Well the closest thing we saw to a pony wielding a sword (I think) was jousting with a lance, and those don't do any real damage. While we did see a villain get magically vaporized in the show. If they can do it to King Sombra and Nightmare Moon (in the comics, the show was more subtle with her), why not Chrysalis? What does she have above them?

Though that does sound ironic seeing as how much of it is based off Lord of the Rings, whose primary weapons are swords
