All ponies have magic. Unicorn magic is "external", and is directly visible seeing as how they are able to levitate objects and perform magic spells. Pegasus magic is not quite so visible, and is instead "internal". Their magic allows them to walk on clouds without some magic spell, and to change the weather. It also allows them to carry an object much heavier than them, even though they have (possibly) hollow bones which allows them to fly, in a similar fashion to the birds. Earth ponies also have internal magic, and it allows them to grow plants and food and to have strength. Alicorn magic is all three pony races mixed together; their unicorn magic allows them to levitate objects and perform magic spells, their pegasus magic allows them to walk on clouds and change the weather, and their earth pony magic allows them to be (physically) strong and to grow plants and food.
