How it All Works

As the main ruler of this land for the past 1000 years, I have often been approached with many questions to share my vast wisdom. I have however, begun to recieve distant messages from another world. A race known as humans has begun to request my wisdom as to the "ins and outs" of us ponies in a manner of speaking. Well, in order to answer these so-called questions of *ehem* plumbing, I will have to share a small amount of information regarding us ponies. I shall start with a fact that many of you humans out there may not know.

Within all ponies (both my subjects and myself included) there exists magic. Yes, within every single one of us! Now there are those with a very limited knowledge of us ponies who might object to this statement, saying that it is only unicorns like Rarity, or alicorns like my sister and I (also Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadence) who possess magic. This is however, quite untrue. From the earth ponies, to unicorns, to the pegasi who soar above, there exists magic within everypony here in Equestria.

The reason that unicorns and alicorns are able to perform magic (spells and such) is because our horns act as a medium for which we can transfer the magic inside ourselves to the outside world. It more or less works like plugging a cord into an outlet. Our horns act as that chord to carry the magic from the inner source to whatever we need to use it for. This also explains why we get tired after performing many different spells, because we are expending the internal magic in us and using it for different tasks. The magic of other ponies, however, acts in different ways from ours.

For the earth ponies, the magic within them is kept inside and not externalazied. Therefore, it is transformed into great strength and physical energy. Just look upon the strength and speed of my subjects Applejack and Pinkie Pie to know that my words are true. The same is true of pegasi, but instead of intense physical strength, that magic inside of them is converted into their flight and wing power. This does not necessarily mean that unicorns and pegasi can't be strong or fast. it simply means that earth ponies have the upper hand in that department. The reason that my sister and I are known as the most magical ponies in all of Equestria is for the sheer reason that we have wings, enhanced physical strength, and the fact that we can perform many different kinds of magic. And now, on to the awkward part of my explaination. . .
