For Jonny, Goldenline is making the argument: Triek absorbed Discord Twilight absorbed Luna/Celestia/Cadance Luna and Celestia lost to Discord in the alternative timeline and therefore are weaker Therefore Cadance was enough of a difference to be equal to the difference between Luna and Celestia, and all of the other ponies Triek absorbed.

I am of the opinion that Triek did not absorb all of Discord's power. Or else he would've turned the world into the one out of Discord's alternative universes in a heartbeat.

Perhaps Triek stealing magic gains less magic, than if that magic is freely given. Aesops are sneaky things.
