Here's hoping the "next level" of Twilight's studies involves everything it means to be an Stars Alicorn/Princess of Friendship/whatever...their may have not been much build-up or transitioning to BEING an Alicorn (it still feels like a huge leap to go from saving the Crystal Empire through Spike, to now being ready for Alicorn-level studies), but we can at least look forward to her growth post-transformation, and such studies would be perfect in expanding on Alicorns. Still makes me wish their was more indication in the actual transitioning, but they will probably rationalize and use arguably-subjective hints to justify that we should have seen it coming.

Here's also hoping that, whatever studies or growth Twilight goes through in the future, it will have every bit to do with being an Alicorn and not just a Princess; a legitimate issue is the show's strange stance in strangely not acknowledging Alicorns and side-stepping around them as a race (e.g. Cadence is a "unicorn"); it took till Magic Duel for the word "Alicorn" to even be said....It makes me worry that all of Twilight's future growth is simply about who she has become (a Princess), and not what she has become (an Alicorn)....I imagine you can have one without the other, but I would be supremely disappointed if this transformation doesn't lead into massive expansion and development on this third race.
