I wanted to start a personal opinion based list on my idea of who has the greatest magical ability in the show. It is a top six list because even though there are a ton of magical users, only few actually stand out. Now, I will go weakest (6) to strongest (1). Now! Let's begin!
1.) Queen Chrysalis, Leader of the Changelings
Okay, I know. I know. Queen Chrys, only had power because of Shining Armor. Yes, I know that. But! People seem to forget, she GAINED enough power to take on and down Princess Celestia. Gained is the magical key word here. If you don't know what I am talking about then let me give you a example. There is a superpower that allows one person to increase the ability and power of another powered person. It works by increasing the power beyond the normally set limits. Some people actually say that she had no magical power before she fed off of Shining Armor.
Well, if so then where did the magical blast come from? She actually had some degree of magical ability, but it just sky rocketed because of feeding off of Shining Armor. So for the main reason that she didn't originally have that full amount of magical ability, is the reason she is the kick off of my list.
5.) King Sombra, Tyrant of the Crystal Empire
Let's see. Well. I do know that he didn't have really any screen time, but it is what he was said to have done that matters. King Sonbra was a unicorn that mastered dark magic. He seemed to be beyond a regular unicorn's normal magic ability. I think of it like this, his magic lasted longer then almost any other character, and I believe for it to still matter a 1000 years later, than it would have to have been indeed powerful. When he knew he would lose to Princess Celestia and Luna, he set a powerful enough spell to set traps in his castle, set a great deal of fear in the Crystal Ponies, and make the Crystal Empire disappear for 1000 years.
Even with that he was still defeated, twice. The reason he was put low on the list.
4 ) Princess Cadence, Master of Love
Princess Cadence is a bit strange to me. She proved to be strong in some ways, but is still weak on the royalty side. Her main area of magic is love magic. In this area, she shown to have great control, and actual reason to use her powers wisely, unlike Twilight Sparkle in Lesson Zero. With her current power, and a speck of help from Shining Armor, she was able to defeat Queen Chrysalis, who was strong at that point. What I mean by "strong at that point" is my theory that QC, might have lost a speck of power when Shining Armor broke free from her control, and she seemed to stop feeding on his love.
In the Crystal Empire, she destroyed King Sombra who was almost completely back at full power. So she did prove some strength to gain her power in royalty.
3.) Princesses Celestia and Luna, The Celestial Sisters
These two were the greatest magic users in the start of the show, until season 2. They are indeed powerful, especially when they had the Elements of Harmony at the beginning of their rule. They were the first magic users to actually move the sun and moon by themselves, while according to Heart Warming Eve, it said that before unicorns, yes, plural, did the cycle. The first of the Alicorns before Cadence and Twilight, they seem to be immoral, both had power to the Elements, had celestial body to mess with, and other things that just haven't been shown yet.
Now I believe that they are both equal at the moment, the reason that neither are above another. They are equal because.they seem to both been weaken. Celestia because of rising the sun and moon by herself, plus other royal duties, and Luna being on the moon, and reweakened when defeated by the Elements of Harmony again, plus losing connection with the Elements.
2.) Discord, Master of Chaos and Disharmony
Discord is very powerful. Everyone and their grandma should be able to see that. His magic wasn't toned down after a 1000 years, weakened, or needed something to become stronger. He ruled Equestria alone. He almost completely defeated the Mane Six and took over again. He knew all about our cast before meeting them, raised the celestial bodies like a pro, and raped the laws of physics. He did everything that the others on this list before him didn't. He had only one real weakness, the Elements of Harmony. That is also the strongest things in Equestria.
The only bad thing was when he first appeared, he was almost completely unstoppable. He lost really because he didn't have the complete knowledge of the greatest magic, friendship. He still is probably struggling with that flaw, even after his reformation. That brings me to the strongest...
1.) Princess Twilight Sparkle, Master of Friendship
Twilight is great and powerful because she did something that Discord, Cadence, and almost everyone else couldn't completely understand or master She qwas the strongest Element, Magic. Her cutie mark is a actual sign of her destiny. I am very sure that within short time, she could probably do things that Discord couldn't, and even wield the Elements of Harmony by herself. She is the strongest because friendship, what the Elements revolve around, is her talent and mastery. The Elements can defeat everyone on this list, if they haven't already.
So, now you see my thoughts and theories. Am I wrong? I could have missed something. but remember, this is all just my opinion. I don't mind hearing what you guys think. I also wouldn't mind if y'all told me what you thought overall, how I did, or any concerns.
By the way, I don't mind opinions, just don't flame. I don't mind other options but no need for arguments.
