It's because Magic is not reserved only for Unicorns. They're just "better equiped by Mother Nature" for it. The horns at their foreheads are waveguides for better targeting magical energy, and their coarcting shapes concentrate the energy when it comes out. The forehead is the place where the magical energy flows out from their pineal glands (or "third eye chakra", as Hindu people in ourl world would call it), which is collected there from all of their body through the spine axle, where all those chakras are located. In our world, ancient Hindu people also knew how to use this Magic (AKA living creative force), and they also knew that two intertwined beams of opposite energies (Bright Magic and Dark Magic) are needed to make the full spectrum of light (AKA the rainbow) to be produced (as you can see when the Elements of Harmony are being used).

But when you are out of luck to be born a Unicorn, you can at least try to simulate artificial horn. For example, you can use a crystal placed on the forehead. Crystals are good energy transformers and capacitors. In our world, crystal magic is used for lasers, electronic chips, piezoelectrics and other manifestations of Dark Energy. If you don't have crystal in hand, you can also use a pointed hat, like the magicians did in our world ater the Great Division. Before that event, they were frequently hunting Unicorns and stealing their horns to make artificial horns or other waveguides: magical wands. Legends have it that some of those magical devices are still around somewhere, so if you're lucky, you can try to find them. Or you need to study ancient scriptures, because they contain many informations about Magic and how to use it without being a Unicorn.
