Well it's always been my interpretation that Alicorn magic is sort of a combination of the three pony tribe's abilities into a single being, which is them amplified as they are in connection with every aspect of their society's lifestyle and nature. It's almost like the Alicorns are directly able to harness their power from the world itself, which means it's amplified and more powerful, and more than likely means that their unicorn version of their magic is no longer limited to their special talents as much. Luna and Celestia have both been depicted casting spells that their talents would not allow them to if they were unicorns, such as transformation for Luna, and magic energy beams for Celestia. As their talents have been mentioned as literally raising the sun and moon, this theory kinda works. I dunno. ;P
