@Jonny Manz

Your theory sounds very nice! Thanks for pointing me to it. Indeed, I just rechecked Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1 where Princess Celestia expressly says:

"Tirek has stolen enough magic that he now has the strength to steal flight as well."

- Princess Celestia in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1

This does seem to imply that flight would not just be a physical capability (and neither would be the Earth ponies' remarkable strength, ironically!).
