Magical traits

It seems that ponies and other creatures alike have some magical power. mostly unicorns due to them having actual magic.

Godess/Princess based
it seems that only princess celestia and luna control night and day and only can redeem that much power to.

Earth pony based

 * Earth ponies might be able to hold something without touching them as seen in The Ticket Master as when twilight was far from applejack she was still holding the ticket without her hooves or mouth.

Pegasus based

 * Rainbow dash in the ticket master did a move in her daydream called 'the buckeneer blaze' offscreen, seemingly to create lighting.
 * Rainbow dash also created a sonicrainboom, a rainbow out of thin air from breaking the sound barrier.

Unicorn based
Unicorns have many abilities mostly some of them having to do with their talent
 * Unicorns can hold objects by picking them up, a simple thing
 * unicorn magic might be able to sense the future like in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, rarity's horn let her to a rock full of gems which was broke by the sonicrainboom and led to rarity's cutie mark.
