That is a good question.

It is quite possible that Cinch may have instructed that, as a former pupil of Crystal Prep, Twilight had no right to come onto the school's grounds. It would then have been trivially easy for her to sieze all of Twilight's work for her own neferious purposes. She only needs a sufficiently intelligent dupe (*coughStarlightGlimmercough*) to turn that research into tools to enable her to give her chosen pupils access to magic and to avenge the humiliation she suffered at the Friendship Games.

I'm wondering if, the next time we see the Shadowbolts, they'll be a League of Evil, willingly or unwillingly using magic for evil at the hidden direction of Cinch and human!Starlight.
