My guess is that the 'bad influence' pony is Trixie. She basically torments Starlight, telling her that she's the only 'unconquered foe of Twilight Sparkle' and this provokes Starlight into doing something stupid to prove that she is a capable mage. Meanwhile, Trixie (knowing that she needs to be able to have the means to cash the cheques her mouth is writing) starts searching for a way to demonstrate the scale of her power to Starlight.

The result may be 'Magic Duel Mk2' but it might also turn out to be a comedy of errors and ending with the two of them laughing it up at their strange new mane-styles in the middle of a crater that their interacting spells created.
