“	A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't really care much about. But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful. Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony!	„
	~ Twilight Sparkle.

“	You're wrong Tirek! I may have given you my Alicorn magic, but I carry within me the most powerful magic of all!	„
	~ Twilight to Tirek before defeating him.

“	ENOUGH! Because of you, I almost lost my way! But everycreature here has reminded me of the true power of friendship! There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also always be those who find the light! The Pillars knew this! That's why they created the Elements of Harmony! The Elements showed me and my friends how strong our friendship could be! Together we worked to bring harmony to Equestria! But there will always be more to do! Which is why we teach others about the Magic of Friendship! Others who will continue our mission after we are gone! Now I truly understand! The Elements were just symbols! The real magic has always been right here! And the more who understand how powerful friendship is, the stronger we will all be! Together!	„
	~ Twilight's final speech to Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow.

“	How the Magic of Friendship grows.	„
	~ Twilight Sparkle's final words in the series as she sends her student Luster Dawn to Ponyville to make new friends and learn more about friendship just as she did, as well as the last words in the Friendship series.

Background

After being sent to Ponyville to oversee the Summer Sun Celebration's preparations, Twilight met Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity. When Nightmare Moon returned to bring upon eternal night, the six ponies set out to the Castle of the Two Sister, which is located in the Everfree Forest. When they reached there, they found only five out of six elements of harmony.  When Twilight tried to try something, her five friends thought that it would be better to give her some time and space. Nightmare Moon took this opportunity and teleported Twilight and the elements of harmony to another part of the castle. The five ponies quickly realizes this and set out to find Twilight. 

When they found Twilight, she figured out how to get the sixth element of harmony to appear: friendship. The elements appeared before them. Using the elements of harmony,  the six turned Nightmare Moon back to Princess Luna. They would continue to help defend Equestria using the elements of harmony. 

Later, Celestia sent Twilight an unfinished spell of Starswirl the bearded. Twilight accidentally cast this spell, causing her friends' destinies to change. After changing their destinies back, Twilight finish the spell. This causes the elements of harmony to fire a blast at her, much to the five ponies' shock. The blast sent to Celestia, who turns her into an alicorn. A few moments later, she was sent back to Ponyville, where she is now a princess.

In the Season 9 finale, she soon becomes the ruler of Equestria with Spike as her Ambassador, and becoming a teacher as well to ponies and creatures alike, including her own star student Luster Dawn.

This includes a wide-variety of plants, fruits, inanimate objects, a small flying creature called a Breezy, or even a vampire pony. (In regards to the latter two, she has additionally demonstrated that she can use another species in the area as a template for transformation.) She once transmuted an apple into a nest of bird eggs, one of whom hatched instantly.

  • Dark Magic:
  • Time Travel: Can travel through time, but can only stay in that moment of time for about a minute or so.

  • Cloning/Duplication
  • Magic Disabling: Can disable someones magic for a short amount of time
  • Weather Manipulation: As she is an alicorn, Twilight is technically capable of manipulating the weather the same way a pegasus like Rainbow Dash can. This includes using clouds to create rain, strike lightning, making tornadoes, etc
  • Magic Absorption: Twilight is able to absorb magic from any supernatural source. Twilight is able to sense what kind of magic it is, even tracing it back to those involved with its creation (including high-level magic users such as Celestia and Nightmare Moon). If the target is full of a considerably massive amount of magic, Twilight will still be able to absorb a lot but not too much of the energy. She also cannot destroy this energy, but she could transform it into a different kind of energy. The pony can also transfer it to another individual as a form of effect stacking, increasing their strength/attack potency.
  • Object Possession/Surveillance Communication: While apparently still in Ponyville, Twilight used a spell to see and communicate with Starlight Glimmer in Canterlot in the form of a music box ballerina.
  • Mind Delving: With the Magical Mindscape Manifestation spell, Twilight can enter the mind of a subject. The resulting mindscape reflects a person’s life and personality and even contains beings that reflect a person’s multiple moods and “sides” of themselves.
  • Mind Melding: A spell that combines the consciousness of a subject into the caster's own body. This allows both beings to act as one in this single body and utilize their now shared abilities, or even allow one being to act while the other focuses on other matters during the situation. The two beings can even communicate with each other through their consciousness, allowing for silent strategy.
  • Traumalocation: A form of locality tracking. When cast on someone who has recently been the victim of some form of attack, Twilight can use this spell to locate and view the person or persons who committed the act.
  • Cloudwalking: Twilight can cast a spell that allows the user or target to walk on clouds, an ability that only comes naturally to winged creatures such as pegasi or alicorn ponies. As Twilight is now an alicorn, she no longer needs to use this spell on herself, though she could still use it on others in any case.
  • Wing Generation: Twilight can grant a target a pair of butterfly-like wings for flight, made from gossamer & morning dew. As a bonus, the target is given the ability to walk on clouds. The individual using the wings must be cautious, as they dissolve when closely exposed to sunlight rays for a brief period of time. As Twilight is now an alicorn, she no longer has a need for this spell, though she could still use it on others in any case.
  • Gill Generation: Twilight can grant herself or others gills, allowing the targets to breathe underwater and swim faster.
  • Fail-Safe Spell: A spell intended to return any abnormalities in the general area to normal. It doesn’t work when trying to clear magic by stronger casters.
  • Mustache Spell: Grants the user or target facial hair.
  • Zipper Generation: Twilight can generate zippers on any surface, perfect for turning a target’s mouth into a shut zipper. Would likely come in handy as either a distraction or to silence someone, especially if the user relies on incantations.
  • Dissolving Magic: Twilight can dissolve objects.
  • Size Manipulation: A spell Twilight witnessed Starlight perform. With it, she can manipulate the size of herself or other targets to take on larger opponents. This also increases the targets' strength accordingly.
  • Effect Stacking: Twilight can use an incantation to focus the magic within herself and her allies. Doing this blends and equalizes the combined strength and attack potency of Twilight and whomever is fighting alongside her all within themselves.
  • Mental Projection: Twilight can magically project perfectly life-like mental images and animated simulations of whatever happens to be on her mind, allowing her to display many potential outcomes of a particular scenario. These simulations are so realistic, she herself almost assumed that a visualization of Starlight falling into a black hole was real.
  • Memory Restoration: Twilight can restore the memories of those whose memories have been altered or erased.
  • Object Repairing: Twilight can use magic to repair objects, such as a broken dam.
  • Siren Song:
• Wings: Since she is now an alicorn, she have wings to fly. Even though she struggled to use them at first, she got some flying lessons from Rainbow Dash and can fly fine now.

Equipment

• Spellbook: A personal book of spells that Twilight can reference at any point using teleportation magic. She refers to it as a “condensed version” of her regular spellbooks, meaning there must be hundreds of different spells Twilight could refer to depending on the situation. Evidently, she’s also a fast reader, as she skimmed through half of the book in only a few seconds.
• Element of Magic Tiara: This crown, more specifically the gemstone that rests upon it, represents Twilight’s Element of Harmony: magic. The Elements of Harmony are six supernatural artifacts representing subjective aspects of harmony. These elements were found and taken from the Tree of Harmony by Celestia & Luna thousands of years ago. Each element can only be activated if the wielder possesses their corresponding trait, and if all six elements are used in conjunction. They are only used on rare occasions (often as a last resort) during events of danger or anarchy, in order to restore balance and peace. They are capable of imprisonment (such as when Discord was imprisoned in stone), or banishment (used to banish various villains to other planes of existence, such as the moon, Tartarus, or limbo). In addition, they can summon a rainbow tornado that engulfs the target; should they be evil or in opposition of harmony, this tornado will alter their morality completely and they will show remorse for their actions. Additionally, if the target is taking on an alternate form/personality, they will be reverted to their original form, vanquishing the evil within them. The elements have also shown to be capable of generating a magic whip, used notably to pull a pony out from within the Pony of Shadows.
