Evidently, he could not. This means that there is some aspect to the magic stealing ability that was never explained in the show. Possibly, it only works on beings who are weaker than him. In which case, that would explain why he took so long to become a threat after his escape in It's About Time - He had to take a long time attacking very weak ponies to build up his base power.

On the subject of his escape, does anyone else think that someone let him loose by luring Cerberus away from Tartarus? I wonder who that could be?
