He'd been testing Fluttershy to see how far he could push her and probably concluded as a result that she would probably break her promise not to use her Element on him if he was maliciously mean enough to innocent ponies. So, he's been playing a long game to take the Elements out of circulation and try to sow discord amongst the Six or even eliminate them.

Maybe he was the one who planted that lethal enchanted comic book on Spike in Power Ponies? Maybe all of Three's A Crowd was an attempt to kill Twilight and frame it as an accident? Maybe he's been behind these very specific events that seem to have been intended to tempt the Six to either abandon their Element or abuse it for personal gain?
