@sonicwave, most unicorns are limited to magic related only to their talents. Physically, typically Earth Ponies and Pegasi are also more robust. They have to train themselves, study hard and learn how to bring the magic out of themselves.

So not every Unicorn will get that powerful and most seem to end up basically only knowing a few spells with levitation being the most common. For a unicorn who knows not much more then the basics of magic, this won't excel them much higher then a Earth pony. Certainly 90% of unicorns so far aren't on par with Twilight Sparkle.
