At first I feel like twilight's magic was more of a plot device, just something that could get the ponies into or out of situations they couldn't otherwise, like in sonic rainboom when she cast the cloud walking spell so the ponies could go see rainbow dash compete. Occasionally her magic would even make things worse like in winter wrap up, when she caused the snowball. At the end of the episode she said she realized that her other skills,, like being organized were the most help, not her magic. Then the story changed and focused more and more on twilight and how great her magic was, this was shown slightly in boast busters, but got worse as the episodes went on, and begin to show twilight's magic as the savior of ponyville and equestria, instead of the ponies unique traits and talents, which is what saved it in the beginning. Let's not forget that the 5 elements had to be present for the sixth to appear, which was twilight's 'most powerful element' magic. If it wasn't for the spirit of the other ponies, twilight wouldn't even have her element, and if Twilight had her way they never would have become friends in the first place. I feel like the writers  have forgotten the original ideas that Lauren Faust had when she started the show(these ideas were from a rebuttle Faust posted in Ms. magazine, I am not just puilling them out of my a**):

1. not all girl's want to be princesses (now twilight's ulitimate destiny is to become a princess, when she was originally a neurotic, bookish librarian? facepalm)

2. their are many different ways to be a girl (nope the only way you can shine is by being the most powerful and the biggest show-off)

3. we all have our own talents that make us special (unless your twilight, you're not special, you're just a wing pony so to speak)

this is why I don't like the whole Alicorn Twilight thing, I just thought I would present my point of view, it's not just that I don't like twilight as a character. I'm somewhat of a bookish girl who cherishes alone time, much like twilight, so I did really want to identify with and like her. I feel like their is alot of flaming going on so I just wanted to calmy and elequently express my feelings.
