogar brought them all together, maybe because cadence had a more direct hand in their banishment.)
      After all this it would make sense why no one bothers to mention her past, she didn't even tell twilight. Why would she? Its even worse than (more embarrassing) than starlight's past. Think about it; her becoming an alicorn the symbol of leadership caused sombra's corruption (though it may not have changed the outcome for the changelings). This is an example of Starswirl's alicorn creation system causing negative results. If she had not become an alicorn she would simply have become something of a hero to the people as spike did & even more important not a threat to Sombra's position (especially if he wasn't an alicorn. This could've lead to him seeking different means to appear more powerful to the people to solidify his position, via the alicorn amulet that corrupts anyone who wears it)

Sawtooth, respond so I can quit reposting this.


I think Unicorn Magic is more structured and harder for most unicorns to get amazing at. A lowly Unicorn can lift a object up while Earth Ponies can alter the ground easy and even the lowly peagsus can eventually Fly.

Unicorns can reach the highest highs but using a scale for our world is, I really only thing a few would be "Archmage" or even "Wizard" level of magic skill more like "Adept" or like Rarity with 3 more spells.


So that's why unicorns were worse off in the movie. They relied so much on their magic that without it their society crumbled.


1- I don’t think that all unicorns are OP. They have to first have the ability to to do certain spells and then be able to perform them. If their talent is magic like Twi and Starlight then yeah. But for example I don’t think rarity could make herself fly or be able to walk on clouds like Starlight. I also don’t think that she could teleport like Twilight can.
2- things like making bits are probably physically off limits. Like in the wizarding world, they can’t make money.
3- “pull a Cozy Glow”. Can we make that a thing 😂


for me, twilight looks a little more cool with wings


how to solve it(disolve)?
in Aqua Regis, of course.
On the detail of Magic, the Pegasi will fall to the ground if magic dissapears,
and the harvests will falter as well.


Cozy I know you have strong feelings about magic but please compose yourself, you’re on the thumbnail.


What if they pulled almost a modified version of what cozy glow did draining almost all the magic into something and and using the remaining unicorn magic to give that magic to everyone because we have seen unicorns using there magic to give ponys abilities so they could come together and give everyone some sort of ability pegasus unicorn or earth pony because then theres no imbalance everyone is at an equal power level but still have power


There is a story, on AO3 about the hunt for more Alicorns, and there are <b>Definitely</b> more canon alicorns, just none that we have seen.

There is a story, on AO3 about the hunt for more Alicorns, and there are *Definitely* more canon alicorns, just none that we have seen.


I actually have a theory about this that is more than 100% noncanon but i still really want to share it. Maybe unicorns werent born powerfull and just became so through time otherwise it dosent really make sense to be honnest. Maybe in the past they could use there magic just to pic up things and found ways to cast spells and stuff. But not every unicorn in the series seems to have a big knolege in magic,rarity could be an example.
She does know some tricks but still isint at twilights level. In equestria magic knolege just seems more of a tallent/gift if you know what i mean.
Sorry for my bad english


Snowfall Frost almost made inflation a big problem on top of almost erasing Hearth's Warming


BREAKING NEWS!!! Sawtooth might be nonbinary since they have a nonbinary flag in the background!! All we need to know now is what they're pronouns they have and would enjoy!

@Sawtooth Waves Your welcome! I really love making people appreciated and supported so you're very much welcome!

yep, they/them! ^^ i appreciate you asking!

in their about page their pronouns are they/them :)


But some unicorns can’t do extreme magic like twilight before she became alicorn and rarity can do simple magic


This is why magic must serve Equestria, not rule over it.


I am curious about Queen Chrysalis. Is she a form of alicorn? Or a different species altogether? Though there is still not that much info about her Origins.


Well, I don't think every pony should be an alicorn. If they were you would have to check if they have good morals and create new magic. That would take a lot of time, money, and effort. And if all the ponies were turned into alicorns, I'm pretty sure they'll be a few bad eggs, who would be able to hide their psychopath personality. Also, I don't think everyone has what it takes to make new magic, some are stronger magic users than others. (But it would be cool if the ponies who used alchemy would try to make themselves and their children alicorns).


id still remouve magic or limit it forcefully.  artifacts are mostly made by unicorns or magical beings  from what im guessing so artifacts are a bad solutions.


I still wonder if earth ponies can turn into alicorns...🤔🤔🤔🤔<br>Is there any evidence?

I still wonder if earth ponies can turn into alicorns...🤔🤔🤔🤔
Is there any evidence?


How are you still cranking out this stuff this long after the shows ending XD


Everyone knows how he's a changeling-but I just can't get over that I love it-


I always thought that since unicorn magic is so op it must be really rare for a for a unicorn to have powerful magic and most unicorns are not that gifted


Getting rid of magic... Hmmm. Doing that would just put pegasus' the upper hand, or hoof, because while unicorns no longer have magic, the pegasus' are able to fly and walk on clouds. Therefore making them the strongest. Right?  Please let me know if I missed some thing or got something wrong.


Well. I've been a fan of you for so long and I wanna say I luv ur videos post more! And also I wanted to say that if they take magic from unicorns there gonna be like earth ponys but with horns. 😐


the unicorns should give horns to pony's and creatures


Hi I have a video idea.  When I was younger I played the my little pony game so since I wanted to see and relive my childhood memories I downloaded it again and some of the artwork was different maybe an alternate dimension i think you should explore


Unicorns should be banned from learning to use artifacts and potions and should only have other types of pony like pegasi and earth ponies allowed to use them


When I played with my mlp toys before I would imagine that rainbow, apple jack, fluttershy, and pinkie pie had rainbows coming from there hair but Rarity and Twilight (and DJ pom 3) had it from there horns 😁


It doesn't really make sense that both.

1. Gold was valuable and used as currency.

2. Unicorns could easily make it.

It's possible that making gold was relatively hard and so it was valuable.

But honestly, it's more likely unicorns got richer than everybody else by basically offering all kinds of magic-related goods and services, not just creating gold and finding gems.

Gold is not intrinsically valuable such that if you have infinite gold you have infinite riches. Same with gems, in fact, gems are likely relatively cheap in Equestria by how abundant they seem to be.
If you can actually make tons of actual gold with alchemy the bit has to be fiat currency and not valuable because of its gold content but by some hard-to-replicate pattern or enchantment or something.
"By the power of alchemy this lead is no gold" said the unicorn wizard
"By the power of economics that gold is now worthless"replied the earth pony scholar with a deadpan expression.

It would be weird to ban alchemy if that's a thing anyway, it would be like if someone banned mining gold.

Or maybe alchemy doesn't really create gold just makes gold-looking counterfeit bits which would make sense to ban.

T
hat said I totally approve of the transhumanist(transponist? transcreaturist?) project of turning everyone into op unaging alicorns.


Hmm, I wonder if this could have some bearing on the G5 movie, where Equestria has apparently lost all its magic or something.


I think our opinion of unicorns is skewed. We rarely saw normal boring everyday unicorns. Almost all the prominent unicorns in the show had their special talent somehow relating to their magic (Twilight was magic, Starlight was magic, Sunset was magic, Rarity was her gem finding ability aka magic). Sweetie Belle didn't have a cutie mark for over half the show and could barely use magic, even by the end of the show she can only really lift stuff. So to claim that all unicorns are so OP would be like claiming that all pegasi can do sonic rainbooms, or all earth ponies can blast around and break physics.

Rarity can only really find gems effectively because it's her talent. Plus it has been said in the show that all ponies have magic. Earth ponies have magic that allows them to grow food effectively, while pegasi have magic that allows them to fly and control the weather (they can stand on clouds and the like). Sure unicorns could potentially make money with alchemy, but what good is alchemy if there's constantly tornadoes because the pegasi hate you?
Most unicorns can only really use magic to pick up a lot of things at once, doing much more requires years of study and practice OR having a special talent that gives them that ability.


Maybe there a law or something to keep them from using there powers over limit  and becoming to powerful but if they do then maybe the princess will stop them even thought some unicorns are really powerful i still don't think they could defeat an Alcorn unless they used some type of artifact


Unless you are a none unicorn villain
you ain’t gettin that magic

Unless you are a none unicorn villain
*you ain’t gettin that magic*


I heard in gen 5 there is no magic and it takes place in the same universe


I used to think being a pegasus would be cool.  I definitely would choose unicorn now because as a talking horse you don't have hands and unicorns are the only ones that can grab things LOL!!!


As a Pegasus I don’t care about the magic imbalance as most unicorns are not that powerful I would assume. I also just like how each creature is born different!!!!


Alchemy is a LOT more than turning materials into other materials. That's like saying the field of medicine is a practice of fixing broken legs.


oh cool! if you read the comics in the background you can see why Zicora speaks in rhythm that’s pretty neat


i think theres also magic in pegasi and their wings and weather stuff and earth ponies on their strength and food related stuff... so if unicorns had the general magic then they might me weaker than the otherrs in terms of strength  ^__^


i luv how he has a form for every creature in mlp


Actually, if they do the election thing like you said everyone becoming an alicorn would work


There is a fanfic called "Fahrenheit 98.6" or something like that. For the life of me I can't find it, but everyone in that world could get prosthetic wigs and/or horns that work the same as natural ones. I believe that they will be the future of Equestria.


Sunny Starscout, an earth pony have shooting stars for her cutie mark hinting towards her finding a way to use magic despite not having a horn, and so its possible that G5 will try to find a way for all 3 races to use magic in some way.(Making them more equal in power)


But most unicorns have limited access to certain spells like how rarity can't preform certain spells because of her innate talents twilight has the ability to cast such a large variety becuase her innate talent is magic but with most unicorns that's not the case


There is another thing that makes Unicorns stronger. Hygiene. While most ponies must hold objects mainly using their mouths, unicorns can make stuff float around, and are constantly using this ability. This way they can be healthier, and therefore havs another advantage. Think about it.

רוני בן עזרא


I think that IF unicorns use magic for themselves or to cause a lot of chaos they could be transformed into a different creature for all eternity, think about the Greek myth of the girl who became the first spider (reply saying her name I forgot it! T-T)... She said she was better than the gods and Athena (a Greek goddess) transformed into an old woman and revealed herself and challenged the girl to a weaving duel. The girl won and jealous, Athena turned the girl into a spider. What if creatures in Tartarus are unicorns who abused their blessed powers and transformed into a creature?! 🦄➡👹


I think you're overestimating unicorns and underestimating the other pony races  not every unicorn is Twilight or starlight or Starswirl or sunset , and most other unicorns are not magical prodigies so they couldn't even do half the stuff  Twilight can do and and you also have to consider the fact that the unicorns needed the earth pony and pegasi to tend to the land and the sky because they couldn't do it themselves , which could mean that unicorn magic is not good for dealing with those things. And also both Pinky and Maude have been shown to move faster than I can see and can break solid stone with their hooves and let's not forget rainbow dash the fastest thing in Equestria she could most likely knock out the a unicorn before they could even blink


I agree but I think unicorns can just read a spell for precious Jems coming right in front of their eyes


Some think earth ponies will go extinct. We need Pegasi to control the clouds, and it’s sown it’s a lot harder for magic users to do that. BUT, we saw how easy it is for unicorns to make crops with magic and food. So, If that’s the only earth ponies use, and it’s taken by magic, then they are useless.


In my dream I was jealous because of some people who pokemon can mega evolve and I don't have a mega evolution stone and a part of armour and I did for a hour and I still pissed and a problem grow WAY out of hand and the source was me and I had no chance now and a member of the seven ( remember that the sincetist got flurry heart out) named the balancer showed up and I was the problem source and I saw my ex brother with my mega evolution stone and so the balancer was about to remove it entirely but I got a call from shinning armour saying that there's something crashed at the crystal empire and I saw the thing was a far more powerful version and when the ultra guardian tried to get close but moved away and novamos got hit hard and I was there near the mega evolution stone and I didn't got blasted away but I made contact and it shrunk and I took to zercora and she gave me a mega evolution armour part a shoulder pad and when the stone was installed I instantly mega evolve but rekt zercora roof oops and what cozy glow equestrian magic taking did give birth to my oc after the kaijun drone hybrid were all killed


I been left the mlp fandom but I still love these videos😫


Magic is a tool and tools can be abused so I wouldn't be surprised if magic was abused for personal gain


Also, the majority of alicorns seem to originate from unicorns.


Imagine if the legit MLP wasn't for kids. The non-unicorn ponies likely would have declared a war at some point to cut off the unicorns horns from the base/roots so there's zero unicorn magic or at least not nearly as effective.


Unicorns are also important if their is no unicorn magic than it would be harder to ponies to do their jobs.Telekinesis is used for controlling objects and beams are used for destroying and more


But what if a pegasus became an alicorn?? Is that even possible or if an earth pony became an alicorn cause I mean they don't know how to use magic ✨


Actually bits were used in the season 2 episode “Putting your hoof down”


It's pretty obvious they have a clear disadvantage, they can't hug or else they accidentally stab


I think Canterlot if it has mostly unicorns living there! Then at the Start of the form of equestria! That's where Unicorns came from! Because when granny Smith talked about the foundering of Ponyville it was only earth ponies of I think earth ponies are from there Unicorns from Canterlot and Pegasus from Cloudsdale! Btw I love your content it's so interesting and I'm a big fan of the show!


It could be true but if things are fair it might go south if it did happend, Teirk will be stronger than last time even if the villans will team up, Count Sombra in too. It will be a problem.


i think it's very possible that the other races have magic we've not yet seen. I wouldn't write off unicorns as the only magic users of ponies but they use the ARCANE magic. Where earth magic is done by earth ponies and weather magic is used by pegasi. Let's say an earth pony has a powerful tie to let's say, a certain apple orchard. They're magic over that orchard is likely to be strong and it would take a powerful unicorn to undo that magic. Why are apples ALWAYS in season?


Well this theory seems particularly corny

Ok I'll see myself out


the clear and obvious answer is for everyone to be converted into changedlings!


too many comments to read, buuut:
the horn is only one side of inequacy in Equestria, and "pulling a Cozy Glow" looks awfully like pulling a Starlight Glimmer:
The ability to make magic potions isn't open to everyone. Zecora and Gabby the griffon are pretty good at it, but Applebloom struggles with it. And same with magic, not all unicorns are able to do just anything with their horn (even if you don't count damaged horns). So I don't think just any unicorn could have changed dirt into gold. How much time and dedicacy did it take for the great and powerful Trixie to poof things into teacups!
And to be fair, some cutie marks's related talent are unequally useful.
Now you'd say earth ponies have the loosing end, but I think the whole talent thing is deeper than that, and that if you tested every pony on the farming field, earth ponies would be naturally more skilled, as in maybe... idk, maybe they have a green thumb, or something, and maybe a natural sense of cooking? I mean they were in charge of feeding everypony, so I guess unless your cutie mark is related to cooking if you're not an earth pony you might be less good? I mean I see here and there some counter examples like that pegasus colt who made an anti-mark revolution and his brother but I think it'd be a general tendance.
I suppose talent in all creature is deeper than just a question of cutie mark. For some reason Gabby is skilled in many things, while some others struggle with the one good thing they do...


Hypothetically, if I- someone wanted to turn everyone into alicorns, how would I do it- I mean they do it?


I disagree. Because most magic users have limits Twilight and starlight are exceptions most unicorns can't use teleportation or make force field it takes too much concentration and you need to study extremely hard. Play the other two races have the physical advantages over unicorns if they can't cast their spell before an earth pony or Pegasus is their hands on them the fight pretty much over. One hit to the horn pretty much in a uniform.


The way I understood it is that all ponies have magic, but unicorns are the only ones who can actually directly manipulate it because of their horns.


It would be nice if earth pony’s controlled the ground and pegasuses controlled air then it would be fair kinda


Sawtooth there is an economic unbalance:apple cider,the wonder bolts,guards wait they can be unicorns wait how much <br>Do they get paid???oh well um ok nvm there only farming and weather jobs that for non-unicorns

Sawtooth there is an economic unbalance:apple cider,the wonder bolts,guards wait they can be unicorns wait how much
Do they get paid???oh well um ok nvm there only farming and weather jobs that for non-unicorns


I'd say somehow give pegasus and earth ponies unicorn magic too just without the horn


There is no power balance for only unicorns have the capability to conquer, dominate, subjugate and enslave. Just take a look at Trixie, Sombra, Starlight and Tempest Shadow. All you have to do in Equestria is show brute force and enslave the other pony races to do your bidding. Unicorns are the master race because they have the capability to do so once they are set in that mindset. Just take a look at the four examples.


The only thing I don’t appreciate about this video is Cozy Glow being on the thumbnail.


Is anybody else sad that "My little pony: Friendship is Magic" ended?


"... everyone should become alicorns." - Now you're talking!


Hey Sawtooth, could you maybe make a video about the upcoming MLP G5 movie and its characters? Would love that :D


They technically got unicorn tails wrong to they are should according to lore have lion tails but then again they don't take Pegasus anatomy seriously either they can even bend their feathers as if they have a muscular structure and joints


I think that the main character who is an earth pony by the way in the gen 5 movie will have magic born inside her as her cutie mark suggests


Don't pegasi have magic too? Maybe unicorns have more, but pegasi have some too. I mean when Tirek drained the pegasi's magic, they stopped flying. It's their magic that helps them fly, not their wings. Weird!


Don’t worry, the sequel did like Bungie nerfed the EVERY LOVING F+++ out of Warlocks-<br>I mean unicorns.

Don’t worry, the sequel did like Bungie nerfed the EVERY LOVING F+++ out of Warlocks-
I mean unicorns.


Plus it seems like unicorn spells are there because biologically weaker then the other tribes. Earth ponies are often very strong and weigh more then the other tribes. All the way back to g1 earth ponies were the only ones strong enough to cary 2 people  on their back while jumping over cliffs. Pegasus ponies tend to be fast and lighter so they can fly, plus in the past generations Pegasi could cross between worlds thought rainbow. Ever since g1 Pegasus were often tomboys (though flutter shy and derpy really don’t fall in that category) unicorns however in the tails of equestria always start out with  the weakest body die of 4.


What I would love to see is that like a type of coven system were basically a family or group of pony would be a coven and one pony in each coven have magic it would creat a system were some covens posed more magic but it would creat equal magic potential in each pony and I would do it like each different type of pony get a easier type of magic like earth pony are easer at using earth magic and plant magic and more thing that happen in nature and pegasus having a power to wield magic like ice water air light and stuff that mostly in the atmosphere and unicorns have the magic with dark fire and more creative type of magic like an example can be that unicorn can make explosive while a earth pony would be able to make flower burst or like vine waves Pegasus would make like light beam and air bomb there magic would be rooted in the pony type there is but they would be able to use other types of magic but it would be a little more difficult for them it would be like a ant trying to learn how to fly it would be hard or another example would be a Pegasus trying to move a rock the could summon wind but it would be harder for them to make the earth there not touching have the rock move and a way to explain this whole thing is that the pony type need some connection to the thing there trying to control earth would have a high connection with the earth the plant and stuff cause there always touching the ground and with the plant and the Pegasus would always be with air there born learning how to use it to fly and to move close there born in air and there high up where it’s colder so they now how to use ice and unicorn unicorn would be different they can use all magic but each one of them is different there magic would reflect we’re they are like if a unicorn is raised with Pegasus up in the air they could use more air magic cause they have a connection of home with air or a earth pony could be raised in a colder area where ice I regular so obviously they would have a water ice connection while ever pony can use any type of magic it just easier for some cause of they connection to it cause it would be hard for some one that alway walking to learn how to fly a case would be twilight where she wasn’t raised to fly she was raised walking so when she got wings she had to learn and that how it would be for ever pony and I love you vids and hope you have a good way my thought for the pony magic problem help you come up with a way to make the magic system more equal for ever pony


You know... this got me thinking about a Pegasus or earth pony ruler.


Well I think there is nothing we can do but not very unicorn can cast spells like starlight and twilight. Unicorns like Rarity only use a few simple spells but that’s because she didn’t study magic she was more of a fashion pony, my point is that lots of unicorns aren’t really study ponies. Most of them are like upper class like fancy pants.


Canterlot was probably full of unicorns just by chance, like how Ireland ended up with lots of redheads.


I think there is no problem because Pegasi and earth ponies can still use artifacts to do magic in someways


i just realized only unicorns can become alicorns bc you need magic to become one and no other pony can do that without an artifact which you can barley use it and you have to make a new magic so thats bad


Me in secondary but still listening to him talking about my little pony-


Here is my Theory! Please hear it Sawtooth Wave! Maybe it can be helpfull.

I think that all type of ponys can access to magic. Take for example Pinkie Pie, I think Pinkie Pie have find a way to use magic been an earth pony using the elements around her just like an earth pony do and like you say in previus theorys.
She can teleport keep things and do all crazy stuff just like unicorn who have train their magic, maybe pinkie find a way and was eable to train it for her use, thats why not everyone can do like her, first they got to know how to channel it, like when we learn to write or draw, we need to practice that skills or we will just grab things, just like earth ponys just use the strength of the earth and pegasus of the wind and air.
Unicorns are eable to use magic cause just like artefacts their horns are a way to extract magic from them or their surroundings. Thats why potions and other objects work, they took magic around them and channel it in a way so it could be use.


while there IS an imbalance, it might not be AS bad as u think, though admittedly its still far from good.  while a Unicorn can do roughly anything that Earth Ponies and Pegasi can do, they can never do it quite AS WELL as those ponies.  they r versatile, not necessarily OP, ur not getting a thousand Starswirls or Twilight Sparkles.  most Unicorns dont actively study magic, just what they need to do in relation to their talents and Cutie Marks, and as a result their magic, outside of common spells, becomes highly specialized.  Rarity is no master mage, but she is VERY GOOD at what little magic she practices...still, one would never ask her to say, make a city shield, like Shining Armour, thats not what she does...


They all have magic, it’s just that unicorns can use them directly.


throughout the whole video i was saying and thats why equestria lost magic in the new upcoming 3D season


Sawtooth: “Pull a Cozy Glow”

Me: dieing from laughter 😂🤣

Edit: Love your vids # best YouTuber in the history of the world


I may have left the MLP fandom a long time ago, but I will forever come and check out your newest videos


there is a problem here and I think they should cut off unicorns from artifacts


This is something I wanted to ask saw tooth in the equrastria girl movies sci twi when she pony up has wings but when she went through the portal in the yacht special she had no wings at all so why does she get wings and not just a long main like rarity pls answer

So sawtooth thanks for answering but does that mean you can earn your wings in human world but not the pony what gets your wings because their are no tribes in the human world what do they do to become alicorns and is it possible for someone else other than the mane 7 tho become human alicorns


1:27 looks like physics books exist in the pony world too...

I'm sorry for all of those students o-o


hmm, I wonder if this somehow ties in with the loss of magic in the upcoming G5 movie..?


I think that every unicorn has mutch magic in them so if we look at Twirghlite and Starlight. Starlight usualy has mutch stronger power even thow Twirghlite is an alicorn. So it doesent matter if we look at all three EPU and saw a problem with unicorns but there must be a way that your theory is also corect.


Hasbro: Finally Someone Thinks About This😑


his voice is so calming, please I want my voice to be like that.


Hey sawtooth I have a theory for you the sirens are from mount aris. The theory is that queen novo was originally a siren who married to the very first dragon lord and when novo was pregnant with Adagio Aria and Sonata novo and the dragon lord seperated or the dragon lord died and when the dazzlings were born when they got to a certain age they got their pendants because if you study greek myhtology you will learn that a siren isn't born with powers when they get to a certain age they get them now this could be what happened when they go their power they went to take over equestria and star swirl banished them to the human world because he knew that alternate versions of the mane 6 would finish them off and when novo saw that controlling creatures with singing voices is wrong she gave up her power how does this theory make sense well if you look at a picture of them they look like they are part seapony and part dragon.

please feature this theory in the next video


Sawtooth is the Film Theory of the mlp fanbase now XD


Are most unicorns powerful? I mean most can’t do magic other then telekinesis.


Watching your video of the friendship games in which you  compared at sunset and Twilight but you didn't address something is sunset is the alternate element of magic then what about twilight? So I thought of  something just like all crystal heart is said to spread two qualities maybe magic can do the same emotional and physical maybe that's why Twilight has levitation while sunset has the power to look into anyone's mind


I don't think all unicorns are equally powerful though...


Why ain’t anybody talking about the real overpowered creature, Alicorns


If you were a unicorn you would have to study magic to get your magic stronger and if you had a hard time studying like sunburst because he said it’s one thing to learn magic but to be able to cast the spell is another thing so if you can’t do it a unicorn is just like an earth pony


All creatures have innate magic. Unicorns just have the ability to focus it but.... so do other creatures. Example some of the Mane 6. Fluttershy has the ability to speak to animals, Applejack has increased strength, Rainbow Dash has super speed and the ability to ignore physics (ex: 90 degree turns at mach speeds), and Pinkie Pie has....... Oh.... Oh No.......

Pinkie Pie is a godlike being.


Hey I know cozy glow made some mistakes but can you sign this petition for
COZY GLOW’S RELEASE AND REFORMATION no seriously just said yes

No ones truly evil.


I'm not in the My Little Pony fandom anymore but I must agree, unicorns are so fucking overpowered. It's really annoying, to be honest


dont forget unicorn magic is their talent :/


Well...Unicorns have the most "mobility" because they can use their magic like hands ( Im watching you Lyra ), Pegasi can too with their wings but less precise and Earth Ponies...well they only have their hooves and mouths...being a Unicorn means literally having the most Comfort in Life because of your agility...i my opinion...


Unicorns are so powerful they can control the weather And use magic to fly and stuff and grow stuff


If you think that King Sombra is a Unicorn then yes I completely agree with you


Like that cool twist at the end and as you ARE a changeling I think pulling that off would be pretty easy. Since I think you can do this:Transform into Celestia, then make everyone alicorns then transform back and all is even.


I'm sorry, but I feel the need to comment on something.  If she was actually creating gold, real gold and not some kind of 'fairy gold' fake, then it wasn't counterfeiting. It would have depressed the value of gold (as expressed in buying power in, basically, everything else), but it wouldn't have been counterfeit.


I’m sorry if anyone else has a problem with my assessment, but I think that Equestrians have already found the happy-middle in the first 6 seasons of MLP that you are talking about.


one thing that would happen if all the magic is drained is that Pegasus ponies would then have the upper "hoof" as they would be the only ones who could fly and walk on clouds so then wings would have to go as well!


Did u forget when twilight said that there cutie mark reflects on there power but what if your cutie mark is magic. So unicorns are even depending on what there cutie mark is


I think you just hit the main plot point of G5 Pony.


Cartoon I have something to tell you I think they really had reduced to unicorns in the past


"The obvious solution would be for everyone to become an alicorn."
Queue Mitchell Aaron Forga Larson Lorga! XD
Everyone's A Princess


What if we have both?<br>We give the extra power to unicorns have to earth ponies and pesus

What if we have both?
We give the extra power to unicorns have to earth ponies and pesus


Anyone seem to think this might have something to do with them being divided in G5?


I love all the kinds of ponies I think they have all great magic love your videos


I kinda want you to make a theory on what CREATURE in Equestria is the most powerfull

Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth ponies counts as pne creature to me their all ponies


Your voice is so calm your videos literally make me fall asleep


I literally still have that my little pony monopoly game 😭✋🏼


You strongly overestimate the abilities of unicorns. Over 99% of unicorns don't even come close to the abilities that the main cast has. And don't even get me started on alchemy. It clearly requires a special brew on top of magic strong enough to rival Starswirl. Possibly even stronger as it was Twilight telling the story.


Hold up, what do you use to make your<br> OC's poses?

Hold up, what do you use to make your
 OC's poses?


The unicorns are actually pretty powerful because first,they can teleport without wings and they are quite like earth ponies but better because of their magic and they also might have a spell fro wayyyyyy more things :l  .  I'm not %100 if I am correct but yeaaaaaaa. and btw have a nice day :)


I didn’t think I’d be learning about pony racism today but here I am


"Drain all the magic so that we're all equal." Ah, communism!


If u remove Power from Unicorns they will just be a Pony with a Horn..

And then Pegasi will be the Popular one now


I agree we should turn everypony into allicorns🦄🦋🐎


That's why unicorns require spells to make their use of their horn if no one found out about that horns can make magic then unicorns will naturally have no purpose


I think unicorns have to work harder than earth ponies and pigaes in order to get strong magic, so


I think it was unicorns who would make the bits and find gems as a form of them getting jobs they would perduce the money earthponys would make food and pegasi would do things like build and control the weather like some form of economy in trade for money used to pay pegasi the unicorns would make in turn for food and earth points would get materials needed for them to thrive like some form I scratch your back you scratch mine


Me totally not stopping from doing school to watch this bc I'm totally not a fan 🙃


Or use your system but ban unicorns from using artifacts


Cozy glow:who summoned me in the thumbnail?


this might be the ''plot'' in the upcoming movie.


Only some unicorns to levitate, find metals and gems, create the materials (claud can’t do that and he is not from the past). Also if you even it out unicorns are no longer special.


In the begining of the series we can see that cutiebell having problem using her magic


Well my ponysona I made long time can use magic with her hooves she comes from future equestria in her backstory they did something that allows magic using keratin in general


But how would we get rid of magic when Tirek was stealing magic from everyone the princess said that it couldn't disappear into thin air yes we could use a relic but all the th unicorns in equestrias magic Couldn't fit in one and I'm sure unicorns like twilight and sunburst people who love to study magic wouldn't want to give it up and if it was in a relic where would that go if somebody got and took all the magic we'd have an even eveiler discord


Can I say that sunset shimmers magic colour changes from red to turquiose in a few movies


Earth ponies can buck twice as hard as unicorns and pegasi, Banned from Equestria proved it!


I was studying alchemy while listening to this :0


Unicorns are way weaker than Pegasus that because magic users have to be instructed to use magic and baseline unicorn aka your average unicorns dose not have the same level of the spell ability of the main cast

The feather brains however have real power

They can all magical change the weather no matter skill level which is absolutely op


I think that you are right sawtooth unicorns do have advantage of there powers and all the unicorns should be in one town


Did you plan on making videos on the rest of the E.Q movies, were they canceled, or did you never plan on theorizing about them?


If i was a pony i would 100%  be a earth pony villan ☠ there would be way too many if every human was in mlp LMAO and the mlp charecters just werent there


Oh, come on! Get Celestia and tell to magic everyone to Alicorns!


Thanks for the info on Cadence and Shining armor


Unicorns have all of the power     if you think about it they can do magic and fly and they can do a spell to grown food and unicorns are just as powerful as alicorns so like  the princess  should like make all the magic  in a Equestria equal  like Pegasus  and earth  pony's have all the same   amount of magic and if you think about it that can cause a lot of friendship problems


if every one was an alicorn than no one would be an alicorn


Could unicorn shapshift like a changling ?


Pfft, who needs a horn when you can fly! Also it's easier to snuggle. lol


Well the kirens have magic to. Even if we don’t see it that often.


When Sawtooth said overpowered I finally realized what OP means.....<br>Plz tell me if I’m wrong idk what it means

When Sawtooth said overpowered I finally realized what OP means.....
Plz tell me if I’m wrong idk what it means


But, Filthy Rich, Aunt Orange, Countess Coloratura, Sapphire Shoris, Hoity Toity and more are not Unicorns yet they are pretty rich too lmao.


Sawtooth: When everypony's an Alicorn, nopony will be


I have a theory maybe the kingdom that fell was the crystal empire. And that sombra took advantage of this and became the king then he slaved the cristal ponies and Celestia saved them


WAIT WAIT what would other creatures without magic be able to do and honestly  what would they look like?


Clearly you forgot an important part of ponies. Unicorns aren’t the master race…. PINKIE PIE IS


Only me who hates the the new “main six” they are good bc they are different, but I liked when the ponies had it, bc I watched it when I was very little and now everything has changed😩


It's obvious technology. In g5 magic will be gone leading to a rise of technology, and if magic comes back then they can make artificial horns or wands so all can use innate magic.


Earth ponies have magic. Very powerful magic. They just don't do a light show like the unicorns. The outrageous feats Applejack performs are magical manifestations. Earth pony magic seems to come out mostly through their cutie marks, but, once again Applejack, so there are other ways. Horns just seem to be handy ways to channel magic.


I 💜this channel I love watching sawtooth he also makes me laugh I ask like his skits


so twilight
You are the Alcorn A friendship
Former unicorn
Do you know your cutie mark do you
It’s based on magic
Look at starlight cutie mark
Magic based
All your magic is talent
Do you remember when you didn’t have your cutie mark
You couldn’t even hatch a baby dragon
Let alone do any cool teleportation spells
But once you got that cutie mark from your friends more specifically the rain boom
You got that sudden burst of magic giving you your cutie mark for your talent
That rain boom scarred you
In a good way at least
It’s bonding you all together
But it’s helping you twilight to get your magical skill
Other than that you would’ve been worthless
Different cutie mark
Entirely different life
Not everyone’s gift is magic
Not everyone is as special as you twilight
Not everyone can do magic as good as you twilight in store like in star‘s world(starlight and a star swirl)
So be grateful that your gift is magic
Not everyone can do magic as good as some people
Be lucky
Be grateful


I'm a little concerned when you said society wasn't QUITE ready to all become alicorn.

@Sawtooth Waves and that is what concerns me


Nooo let me explain. It is entirely fair. The magic is not in their horn. It’s in their heart. All 3 tribes have magic.unicorns are the only ones who can CHANNEL it. Directly.pegasi can use their magic with their speed,rainbow dash for example. He sonic rain boom causing them to get their cutie marks. Earth ponies have a special connection with the earth. They understand jt more. They can channel their magic with their hooves into the earth. Also they are a lot more strong


Hi Sawtooth Waves! My name is Sophia. I'm a HUGE FAN OF YOURS! Is it okay if I give you some theories to talk about? I also put a comment for some answers in your past videos. :D I hope you reply!


unicorns: <b>You simply have less value</b>


Nah make everyone changelings, problem solved.  Though I admittedly prefer the old black design.


Sawtooth-This is between you and me everyone being alicorns<br>The princesses-WHAT THE!!!!!!

Sawtooth-This is between you and me everyone being alicorns
The princesses-WHAT THE!!!!!!


I've wondered for so long, why do you say Syannax and Farefallen differently?


I love my little pony and now there are 9 Seasons I love that there has been 9 seasons for awhile now!


I think that draing all the magic is good


Hi sawtooth wave I like you’re my little pony videos they are very interesting.


Okay but all we saw was the horn of the unicorn, what if Alicorns are the reason to this spell? What if Starswirl made this turn things to gold spell? Or what if alicorns can also do this? Who knows o-o


But if everyone had magic wouldnt they have horns? And if they did wouldnt pegasus be alicorns now that they have horns?i just think that having both wings and horns is something unique in my little pony


i do agree and u can also fly using unicorn magic so-


Sawtooth waves i think cadanes make the magic of love to make the elements of harmony stronger did you see shinning armor and cadanes make their spell to elements of harmony


Derpy Hooves for top princess start the campaign now! 🐴🐴🐴


I feel like this brings out the truth about capitalism. It's not innately bad, it's just easy to fix for a small set of people to get more benefit. Communism would be the "erase all magic" option.


I think unicorns have more magic than all of the tribes combined us up with magic and the cons are the same power as alikornicorns


The unicorns they show they have so much power and abilities


I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS IT'S SO RIGHT


Im my universe there was a war with a unicorn higharchy, while earthpohys were used as slaves


Максим Черкасов


Sawtooth have a pride flag in his profile picture 🥺
