I do have one issue with this theory.

If the Alicorn amulet gave Sombra's power to Trixie - the same way Grogar's bell gave magic to Cozy Glow - why didn't Trixie become a temporary alicorn like Cozy did?

Perhaps because Grogar's bell directly zapped the magic into them, while the amulet only allowed Trixie to access the power indirectly?

I think it’s because the power is still in the amulet and wasn’t directly given to trixie, when she takes the amulet off she looses its power, but cosy was away from the bell she still was an alicorn

@Sawtooth Waves well no, not "exactly" the magic still goes through Trixies horn and thus is inside of her, so that doesn't really dismiss the idea.

My theory is that when you wear an amulet that contains magic, that gives you the ability of using the magic stored inside, but the magic still remains inside the amulet, except you have control over it. To support this theory, here's another one: Human Twilight didn't pony up either, when her amulet absorbed the human six's magic, and I assume she would have been able to use the magic inside the amulet if she learned how to. But when she released the magic, her body absorbed it, and transformed her into a demon, and if this scenario would have went down in the pony world, pretty much the same thing would have happened.

since Trixie was only a unicorn, she could only access the unicorn magic, or maybe over time she would have soaked up earth pony and pegasus magic, turning her into an alicorn

Theory : Sombra may have gave his magic freely because back in the old days ( when the lost crystal princess was still there ) he may have not wanted the empire to see that he was an alicorn with dark magic.But then again Sombra may have been a normal unicorn and earned his wings by someone evil.
Someone with legendary powers, someone who appeared to be tale, someone who...Accepted Friendship perhaps. Yes im talking about Discord.Before Discord was turned to good, he had so much power contained.Mabye he turned Sombra into an alicorn in exchange for more powers to serve. That explains why he is a draconicus with powers of other animals ; that's the power he got from Sombra.
But then when Sombra realised that the new ruler of the crystal empire was able to take spread love and light, he just couldn't stand it ; he took his revenge and all he dreamed about,after that,was when he was going to feel the amulet back in his hooves again........

Welp I'll tell what I think
We all know alicorns are good so the amulet was supposed to hold good powers and being connected with dark vibes it didn't unleash it to its maximum level leaving trixie an unicorn only.

On the other hand grogar's bell was meant for dark magic and connected with the right type of vibe that's the dark vibe unleashing its full power and making her an alicorn.

Her powers didn't work because she couldn't take that amount of pressure.

Hope I get likes and comments

And yeah that's what I think.

So, following this, maybe Trixie never took advantage of the amulet's true capacity.

I think it makes more sense if Sombra have never been an alicorn, but the amulet was a way for him to conjure alicorn like magic. Or his own alicorn magic. Maybe it was made because he couldn't become an alicorn. Maybe he reached a limit in power and we know how he always wanted more.

Maybe it’s because being an alicorn takes ALL kinds of pony magic, and Sombra clearly still has unicorn magic.

Hellfire Studios - Demonwolf37 maybe someone else took his wings away, then Zobra had more power,  but he didn’t want the person who stole his wings to steal his magic, so he made a amulet and stored his magic; but then he made it after his wings went away, but he still had some Ali corn power?

Maybe, Trixie only got the MAGIC of an alicorn, not the wings. It could be that the alicorn amulet only has the power to take away the wings, not give any.

@Sumelupic / supermemoluigi it can be likely get back his magic by breaking the amulet well even if sombra is now an unicorn his magic is still strong maybe even enough to break the spell of the amulet

@Sumelupic / supermemoluigi it can be likely get back his magic by breaking the amulet well even if sombra is now an unicorn his magic is still strong maybe even enough to break the spell of the amulet

Using Sawtooth's previous theory about needing a certain amount of thaumic/magical power to become an alicorn, we can surmise that the alicorn amulet stole enough of Sombra's power to take away his alicornhood. With Trixie being an average mage, the amulet boosted her magical ability significantly, yet not enough for her to ascend.

@Gloria Calungsod normally this goes by 2 things:
1. It breaks the amulet so the magic inside returns to the original pony who posses it
Or 2. Using the same method that the pony used to steal that magic (maybe by some spell)

I think the difference is that Trixie was just using the power that was still inside the Amulet as oppose to Cozy Glow were the manic was transferred into her. It’s kind of like the difference between being strong and using some thing that makes you appear strong you personally still aren’t as strong.

Why Trixie didn't become an alicorn?

I have two theories.

1.Amulet did not give her all magic that it posses.Amulet only corrupted her for one reason,to bring back it to Sombra.You wonder why trixie did not return amulet to Sombra,because he is dead,so amulet stayed with trixie.

2.Trixie did not take all magic inside the amulet,because she knew that it would be to much for her and she would not be able to control it.

So if sombra ever return how is he going to get his magic back

well you see trixie never TOOK the magic from the amulet but instead USED it......<br>so that exactly explains why she dint transform into an alicorn...

well, logically the Alicorn Amulet works as a way to access those powers, but it seem like this don't gave the use those powers to keep it itself, so Trixie didn't absorb those powers but it just gave her access to use those alicorn powers, otherwise she'll become and alicorn and possibly she could even keep some of those powers even after she take it off.

Hellfire Studios - Demonwolf37 Cozy Glow absorbed the magic in the bell, but Trixie didn’t absorb the power in the amulet. She just put it on. Maybe that!s why? Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.

Maybe Sombra had enought of his own magic so that the amulet would boost his to the alicorn form. While Trixie is so powerless (sorry Trixie fans) that even the boost couldn't get her that high up.

I think maybe sombra is princes celestia and luna's Father however he wnated more power when he grew up and that made him evil ,but being celestia and luna father without nkowing it yet,  even the two sister dont nkow about that maybe, theri mother dint tell them to protect them from him and geting hurt. Hope this help its my theory by seeing this video and i think it made sense.

I think there is a different reason Trixie didn't gain wings from the amulet: The amulet releases the power slowly over time, rather than allow all that magic to be harnessed at once. As a result, Trixie was defeated, before she had full access to the power the alicorn amulet promises.

Trixie used the amulet to bump up her puny(especially back then) unicorn powers in the hopes to be a more powerful unicorn.  She didn't even touch pegasus or earth pony aspects to magic, nor did she have expectations of filling herself out, and if she had, maybe...  But even so, if this video's theory is correct, I can see Trixie just not being powerful enough as a unicorn for the bonus pegasus and earth pony magic to upgrade her to unicorn status.  If say Starlight were to have worn that amulet you would have seen a completely different class of problem.

The power didn't go to Trixie's body. It was still in the amulet.That's why the mere act of removing the amulet removes her powers, with no theatrics or visual glowy "transfer"

maybe it could have been due to trixie and cozy glow possessing different ambitions and the magic that they were given suited to their needs respectively, and which in this case being alicorn suited cozy glow’s ambition, and for trixie to not have any wings or grow massively in size, and rather more so in magical abilities

@mateo l hi rarity  I think that before somersa was banished he was a ali corn but he became evil then he was banished by the two sisters and then Groga r found the amulet then  sucked up some of the magic enough for Trixie to become powerful and crystals,Teri k and cozy glow to be powerful to

(Spoilers for the IDW comics)

It reveals in the comics that Sombra isn't an alicorn or even a unicorn, he's an Umbrum. A being of pure shadow disguised to look like a normal pony. but as much as i do like the comics i agree with what someone else said in this thread. The show writers haven't explicitly said what is or isnt canon about the comics. Furthermore, Sombra actually gets brought back and reformed in the same arc of the comics, but in the show he remains dead until the Season 9 premiere and is still evil. either that or somehow Grogar/Discord summoned Sombra to him and spontaneously made him evil again, but i find that hard to believe.
So who knows really, maybe he is an ex alicorn in the show, maybe hes an umbrum like in the comics, or maybe he is just a regular ol' unicorn with evil shadow magic

I think it's a good theory. The answer to @Hellfire Studios - Demonwolf37 's answer is: It's because Trixie only wore the amulet. I think if it had fully corrupted her, she would have become an evil alicorn. Just like maybe Celestia and Luna stole the amulet from Sombra and banished him to the arctic before he could get his power fully back?

🤔hmmmmmmm..... Maybe (like the  evil control thing) the power is gradual and if a person left the amulet on long enough, they would sprout a pair of wings!

I don't even know why the Alicorn Amulet should be connected to Sombra in the first place. The "it belonged to Sombra because it has similar color + hypnosis" argument doesn't make much sense either. The Inspiration Manifestation provided a green magical aura to Rarity; does that mean that the Inspiration Manifestation includes changeling magic? No, it doesn't. Also, Sombra's magic aura isn't red (not anymore, at least). His magic aura in Season 9 was pitch black. As for the amulet corrupting Trixie, remember that Chrysalis was also able to mind control ponies (such as Shining Armour). In other words, just because Sombra can mind control, doesn't mean that everything else that mind controls is automatically related to him. And lastly, notice my theory, Sawtooth-senpai.

Also, what's up with Midnight Sparkle and special little shimmy?
Their transformations were just chocked up to equestria magic affecting a human, but twilight could wear the crown without trying to kill everyone.
Maybe it was because only once person is supposed to wield their own magic, and if you don't have enough magic power to wield the magic, you go coo coo

@Frazemyn That doesn't make sense.  In Equestria at that time, it still would have been a great feat to have gotten pegasus wings and kept your horn, so I don't understand why she would do that.  I mean, if she did cast a spell to hide or get rid of her "possible wings" and hadn't, she could've been like, "Kneel before me, peasants! I'm the Great and Powerful <b>Alicorn</b> Trixie and you will Adore me!" Not to mention that, if the book on Tempest's backstory is at all correct, it's a unicorn's most amazing dream come true to become an alicorn.  It means, to them, that you are at a height almost unattainable. Even though we know it really isn't, that's what they believe/believed.  So I would think she would want to show off the newly acquired wings and not hide nor rid herself of them.  She would probably not use them, but still, it would symbolize greatness to even look like you were really an alicorn. And she says often, "Great and Powerful," indicating she would love to be that.  Why would she rid herself of or hide the one thing that could symbolize that?

I like to think the amulet doesn’t directly inject the magic inside. its sorta like using a bike to win a foot marathon vs using steroids. The bell injected the magic inside cozy giving her alicorn magic magic. Trixy was using alicorn magic but it wasn’t inside her.

@Green Gamer that's because she didn't absorb the magic.  She was able to channel it and use the magic in the amulet, but once she took the amulet off, she was back to being not able to do powerful magic like the age spell.  She didn't absorb the magic, but used it.

Hi Sawtooth! And if you see this can you please make a theory video about it analyzing it? Maybe add your own things to it? Please?
I have a theory about Grogar, here it is;
We don’t know much about Gusty The Great but whoever she may be she definitely has a connection to Grogar.
I’m pretty sure that they were in the same timeline and there was an epic battle with her and Grogar. Because in Season 7 Episode “A Flurry of Emotions” Twilight was reading a book to little fillies about Gusty The Great and her fight with Grogar that book may be true you might be asking “If that book was true why would Twilight read that that book to little fillies? and since Grogar and Gusty are from soooooo long ago that book may be passed down as a “Mare’s Tale” like The Nightmare Moon, The Sonic Rainboom
And Gusty just like Star Swirl might have Sent Grogar and Herself to someplace like Limbo where time doesn’t pass A Thousand Years or maybe even over A Thousand Years
Since Limbo is another dimension outside of Equestria when Cozy Glow Nearly Drained All The Magic In Equestria Gust and Grogar couldn’t Escape perhaps they may still be trapped in someplace like Limbo
And maybe to bring them back we may need The Magical Artifacts for Grogar this may be Grogar’s Bell and for Gusty perhaps a Magic Wand or something?
And perhaps when Discord pretended to be Grogar he might have been trying to bring Grogar back with Grogar’s Bell and perhaps was gonna ask Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow to find and bring Gusty’s Wand but when they lied and said that they didn’t find The Bell he might have gave up on that idea
And maybe The Future Generation can bring Grogar and Gusty The Great back by finding Grogar’s Bell and Gusty’s Magical Wand
And who knows maybe Gusty had her own 6 or maybe more or less group of friends and they had their own Magical Artifacts
Maybe something like The Season 7 Finale can happen
Some fan(s) of Gusty The Great can try to bring her back
Gusty can be just like Star Swirl wanting to banish Grogar back to a place like Limbo but in the process she needs to banish herself and if she has friends banishing Grogar Gusty and her friends
Perhaps The Future Generation can reform Grogar and not let them go back to a place like Limbo
And if Gusty meets Star Swirl they’ll make great spells together and perhaps even more
So what do you think?

Hi Sawtooth! Can you please do a video about “How to Reform Sombra” or a video about “What Could Have Caused Sombra To Become An Alicorn? But I have a theory can you make a video Analyzing it? Maybe adding your own things to it Please? ;
Perhaps 1 Thousand Years Ago Sombra was a Great Unicorn before He was Evil and That He found The Crystal Heart and made The Crystal Empire in a good way and Ruled It. Everyone Loved Him including Celestia and Luna and one day (from your video “Finally Solving Alicorns”) something like The Crystaling Happened The Light and Love that The Crystal Empire (The All 3 Trives) and Celestia and Luna Had for Sombra Transformed Him into An Alicorn! And He wore The Alicorn Amulet in a good way but one day Sombra became jealous of Equestria and tried to Take Over Equestria but He Used The Ponies in The Crystal Empire and He failed but before The Story That we have from Season 3 Episode 1 when The Ponies Realized that they were controlled by Sombra something like The Crystaling Happened The Dark and Hate or maybe The Darkness and Hatred That The Crystal Empire (The All 3 Trives) and Celestia and Luna Had for Sombra made Sombra Unbecome an Alicorn and Then The Story That we have from Season 3 Episode 1 happened.
And it makes sense if Light and Love from The All 3 Trives makes you and Alicorn The Dark and Hate or maybe The Darkness and Hatred could make you unbecome an Alicorn.
So what do you think?

It's possible that he decided to lose the fight against Celestia and Luna. He stored his Alicorn magic in the amulet and hid it. He then made it so when he lost the battle, the Crystal Empire would disappear.

@Sawtooth Waves yes this theory is SUPER COOL!

however can your next video be about either Sunset Shimmer or Tempest Shadow?
I feel as if there is a space for their fate that needs to be filled by a master theorist

I really liked the sombra theory, I think Sombra lost his alicorn magic, before he was banished, maybe he puted his alicorn magic on the amulet, for some reason
This is what I think abou the origin of alicorns
Hearts and hooves alicorn
" Apparently, some prince a long time ago whipped up this recipe and gave it to this princess he liked. He meant it to be a love potion, but things didn't turn out so well."
" Well, there's something here about a dragon, the kingdom falling, chaos reigning... Okay, apparently it was all because the prince and princess were so lost in each other's eyes that they couldn't perform their royal duties. "
That is what we know of this princess, mentioned in Hearts and hooves day.
So this is what I think of alicorns:
Long ago, even before Equestria was founded, there was a kingdom, ruled by an alicorn princess, an earth pony prince gave her a love potion that turned to be a love poison, they couldn't perform their royal duties and the kingdom fall into chaos
Celestia and Luna lived on this kingdom with their alicorn parents, who died in this chaos.
Equestria was founded. One day princess Celstia helped the unicorns raising the sun.
Star Swirl saw her potential, so he took both sisters and trained them to became the new rulers of Equestria. He created a dimension where ponies with the potential to became alicorns are transported and transformed into alicorns.
He studied alicorns and created a spell to transform ponies into alicorns, giving the magic from the 3 types of ponies to the ponies that are meant to rule.
The pilars go to limbo, and Nightmare moon is banished to the moon.
Cadence is transported to the magical dimension and is turned into an alicorn, Celestia takes her to Canterlot.
The same happened to Twilight.
Shining armor and Cadence have a child Flurry Heart, her desteny was to rule the Crystal Empire, and has alicorn magic from her mother so she is born alicorn.
What do you think of the theory?

I also have another theory, that Starlight should be the princess of learning. She learned from Twilight, and now she runs a school

@Nick Lopez I believe that a pony using the amulet will not go through physical changes due to them using the power indirectly. Magic from the grogar's bell is absorbed by the pony using it. The amulet simply boosts a pony's magic like it did with Trixie

The amulet and the bell aren't the same.  Perhap's the amulet can't retain/hold magic the way the bell does.  So maybe with each use the amulet losses some power, it can't be too much per use or the amulet wouldn't have the reputation that it does.        So what if the answer is that the amulet no longer has the power needed/required to turn a pony into an Alicorn.  Oo.

@Sawtooth Waves Have you read his origin in the FIENDship is magic series?

@Sawtooth Waves I think it is because stronger magic can cause stronger Shanges

According to the comics, Sombra is actually a creature called an Umbrum who took on the form of a pony to infiltrate the crystal empire. But it’s also been viewed by a lot of people that the comics are a non-canon or alternate universe. <br>So this is still very possible!

So this is still very possible!

Comics are generally separate canon from what I've seen.

True but still they say this is not canon so maybe it’s true but probably not.

Is it like the Shawdow Pony or the Shadow Pony race, cause King Sombra comes to the invade the Crystal Empire as a black cloud resembeling the Shadow Pony King Sombra could be part of the Shadow Pony Race


Further theory: The reason he wears a cloak is because his ashamed of a wingless body. That and he's half-Kirin.

Also unrelated theory that the Alicorn Amulet was actually Prismia's necklace in Cadence's origin story, and the Alicorn Amulet can be defeated with Love.

@Angel Bunny Yeah sorry my dude but the comics are NON-CANON so this can still work

@Angel Bunny I don't count the comics as canon when it comes to a clash between them and my theories.

While him being half kirin would be neat, that's sadly not the case. He's actually an umbrum, as shown in the comics. The umbrum were enemies of the crystal empire, and were locked away by celestia and luna. Its actually a very interesting story, and ties into why he took over the crystal empire! But thats wht he doesn't look quite like a normal pony.

@Крыса It also explains his epic sideburn game lol. Oh, and that weird thing on the bridge of his nose that everyone thinks is part of the crown.

Oh, that would explain his horn being so different from other ponies 🤔 i mean, there are some different body types of ponies in the show, but their horns usually are the same or at least similar except for Sombra and kirins


@Wasumoto You're absolutely right, but, you know, at the very start of the show when Luna was saved, she had normal mane like Cadence and got the flowy mane as she aged and gained her power back. Cadence will have flowy mane as she ages I believe.

although i think one of the characters was too and was a unicorn i forgot with the beauty story rarity said at a camp where she got rid of her beauty

@Saint Walker I can definitely get behind that theory because we’ve seen before that leg length at least can be attributed to age, because flowing manes happen on not only alicorns I wouldn’t say the flowing mane is an age factor personally but I like your direction either way 🥰

@Wasumotowell twilight didn't at first but then gained that flowing hair anf we never saw cadence in the future so maybe she did and maybe you have to be an alicorn for a certain ammount if time or something like a part of a life cycle when a frog gains legs or somethibg

@Everything Girly The alicorn is sombras look at the amulet if you look closely there are silver stripes like sombras necklace and that

@Midnight the Baby-Eyes Cat😺 Are you talking about Grogar's bell?

Also Alicorns have great power. But when Celestia and the other princesses took all of their power and gave to to Twilight when Tirek attacked Canterlot, the princesses's manes doesnt move. Since males are stronger, Sombra kept a little magic to make his mane flow, or just because he's an ex-alicorn or something.

Huh thats weird.. the thingy that gave Cozy Glow to become an alicorn, that thingy, that pony who used that thingy to absorb all the ponies powers, and the ponies still can talk. I think there is a little magic left in their body, and the same goes to the amulet. The amulet absorbs Sombra's powers, remanining a little power. Maybe he used that little power for his mane to glow and flow?

Just my thoughs '-'

@The Beaver her mane isn't All spectral Glowy tho

@Jood Alnemer  True their is and Sunset Shimmer in my little pony Equestria girls in Her pony form She is pretty powerful unicorn Her mane doesn't flow. Also Mist Mane is one of the pillars of Equestria .

fact: not just alicorns can have flowing manes for example Mist Mane the pillar of Beauty

Everything is always in motion whether we see it or not.

Wich Make Him a King In the Next Video He Finnaly Solved King Sombra

@The Beaver Now i see one something... Mistmane and Sombra have a flowy hair and a curve horn and both are a little bit taller than others...OMG What if Mistmane is Sombra dauther!?

@Jood Alnemer OMG i got nothing too. The only explanition that i got is that when a ponie has been so long an alicorn the magic will influence the body. Make them taller and with a magic hair. ( Sorry for the bad english)

If Sombra had once the power of an alicorn then it could be possible that he creates the cristal hearth when he was not evil. It fit with his hability to made cristals

@The Beaver maybe it’s to show that’s because she’s a powerful sorcerer but there is StarSwirl the bearded and Starlight Glimmer soooo I got nothing

@Pall Woods FACT: Not everyone’s first Language was English.

@Noah Maldonado i forgot about cozy glow honestly, I’ve missed a lot

noob roblox 2022 video my short channel.office

ZizzyRoblox YT that is the best comment I’ve ever read holy shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it

Old century ponies have flowy manes like sun butt moonbutt and mistbutt

@I like rice pudding Exactly. In the premiere of season nine where was final fight with Sombra I noticed his different height too.

shiane wickham I did know that twilight gained the flowy mane I just wasn’t sure if Cadence did, sorry I didn’t word that correctly 🥺

@something I feel like it's more that the extra magic manifests itself physically, through glowing or in this case the flowing manes. It's not just a representation, rather, it's the magic overflowing or something.

@Wasumoto no only at the end does twilight

@Wasumoto no only at the end does twilight

To everyone:I think the mane just represents so much power they have extra they use to show power maybe

@Pall Woods Eh. You could've just did an "*[insert correction here]", but sure.

Pall Woods <br>FACT: People from different states have different dialogue.

Pall Woods
FACT: People from different states have different dialogue.

The Beaver I was gonna say the same thing, also Candence’ s mane doesn’t flow and she’s an Alicorn unless of course I’ve missed something, I haven’t been able to complete the full show yet 🥺

@DracoSerpentisCruor but mistmane's mane is flowy too, but she's just a unicorn.

@Pall Woods FACT: Not everyone speaks fluent English.

FACT: You're using improper grammar and english.

maybe indicating that he has a power paralleled to alicorns


Or the Allicorn amulet was made by Sombra by using his own power to make him self more powerful, kinda like Suron did with his one ring to rule them all.

@Dragma XE I think he got a bit distracted by the power of the crystal heart which could be a stronger source of magic or an equal source of magic and he could use his crystals if he need a high ground so that deals with the wings

That’s what I always kept thinking that theory he said while amazingly cool as that maybe. It literally just seems to only make sense to someone who made the theory especially when it’s about something that’s only been shown ONCE in the entire show. So yeah it obviously seems WAAAAAAY more logical and plausible than to be something that acts like wannabe bewicker bell. And even if that theory was true it still doesn’t make sense as to how and why he never attempted to try to find and reclaim his lost Alicorn magic and wings.

I like the idea that the alicorn amulet was created by Grogar or some other unknown villain, along with several other artifacts, and that the artifacts were responsible for corrupting a few ponies and creatures, such as Sombra, and possibly Stygian.


I actually have a backstory for the amulet and Sombra, please read it, even though it is extremely long: Long ago, after Gusty the Great defeated Grogar, she encountered Sombra, who was the first ever alicorn seen. Gusty confronted Sombra, who told her he was created from thin air, his body and soul made up of dark magic that lurks deep among the shadows of the unknown. Gusty knew she couldn't defeat Sombra on her own, but also knew she couldn't let him plunge the world into darkness. Gusty fled to the Everfree Forest, where she found an abandoned shrine. She entered, using her magic to light a path. At the end of the shrine, she found an old tapestry with an image of a unicorn that was bearing an amulet, and was combining his magic with the amulet's to defeat a black monster. Gusty immediately knew who that unicorn was: Starswirl the Bearded. From the corner of her eye, Gusty saw something give off a faint shimmer beneath some dirt. She brushed off the filth from the item, and could not believe her eyes. Below her hoof laid an amulet, the same one from the tapestry. Gusty saw a piece of paper laying near the tapestry, it said: "The Alicorn Amulet." Gusty knew that with this amulet, she could now battle Sombra. She raced out of the shrine, running in Sombra's direction. She faced Sombra, who was charging up his powerful blast of magic. Suddenly, the amulet began to glow. When Sombra blasted Gusty, the amulet absorbed the magic. Sombra stopped blasting, not wanting the amulet to take his power, but now the amulet was draining Sombra from his magic, taking all of it. Then, Sombra's wings disappeared, and he fell to the ground. The amulet trembled, and Gusty realized it could not contain all that magic. The amulet began to change into a corrupted form, taking on the look of Sombra's alicorn form. Then, the amulet disappeared, and so did Sombra. When Trixie stumbled upon the amulet, the reason she did not become an alicorn is because that dark magic is not just dark magic, it is Sombra's dark magic, so it would only personally connect to him, and only make him an alicorn if he takes that magic. Since that magic is personally connected to Sombra, it would only boost Trixie's magic and make her evil, not make her an alicorn. That's my backstory for Sombra and the Alicorn Amulet!

This is half Sauron's backstory, half 'FIENDship is magic' comic plot


I am not sold on Sombra having been an alicorn, but if we go with your theory, I would propose that Sombra made the alicorn amulet himself and infused it with his power. He would have been an alicorn while wearing the amulet, but not after losing it. It would make it his One Ring, so to speak. Of course, this begs the question why he never tried to retrieve it.


that's why he wears the cape, he's ashamed about losing his wings XD

If why he hates Alcorns, being that he was once one. Or that he wants his wings back… he could maybe have lost his wings before he went… crazy.

Long tips same colours and without the am still fly and come in

No but that actually could be a legitimate reason lmfao

@Sawtooth Waves <br>It would've been awesome if his true form was an Alicorn like a demonic Alicorn.

@Sawtooth Waves
It would've been awesome if his true form was an Alicorn like a demonic Alicorn.

I think he where's a cape to hide his wings to!

@Sarwat Haider great job this is really cool.

Sombra: I am so embarrassed
Put red carpet on back

Sombra: I am so embarrassed
*Put red carpet on back*

A fan animation (the folly of Celestia) did say in one way or another (in a debate) that Sombra was a ‘nuisance’ more than ha was a real threat. He must have been so hurt buy some thing or some thing was taking away from him and he decided to take all of his anger out on the Crystal Empire
(I DK about that show in general though
It kind of connects to where he might’ve come from)

that would make a lot of sense because he is kinda cocky

Not the theory but some ideas before you ask I'm to young

@A Random Dude With A Bird
Ikr, I personally consider them to be canon but a lot of people don't though. I think I remember which one you're talking about. He grew up an orphan in the Crystal Empire as a pony that I think either was the embodiment of an Umbrum or was half Umbrum but his appearance was that of a unicorn. Every year during the crystalling his body would crack like an ice cube in water, and Radiant Hope, his only friend who also grew up in the orphanage, I think it was either Crystal Falls or Chestnut Falls, would stay with him during the crystalling and had always been nice to him and was also somewhat of an outcast.
I think her being his friend and just nice in general is pretty much the only reason he didn't hate her. He hated Queen Amore, the unicorn Queen of the Crystal Empire at the time (I think that's her name) because he found out that she knew the crystalling hurt him every year yet she didn't do anything to help him, not even warn him that he should probably get out of town for a bit. In her defense I think that she thought there was a way to fix it, but that's still pretty messed up in my opinion and I don't really blame him for being angry with her over that. Unfortunately he froze her into a statue and then shattered her though if I remember correctly.

I don’t know if any of the comic books are canon but when I was younger I had a comic book about the most notorious villains in the show and sombra grew up without wings

He wears a cape because he knows if he lets ponies drink in the sight of his perfect butt , they'll be too distracted to pay attention to what he's saying.

Sombra:yes it’s true I am ashamed wait i can’t believe I said that..I AM TElLiNg mOMmMmaAa


I just wanna say, I really enjoy listening to all of your theories. They’re very interesting! Can’t wait to see more of them!


Wait a second, during the writing of this comment, Sawtooth's eyes are red in his profile. This means, either his icon is just decked up for Halloween, or, that Alicorn amulet isn't a replica, it is real?! Dun dun duuuuun!

When you said du du duuuuu I laughed so hard I almost fell

@Amy Hanson 😂<br>I don't know whether that is a rhetorical question, or not. But, to answer your question, I noticed Sawtooth's eyes were red in his profile, and, when Trixie used the real amulet, her eyes were red too. So, I just put two and two together and concluded that, that is the real amulet 😅.

I want to imagine that Sombra's past is more likely to Grogar's past, a powerful creature who rules an empire for Celestia knows how long and some pony step up to him and stole hs magic. Maybe the alicorn amulet works a little bit like Grogar's bell because of how powerful it is. Maybe....


Something I've been wondering about is: what's with the dragon, besides spike, in the episode Dragonshy? We already know about the dragons in the dragon lands, so what was it doing so far from the dragon lands, and why was it so big?


This guy can solve world hunger with these facts. Seriously how does he come up with all these realistic theories

Google:gets jealous <br>Einstein:gets jealous

Google:gets jealous
Einstein:gets jealous

That should be his next video “Solving world hunger 🍗”


This isn't just a wild theory, this is a solid scientific framework (well, in Equestria's reality/science, of course).  Well done!


I've always thought that it wasn't actually corruptive, but that the surge of power it grants is just too tempting to give up easily. Power in general when in sufficient quantities can corrupt an individual.


Sawtooth Waves I just love your My Little Pony videos so much, they bring so much to the table when it comes to the My Little Pony lore. Thank you for all your hard work and creativity that you share with all of us. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜


Here you go making me fall in love with the character design of Sombra again.


Sombra possibly being an alicorn is interesting, but I'm more curious why he's a blank flank.

@🎗•DucksRecords•🎗 oh god, i really star to like this teory

kiinqkoopa have you? Let me rephrase your sentence for you.

Have you ever heard of punctuation?

Sorry, but don’t go telling people that and not use it yourself.

•Trivia_Penguin • have you ever heard of punctuation

If you look into the comics king sombra is actual not a pony but a umbrum which was  enemies with the crystal empire and soon they all got banished underneath the crystal empire by the crystal heart but they were able to have one of their kind get outside their prison and with the help of their magic they shaped shift them into a pony and that pony or umbrum was sombra who was suppose to unleash the umbrum army from tgeir prison and rule them as their king


Well, i think that Sombra decided he didn't need wings and cloudwalking so much and transfomed his pegasus magic into raw magic (or maybe unicorns magic) and sealed them in an amulet, so he can have more kind of magic what he usually use.

Данил Булатов


Maybe it might have a similar affect to the element of magic in the equestria girls universe where the amulet granted him alicorn status but after somehow losing the amulet his alicorn power faded over time which is why he lost his wings - it might also explain why his horn looks different and why he seems to shatter after being defeated (i havent seen the later seasons with him so i might have some facts wrong though)


This is an interesting theory! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, Sawtooth! ^_^<br>A thought just occurred to me. If removing the stolen magic made Cozy Glow a Pegasus again, why didn't the alicorn princesses revert to their original forms when their magic was given away or taken from them? I suppose it could be something like your "A Magical Comparison" video where harmoniously and disharmoniously acquired magic affect a person differently. Cozy certainly didn't earn her magic in a nice way. Maybe that's why the physical changes didn't stick for her. It reminds me of this quote from The Swan Princess. "Once you steal something, you spend your whole life fighting to keep it." None of Cozy Glow's new power ever truly became a part of her. It may as well have been in an amulet around her neck.

Often I wonder what would happen if someone used the Shadow Stygian used, the Inspiration Manifestation book, the Alicorn Amulet and Grogars Bewitching Bell at once. How far gone would the user be. What kind of threat would that brave and foolish being represent? Does he already have a stained window of him in the throne room years after Twilight became ruler? I mean you gotta admit the way all those artifacts seem to have similarities to each other in terms of function in one way or another is way to close to be a coincidence. Like someone built the other artifacts to either to combat Grogar or to take his place. Think about it Sawtooth. Think about it.

Well just give them to pinkie at least nothing bad would happen only if you count a candy world as bad

Maybe the power as discord cause he's always stating he has infinite power and in season 8, and 9 it literally shows discord being stronger than all four villains if not stronger i guess...

@Syke Unsent your theory reminds me about some phrases Asriel sayed in undertale during the last battle ^^

They would become the pinochle of darkness, a being so devoid of any light that all of Equestria would tremble at their name.

Well the answer is there if you break down what each item does.  The Bell is simply full of power, i imagine the Alicorn Amulet is the same.  except i believe the Amulet is not corruption itself, rather it amplifies the user's personality.

That leaves us with the Shadow and the Book.  Apart from someone being all-powerful like Discord powered Pinky was.  The Book makes the user work overtime in inspiration.  Because you're already so powerful you wouldn't be likely to listen to anyone, but you would go on probably a cosmic transforming rampage until you drove yourself utterly insane.  As for the Shadow, that is more or less a form of destruction, Creation, and Destruction, would they cancel each other or would you end up being Thanos "let's destroy and remake the universe in my image".  And again you'd just drive yourself insane, probably rewind time and become your own Origin of Discord.  But because you're so mad, you'd totally forget anything your past self did before becoming Discord.


It would make some sense if Sombra started out as an evil Alicorn, someone whose power made him unbeatable by normal pony strength. Then some pony created the amulet to steal and seal enough of Sombra’s power to reduce him to being an ordinary unicorn, after which he could be defeated temporarily.

Alternatively Sombra was never an Alicorn, but he knew he might have to face an Alicorn in battle so he created the Alicorn amulet as a way of magnifying his power to the level where he could conceivably go horn to horn with Celestia and Luna when they came to put him down. Then because the magic that created the amulet was evil it would corrupt whoever tried to use it, not that this would matter to Sombra.

Regardless the amulet doesn’t just magnify or supplement the user’s power, it also gives them knowledge of spells like the age spell that no-pony knows how to do. We know that while each unicorn seems to have one cutie-mark related spell that they have innate mastery over most spells have to be learned through study, so simply having the power to do them doesn’t mean being able to do them. Actually where did that spell come from? Following the show’s internal logic it would have to be the innate spell of whoever’s power went into the Alicorn Amulet, but Sombra is never shown using that spell, his innate seems to be either those dark crystals or the nightmare visions. Actually the only pony we’ve seen do anything like an age spell unassisted is Starlight, when she was trying to play Dragon Pit with Sunburst, and that could have been an illusion. Could she have somehow created the Alicorn Amulet while trying to take revenge on Twilight?


My theory:
So the crystal ponies may seem like they’re not unicorns, Alcorns, pegasus or land ponies
WRONG
Either they hid their horn or wings
Or they didn’t always not have it
Here’s what I think happened:
When king Zambra was good
He was the greatest Alacorn
Everyone loved him
until...
Starswirl was just making the greatest amulet that whoever wears it well get ultimate power he was going to give it to King Sombra
But then shadow took and made it have dark power whoever wears it will take over them and they will turn 😈EVIL😈
Shadow gave it to King Sombra when he wore it he wasn’t the same kind hearted

 person everyone knew...

If you made it here you’re pretty patient 😉


Love the theory sawtooth! Considering king sombra actually being an alicirn makes sense going along with all the other royalty in equestria. However the fact that his brainwashing abilities transfered with it, make me think that he must have had domain over something evil to begin with. Or maybe it was broad and he had control over all emotions instead of love. Assuming he was king of the crystal empire it has to be and emotionally driven talent maybe envy or jealousy? I dunno but this definitely needs a follow up theory on the past of king sombra!


It makes sense to me, it would definitely explain his neverending well of confidence being that he's this strong at only half power. What I wanna know is if sombra is this powerful, exactly how powerful was he before he had his magic taken away?

I can imagine this being his reason for enslaving ponies as well, perhaps his goal was to find the missing half of his power.

Comics still portray him as a better character though, so I still prefer that sombra


En resumen, parece según éste video, el amuleto que usaba Trixie, tenía los poderes de el Rey Sombra, por eso tenía terribles consecuencia para quien lo usará, y contra quienes era usado. Así como el cencerro de Grogar (Discord) o el amuleto que las princesas hermanas entregaron a Twilight en el último episodio, con la diferencia de que el último amuleto mencionado no corrompía al portador.


Ok here's my theory: when the crystal empire was first starting, Luna nor Celestia could rule it alone. They were meant to rule together. So they enlisted the help of starswril the bearded to find a ruler of the crystal empire. After going through many candidates, Sombera was the only one who was able to rule. Starswril made him an alicorn and since they didn't have a crown they gave him the amulet as a crown. Luna and Celestia used the elements of harmony to hold the power inside the amulet bringing down Sombera for 1000 years until the crystal heart defeated him. Not sure if anyone would read this and sorry if any misspellings


I love how you're using your vision EPs in your episodes about the villains. It's great


Honestly to me, I always figured the Alicorn Amulet was named the way it was because it could elevate an ordinary unicorn to the power level of an alicorn, rather than the amulet having the magic of an alicorn, and I honestly thought Sombra probably made it in order to elevate his power even further and, due to the side effects of the amulet, probably discarded it as a failed experiment


I got a theory:

Maybe when Celestia and Luna first banished Sombra, they sealed away Sombra's alicorn status away into the amulet?!

The amulet could be like The One Ring, Sombra knew he can't win, so he sealed away part of his power, thus, beign an evil power, corrupted the wearer to help his creator

Hear me out, The Amulet might be made from Starswirl here's my story "If Starswirl the Bearded did make the 2 Sisters into Alicorn why not objects, Countless Fails and Trails and made his first magical artifact which is the Alicorn Amulet, then he learned that such power consumes one's soul then he hid it away until somepony found his long lost artifact"<br>That is the only theory that comes close and make sense of this, May I ask who used 6 Artifacts before? Starswirl the Bearded, who probably made the 2 Sisters Alicorn? Starswirl the Bearded

But why would they make it an amulet of all things, they should’ve known that one day someone would find it and use its power for evil means

@Thunder_Arch OH YEAH, I just remembered he's not really one. (An Umbrum right?)

@Michelle Stratman possibly he was banished before Celestia and luna did and they took magic before

@Sangay Parop Someone could've infiltrated the castle and stole the amulet-

And  leave  the  amulet  in a  store   where  another  pony  could  use  it's   magic  for  evil  deeds. <br>Then  celestia  and   luna  are   not   good  rulers.

And  leave  the  amulet  in a  store   where  another  pony  could  use  it's   magic  for  evil  deeds.
Then  celestia  and   luna  are   not   good  rulers.


theory:
maybe sombra created the amulet and stole an alicorn's magic to create it himself. he created it to resemble what he thought of himself -a really powerful pony. and he thought that only alicorns were worthy of that power, thus why he created it to transform him into one. he then became known as an alicorn when he reigned and when that mysterious pony took the amulet off him, he became ashamed and started wearing the coat. the reason why the magic didn't transform Trixie into an alicorn, was probably because she wasn't the one who made the amulet. (in my theory, i imagined he enchanted it so that only the creator of it would transform)
again, just one of my crazy theories just because i wanted to take part in all of these theory ideas. sorry for the amount of writing, its likely that no one will see this anyway, nor read until the end.


The one pony who would be really interesting to see the alicorn amulet used by would be Rainbow Dash.  Assuming it mainly is boosting the pegasus and earth pony magics, while bringing some unicorn magic to the table, it would make her a true beast of earth and sky.  She has enough earth pony magic in her to go hoof to hoof with Applejack while having the raw pegasus magic to rainboom and to cloudshape exceedingly well.  She probably didn't ascend on her own in part because in her mind it is more cool to be a pegasus than to be an alicorn but mostly because of how high a pedestal she places alicornhood -- you can even see it in the episode where alicorn twilight tries to challenge filly rainbow dash to a race.  Filly rainbow dash could fly rings around twilight but doesn't even TRY.  I also wonder if she is corruptible by it -- it doesn't seem in her nature -- she likes power, but it isn't power over other ponies.  She's more happy to leave other ponies in awe than to have them do things for her, seeking adoration and ego fulfillment rather than dominance.  I think the amulet would find her more a conundrum than Twilight finds Pinkie.  Each time it would think it has an opening into her psyche, it wouldn't work, or would be irrelevant for controlling her.


Sawtooth's theories are awesome, I always loved watching them😃

And based on the comments
There are sooo many possible theories to explain this. And if none of them are shown in the movie or book, we'll never know what really happens. And people will think of more and more theories
Which will be awesome and confusing at the same time😅


You got me back in the fandom.THANK YOU!


I have a question: if Sombra lost his wings by the amulet that means only wing magic is in the amulet? so what is the Pegasus or is pretty wore to wear it?


King Sombra used to be King Kolbalt, he was a unicorn that ruled Equestria before Celestia and Luna were alive. When the sisters took the throne, Kolbalt was furious and stole magic from all 3 tribes instead of earning it, making him an alicorn. Then Star Swirl used the Amulet to rip the magic that he stole from the tribes, and locked it into the amulet. Star Swirl then used the amulet to banish Sombra from the land, causing him to find the Crystal Empire- Take over it- Get defeated, so on.

Idk, it's just a thought. Haha!


"Don't worry , it's a replica"<br>This has me crackin' up

"Don't worry , it's a replica"
This has me crackin' up


I love your video! Although I have to ask, what if (in a universe where a. Sombra was somehow given a high seat if powerful and b. the givers knew he was a shadow pony, therefore rendering him incapacitated of becoming an alicorn) the amulet was given to Sombra as a way to gain powers equivalent to alicorns? Heck, what if the alicorn amulet originally signified a deep level of trust between an outsider and the royal family and was corrupted by Sombra in some tragic tale of his quest for power (although that wouldn't explain why or how the curator pony had it, much less put it up for sale).


I think sombra is an alicorn. Considering the fact that he enslaved an entire Empire and that it took a while for Celestia and Luna to realise that proves his magical abilities. What I don't understand is who he is. Was he living in canterlot before enslaving the crystal Empire? Where did he learn that magic from?<br>IS HE A PONY OR A GOD?? Then is he similar to Stygian, that shadow pony??

@Lightning Dash Productions im not saying i ship them i actual just want them as friends the shippers are just legit

Well..... I have a couple half theories about that......
1: Sombre encountered a fragment of the true Pony of Shadows. Stygian simply embraced and merged with the larger portion of PoS, but such an ancient and powerful evil cannot simply be banished.
2: The Other alicorn was not Luna but the crystal Princess and rightful ruler of the Crystal Empire, ancestor of Candace, returned with aid to reclaim her throne and free her people. Killed in the attempt, though this was unknown to her subjects. Which is why when she showed up to rule it was unquestioned and in a moment of crisis when she was rushing to the citizens aid she was called the crystal Princess.

Read the comics, theres alot of information that never has been mentioned in the show.

@🎗•DucksRecords•🎗 they were clooooooooooooooooooooooose friends and maybe would have been lovers if Sombra didn't go all big bad.

@acwck ac ikr but wasnt he in love with her in the comics i dont think so damn shippers make those two look so accurate it almost looks canon

I think so too because he is actually as strong as a alicorn
Celestia is Tier: At least 4-B, possibly Low 2-C | Low 2-C
And Sombra is Tier: At least 4-B, possibly Low 2-C

Low 2-C means Low 2-C | Universe level+: Characters who are capable of significantly affecting[1], creating and/or destroying an area of space that is qualitatively larger than an infinitely-sized 3-dimensional space.

If he isn't/wasn't one then hes the most poweful unicorn ever xD

@acwck ac  where did u get this information?

Sombra is a blank flanked Shadow Pony. He isn't a pony at all. He is from a horde of Shadow Creatures called the Umbra or something. BTW Sombra has no wings and a lot of fans ship him with his best friend Radiant Hope

Princess Amore doesn't have wings and she's a ruler of crystal empire. Then again, Cadence is also a the ruler of crystal empire but she's an alicorn :^


I very much agree, I mean it all makes SENSE! Your theories are like no others, you have evidence and you are clever, that’s everything you need to have a good theory. Well done on your videos Sawtooth Waves.


My theory is that there are several kinds of magic:

Normal magic — this magic is used by all ponies, (including earth ponies and Pegasi being that they seem to have some amount magic as well judging by how tirek could steal magic from them) this magic is very stable and easily controlled but lacks physicality, rarely being able to create objects and barely doing much physical damage.

Alicorn magic — alicorn magic is a more focused and refined form of normal magic, this allows the magic to interact better with the environment and create more powerful bursts of magical energy. when a pony’s body has a large surplus of normal magic, it causes the body to increase in size to better fit the density of the magic currently present, though, this change isn’t instantaneous, this also causes a pony to gain the attributes of the other 2 ‘races’

Evil magic — evil magic is used by ponies like sombra, this magic is highly volatile and can be used for combat in a way that normal magic cannot. This magic is easy to direct but difficult to control, this causes beams of magical energy to be powerful, but inaccurate. This sort of magic can actually take a toll on a pony’s psyche and cause them to do bad stuff. This magic cannot be used to create an alicorn

Changeling magic — changeling magic is a version of normal magic, specifically created for changelings to use, this magic can integrate into a changelings biology, allowing them to change shape and form at will. This magic can also be described as invasive meaning that it can absorb other forms of magic

Chaos magic — chaos magic is a form of magic created whenever something happens that is strange or uncommon, this magic can be used by draconnoques to create objects out of nothing and convert matter


Funnily enough, I have one details that goes way too well along this theory and one that goes so much the other I cannot see how this theory can remain valid.

- The detail that goes along is when Zecora asked Twilight to use alicorn magic and she used something that made her look very much as if she was under Sombra's influence.

- The details that goes against is Tirek. Tirek sucked the magic out of alicorns (born and made) but none of them lost their alicorn status.

(edit : also 1500 comments, I'm way too lazy to check if this has been said before)


I agree with the theory, however, when Sombra got released by Grogar, why didn't he come back for the amulet- was it destroyed or sealed away for good? I forgot. I was going to ask why Trixie didn't get wings but what if the amulet only contained half the magic that would be needed to get wings


When he uses the word 'Finally' you know it's something big


Honestly, I feel like Sombra created the amulet himself, to store his power for another occasion. Perhaps it went wrong and he lost his memory of it, or he's not revealing it because he eventually wants to regain his power.

He could have done this as to not lose some war (which is funny, since he said "I may not have won the battle, but I will win the war!" or something like that), or he could have attempted to amplify his power and failed.

Trixie probably wouldn't become an Alicorn.. because it WASN'T her magic. It wouldn't have fit at full capacity.


My only possible issue with the theory is when the princesses gave up their magic to hide it from Terik.

If having their magic taken away changes them into regular ponies/unicorns/pegasi, then why didn't they?


Why Trixie didn't become an alicorn?
I have two theories.
1.Amulet did not give her all magic that it posses.Amulet only corrupted her for one reason,to bring back it to Sombra.You wonder why trixie did not return amulet to Sombra,because he is dead,so amulet stayed with trixie.

2.Trixie did not take all magic inside the amulet,because she knew that it would be to much for her and she would not be able to control it.


Hmmm...interesting theory.  Though, I may have something to add. Maybe he created it using all of his alicorn magic -- both light magic and dark magic. The light magic is the gem itself while containing dark magic making it a cursed item.


2:40 I know this is a small, irrelevant detail but I love how you used Crystals (Sombra's song from the villains sountrack) in the backround at that moment. I've been on a leitmotif binge recently so that made my day!

Actually, now that i'm thinking about it MLP used the leitmotific system as well. I wonder if there's any coded information hidden there. Welp, time for me to go on a hunt!

@Rebel Appliance From what I remember, the changelings leitmotif was also pretty cool!

Princess Luna has an excellent leitmotif that occasionally plays when she’s in an episode.

Electric Flame gaming I don’t know yet but I heard it’s going to be about Lloyd

@The Anti Critic When do they going to make a next season I’m wondering going to be about

@Sawtooth Waves  Because without the element Of Harmony The seed  that discord planted will destroy equestria

@Sawtooth Waves Sawtooth wave can you theory in Equestria girls will they Sacrifice or pass down or destroy the geo Or maybe make a new tree of harmony

oh yeah, daniel ingram is really good with leitmotifs! his scores are great


Interesting theory, and since Sombra's backstory from "My Little Pony: FIENDship is Magic Issue #1" and following four-part story "Siege of the Crystal Empire" were simply obliterated by the 9th season of MLP:FiM, it is perfectly possible.

But if I'm being honest, it's a shame that concepts from "My Little Pony: FIENDship is Magic Issue # 1" did not made to the show, as this comic issue brought the topic of FATE into the universe that puts so much value in finding/forging your own destiny.

Also, how many Alicorn Amulets exist now? You have one, Silver Quill has one, and Cellestia knows who else has one...


Sombra might be an ex alicorn due to him have tried to rule the empire more the once the crystal princess may have had the magic to zap his magic out of him and stored it in a magical crystal. Which made him only have a horn.


In my own world, I think that Sombra was once an alicorn that ruled the crystal empire normally -- not evilly. We've seen that he can create crystals, so maybe he made a magical crystal that could store energy. Over time, Sombra came to realize that the Amulet was draining his power and not just storing it. Sombra became very weak due to this and sought help to find out how he could restore his strength. Someone (not sure who) told him he would need to give up his wings and become a unicorn (or vise versa). He chose to keep his horn and found someone to take his wings. Some time after, Sombra became corrupt and took over the empire. I would think Sombra wouldn't care much to hide the Amulet well. So once he was defeated, the Amulet was found, and disposed of. Along the way, someone found it and it was passed from pony to pony, eventually landing with Trixie.

:)


It could explain his obsession with the crystal empire. Maybe he managed to absorb their magic somehow, from all pony races and became an alicorn?? <br>And for the trixie thing, seeing how it was corrupting her the more she used it. Maybe she didn’t become an alicorn because her transformation wasn’t done yet.

My issue with this theory lies in how the princesses retained their forms after they were drained by both Tirek and the Bell. Now perhaps it was a magnifying amulet that sombra used to become an alicorn, and Trixie just didn't know how to use it properly or wasn't strong enough to do that by herself. however there seems to be a fundamental difference between true alicorns and a temporary one like what Cozy Glow became


I would argue that if the Alicorn Amulet truly was Sombra's, that he would have searched for it after getting resurrected.  Instead, he immediately went out to conquer the Crystal empire.  One could argue that he didn't need it anymore, but that is just speculation at best.


I have one possibility of who or what stole Sombra's Magic,

I may sound crazy but I feel like It was grogar... He stopped sombra from using it by well,

Stealing it when he was a good male alicorn, That is Ponykind's First ever alicorn prince.

However when he was evil,  he got SOME of his good power back and turned it into evil,

But then, Trixie stole the amulet and...You know what happens.


We know that Sombra has very strong magic, he may have been able to steal magic from his subjects in order to make himself an alicorn. However, Sombra isn't a pony, he's an Umber (yes, this is comic canon, but it is never contradicted in show.) This, I think, explains the corruption aspect. Similar to how Pinkie couldn't handle Discord's magic, Trixie couldn't handle Sombra's magic, which corrupted her. We know from School Raze that different creatures have different kinds of magic. This is also seen in how the Kirin have powers similar to unicorns, but it is different (Kirin aura is different than unicorn aura.). I think that the Alicorn Amulet corrupts because it is not meant to be used by ponies.


BTW, additional evidence:
Remember the season 4 premiere when the forest was invading...Zecora came to ponyville and helped twilight with a potion. But in order for the potion to work, "alicorn" magic needs to be used. Noticed that twilights magic beam is the same as Sombra.

Sombra has no connections with any princesses (not even the two sisters), maybe its possible that sombra is replicating alicorn magic and created the artifact. We all know that sombra has powerful knowledge in magic (banishing an entire empire), maybe Sombra managed to find out how to use alicron magic without having wings or without becoming an alicorn (notice that sombra never used wings when he came back). Why would he try to learn or replicate alicorn magic (why choose to rule the crystal empire specifically, in season 4 and 9)?? Maybe some royalty denied Sombra of his right to become an alicorn and seeked revenge on the ruler of the empire . Kinda like the antagonist in kung fu panda...lol...also this theory holds because Sombra got vanished the same time he cursed the empire (without being an alicorn), I would assume that sombra got vanished without wings because he came back without one.

@Cat Gamerzz Well, the personality of Sombra in season 9 is a bit confusing:
Why take the Crystal empire so desperately, right after come back?
If the whole plan was to destroy the tree of Harmony, why even do the previous?
He has the magic and knowledge to conquer Canterlot alone, why enslave the Ponyville population?
And most important, why attack Discord, he can't have gotten a weird power–up in that short time, and the news of Discord beign defeated by the elements always were common knowledge, he knew that Discord wasn't really defeated by his magic, as the only way to defeat Discord were the elements and he lost aganist them too
For someone that seems to have backup plans for it's backup plans, it's bizarre, or part of an even greater plan

@Wishing Starif he did lived for a long time, that would mean that Starswirl knew Sombra, but starswirl never mentioned anything about sombra in season 9 premiere as if he doesnt know he existed...starswirl would've atleast reacted to sombra not being an alicorn anymore..also, starswirl (or the pillars) wouldve helped vanished sombra back then if he was before celestia and luna.... Im guessing sombra ruled the crystal empire after starswirl disappeared into limbo and it would also means that sombra is post celestia and luna (guessing celestia and luna vanished sombra because they were the only ponies powerful enough to vanish him)...also sombra childish or spoiled king like character in season 9 makes sense because he wasn't fit to be an alicorn at all. In order to become an alicorn according to celestia is you must have the characteristic of a ruler (a princess)(season 3).

@Cat Gamerzz I think he was an alicorn but it was taken away much earlier before he even ruled the empire, or net Luna and Celestia. Being that he use to be an alicorn it of course makes sense since the lifespan of an alicorn is much longer then that of other pony

Also, I think Sombra isn't an alicorn because when he got introduced, Celestia specifically says "A UNICORN who's heart is as black as night"

I thought Twilights magic matched that of Sombra because it was bouth times dark magic.


You know, Sombras character is based on Sauron from "Lord of the rings". And...maybe  he put his magic in amulet himself? To save his magic like Sauron did?


so we all know Sombra used to or tried to rule that crystal empire, and he obviously ruled it before Cadence did so maybe whoever defeated him created the amulet to steal his alicorn magic


Personally I think Sombra was hired by an alicorn to create it (before his hostile takeover of The Crystal Empire) but part of his plan was to enchant it with dark Magic to corrupt the alicorn who hired him but the alicorn caught on and got rid of it


I think he was always an aliorn too, but when he was defeated the first time, he lost his alicorn powers and the alicorn amulet was created from it somehow.

Alright, I'll bite. If I had to guess, and we go of speculation that he's a pony and not an umbrum like in the comics, I'd guess that the Alicorn amulet is something made by either Starswirl, Celestia/Luna, or Sombra himself.

On the thought that Sombra was an Alicorn initially (leaving us unsure how he got the power in the first place) the amulet is, as you said, an artifact that sealed away some of his power. I would think it something either Starswirl or one of the sisters created to use before defeating him to hinder his power, as it is possible this happened before the pony of shadows (who knows, they only ever used 1000 years/moons/etc.) Later it was lost/stolen/found by someone of the general public and wound up in circulation at the curio shop.

On the other hand, it could be something that Sombra manifested himself from his own power, hence why it looks so much like him. Alicorn sombra is enjoying his tyranny in the crystal empire, ruling his enslaved and mind controlled ponies, and gets word that the princesses are on the rise with the intent to take him down. We all know he was smart enough to hide the crystal heart in his castle, requiring the use of dark magic to find, etc, etc. Suppose that on top of that, he sealed away some of his Alicorn magic and turned it into an amulet, intending to use it when he returned to regain his former glory. The idea being that he had no idea how/if they would defeat him, and if they had taken away his magic, some would still exist for him to rule with. Likely, in this scenario, the princesses found that amulet inside the empire just before sealing him away, or someone else found it afterward just outside the empire. They examined and recorded it's power, but it was lost or stolen somehow, which is how it got into circulation, and eventually the curio shop where trixie found it.


Random question, excluding Shining Armor, is it possible to have more male Alicorns (Stallicorns)?
Personally I like the thought that there's the potential for more than just one male Alicorn. The only two (sorry, biggest ) problems my short-circuiting brain has found with this is what they would be the Stallicorns of, and who said Stallicorns would be. Now I like to include people's OCs whenever I go theory crafting after a series has ended, which opens up probably hundreds (of thousands?) of candidates to be Stallicorns. Then there's canon characters of which we happily have no shortage.
And then there's another thing which gives a nod back to your Reforming Cozy Glow video. That Cozy was originally a pegasus but became an alicorn through consuming magic of different kinds other than her own. Which to my brain = pegasi can become alicorns. Which opens up yet another section of Equestrian Stallicorn candidates.
My final theory which is mostly just speculative questions at this point is: can an earth pony become a Stallicorn? Probably crazy, and I'd like to go back to your video on Pinkie and note she did not gain a horn or wings in the few seconds she was using Discord's power. Originally I would've thought "oh well I guess that rules out Earth Ponies", but thinking a little more made me wonder. What if Cozy Glow had been an earth pony, not a pegasus? Would she still have become an Alicorn? Personally I think the answer is yes

That's just some food for thought from your digital neighborhood idiot, Frags.

This might just be a long shot but maybe he became an alicorn thanks to a magic we only see him use, creating crystal from nothing. Sombras Crystals are Unique and are actually very strong, they were able to destroy the tree of harmony with ease even when it was at full power, and they are capable of canceling teleportation and who knows what other magic they are capable of resisting. Now imagen that power being used by an alicorn, who knows what they could do, on a after thought, When Tirek learned of Twilights existence his first question was where her castle was, so maybe it was common for alicorns to posses a castle. Now what type of castle would fit Sombra, The crystal Palace. What if Sombras magic as an alicorn was so strong that he could make buildings and homes, It would explain some things about the Crystal empire like how they were able to make an entire city out of crystals, the unique design the palace itself has, and even the snowflake pattern the stretches across the entire empire. We know the crystal ponies can pour their love into the ground and into the crystal heart, but what if Sombra in his prime could use that same pathway but in reverse, sending magic from the palace to anywhere in the empire. This would give Sombra the power to attack invaders at anytime and in any direction making him practically invincible. Now into a little story I thought that would work with this. Sombras enemies could not reach him since his crystals would just capture them if no matter where they are in the empire so they came up with a plan. Somepony would get close to Sombra as a friend and then use an artifact to steal his magic and it worked and the alicorn amulet was born, and with part of Sombras magic, his very being was cut off it started to warp him, getting deranged and mad as time went by like a soldier losing his arm and not getting proper help. In Sombras confusion he started getting the personality we see in the show wanting to get back what he lost but now he does not trust anyone so he uses mind control so that he will not be betrayed again.


This theory is so believable! Remember in season 4 Twilight used "alicorn magic" to transform Zecora's drink? It looked like Sombra's magic, that could explain... things...


I don't know why alicorn amulet was never brought into the subject again in the show. 🤔🤔🤔

@Shradha Thakur Well we got what we got, so no use getting disappointed. That's at least how I look at things.

But it should’ve been in the show more. It’s way to powerful and it had potential

I think it was supposed to be a one off thing.


There's one hole in the theory though. When Celestia and Luna got their magic sucked away, they didn't lose anything, although it could be because they were born with a horn... Hm...


He sounds so excite explaining his Sombra breakthrough, oh my goodness


Thing is, Sombra was at no point just your standard unicorn (if we take into account the comic Canon). He's an umbrum. He was merely molded into the shape of a pony and had his powers sealed away in order to be able to leave the prison of the umbrum below the crystal empire. The notion that he's not a standard unicorn in the show either is reinforced by the fact that he's vulnerable to the crystal heart and that even as an adult he's still lacking a cutie mark.
That being said, it is also worth mentioning that umbrum in their natural Form do have wings, though from what I remember they lack horns.

But I definitely think that the Amulet is in some way connected to him. Maybe as an artifact created by him (and infused with his power) in an attempt to give him Alicorn-like abilities.


I'm sure that if Twilight and others use the power of the elements of harmony, the Alicorn Amulet will no longer have the magic lock and will not corrupt the mind of that pony who uses it, because even if the elements of harmony are broken, Twilight and the others still have the magic of the friendship that was stored in them


bruh i can tell this gonna be some quality content


Now I have a theory. If the amulet gave a unicorn Alicorn levels of magic, what would it do to a Pegasus or an earth pony? My own theory is that it would enhance their own kind of magic to Alicorn levels. A Pegasus would essentially get Alicorn levels of speed, and an earth pony would get alicorn levels of strength.
