Talk:The Crystalling - Part 2/@comment-10390252-20160314132326

A possibility regarding Flurry Heart in this story that occurs to me: Flurry Heart is 'infected' by an overload of magic and this makes her come out an alicorn as well as giving her abnormally early maturity and development for a foal. This leads to a sort of 'future echo' effect where we have an idea of what Flurry will be like when she's the CMCs' age. However, after the crisis passes, her magic levels drop back down to average levels (possibly due to her using up her excess energy by somehow restarting the Crystal Heart) and she regresses back to a newborn foal.

I think that it is too late to undo the mutation that led Flurry to be born an Alicorn (possibly the first in Equestria since Luna) but she will go back to being a newborn once her magic overload is drained away by restarting the Heart.
