Talk:Sunset Shimmer/@comment-10390252-20170530100408

I think that Sunset's brief scene in Equestria was fascinating on many levels. It answers several questions and gives the character of Sunset Shimmer a new depth.

Firstly, it confirms what was implied strongly in Legend of Everfree: Yes, she does miss her magic to the point where, when she used her telekinesis, it was clearly a bit of a high for her. However, it is interesting how quickly she tried to find an excuse to go back to the human world. From this, I can only conclude that she likes it there and that, for whatever reason, the unavailability of her magic is a price that she is willing to pay.

That said, it will be interesting if Starlight Glimmer, talented spellcrafter that she is, is able to teach Sunset to use the power of the Element of Empathy to perform some limited (or possibly unlimited) magic. There is a strong indication that the girls can now Pony Up on demand and there is strong evidence that they can access their pony counterparts' racial capabilities when doing so.
