The Essential Handbook says that the dark half of the Pony of Shadows is actually the leftover dark magic of Nightmare Moon feeding on Stygian's anger.

Is this accurate or was it just misinterpreted from what was said in Castle Mane-ia? Had Luna even turned into Nightmare Moon before Stygian became the Pony of Shadows? All we really know is that Luna and Starswirl were both still around when Tirek first came. And you'd think the leftover darkness of Nightmare Moon would come from when Luna was restored as opposed to when she was banished to the moon.
