The episode seems very akin to Return of Harmony Pt.2. where Twilight singlehandidly saves the Mane 6 one by one until they all band together to save the rest of Ponyville.

And given that the promo shows all of them using the Elements of Harmony on her, we can infer that's the moment she changes...which means it must have happened after they were already saved...except of course for the fact they all had their cutie marks changed even in that promo.

The song seems to be play when everything is being set right again, and the beginning of the song seems to have that moment where Twilight saves someone, as before...What I think happens is

1) Twilight writes her magic using her EOH that saves one of the ponies at a time, ensuing the song. 2) During the song, the Mane 6 are saved one by one, and then moving to the rest of Ponyville. 3) After the song, The Mane 6, their cutie marks restored and in the library, use their Elements on Twilight to restore/cure whatever effects from her spell from her, which have the unexpected result of transforming her.

My guess is, the effects are restored with the EOH...they were kept with Twilight in Ponyville - she couldn't use them all herself, so she took the tiara and, one by one, rescued the other Mane 6 who used their own as well and, altogether, rescue Ponyville...of course, Twilight apparently can't use the tiara on herself, so the Mane 6 zap her which has the unexpected effect of turning her into an Alicorn after the song in a dun-dun-duuuun cliffhanger.

It's possible that Twilight was also effected by the spell which seems interesting...It's possible she wasn't effected by the spell, or the effects were minor enough that she didn't lose her head over it; personally, I don't think she was effected at all...again, I believe the EOH are what save the day, and we see them in the promo which is the song playing...however, the EOH can only be used in tandem with eachother, which forces Twilight to create a spell that allows her own to be used independently, which is the "writing" bit.

And again, when it's all over, the Mane 6 zap Twilight...why? As before, nothing was ever wrong with her and the EOH are used in curative measures (at worse, they seal someone in stone - they seem designed explicitly to avoid harm at all costs)...so Twilight's magic must have had some sort of permanent effect on her which made them want to cure Twilight in order to return her to normal...however, in blasting her, they actually completed her ascension and turned her into a Alicorn.

What do you think?
