It seems that in most fiction that deals with magic, it tends to be fueled by one's emotional state. The stronger one's feelings are, the more powerful the magic is. Emotions connected with friendship would seem to be more powerful because they could use the power together. Negative emotions would produce just as powerful magic, but you'd be using it against everyone around you including those who could be your allies. Even the sirens in Rainbow Rocks, dispite being corrupt, were using friendship within their own group to fuel some of their magic. It was just a matter of strength in numbers that they were defeated: 7 vs. 3.
