I'll agree to that idea, Ben. The Element of Magic knew that it was being worn by one whose heart was full of greed, avarice, and a lust for power, so it punished Sunset by turning her into a she-demon.

I mean, she was crying as the corrupt magic started to transform her into her she-demon form, so her good self might have shown there, calling for help, before her Dark Side came to the surface.

Then when she tried to barbecue Twilight and the Humane Five, the Element refused to kill its true wielder, and protected them and gave them the power to stop Sunset and redeem her, a la Nightmare Moon.
