If alicorn magic is something that must be study and control then shouldn’t I have somepony to teach me how to use my alicorn powers as well instead of figuring it out on my own I wasn’t born a unicorn so don’t I need the proper guidance?! What about your sister Princess Celestia doesn’t she have any knowledge about it she had like 1000 moons to master her powers didn’t she?!
Out of curiosity, you ask Princess Luna how she learned to use her own powers.
Luna: “My powers? As I recall, I was but a filly when my teacher and good friend Star Swirl first taught me how to move the moon and stars in the night sky. My ability to enter the dream realm came to me later, as a gift, along with my cutie mark.”
You tell the princess that you have only recently learned the basics of spellcasting from your own friend, Crystal Charm. However, you were wondering whether you should seek further guidance from an alicorn in order to learn how to use alicorn magic.
Luna: “I do not believe there is anything an alicorn can teach you that a unicorn cannot. But tell me, are you yet capable of levitating objects with your horn?”
You nod, and say that you can.
Luna: “Then you already know how to use alicorn magic.”
You pause to consider this, then ask if it truly is that simple.
Luna: “It is. You are an alicorn. Thus, you possess alicorn magic. When you cast a spell, you are using this very same magic to do so. It may be more potent than a unicorn’s magic, and you may have the ability to cast spells they cannot, but you still must dedicate the time to learn these spells all the same.”
Which is why Twilight Sparkle suggested you start with simple unicorn spells, you reason. With that in mind, you cannot help but wonder what Princess Celestia must have had the time to learn about magic in over a thousand years. Princess Luna smiles in response.
Luna: “My sister was ever more studious than I, but even now after my return, her every day is busier than one may realize. She knows much and more about a great many things when it comes to ruling Equestria, but I am afraid neither of us ever surpassed our old teacher when it comes to magic.”
Honourshine: “… To be fair, Star Swirl the Bearded is the most powerful unicorn wizard in all of Equestrian history…”
The princess nods in agreement.
Luna: “Perhaps he is.”
Speaking of history, a thought creeps into your mind, and you decide to ask whether all alicorns live for so long. Princess Luna shakes her head.
Luna: “No, child. Alicorns are not unlike other ponies in that regard. My sister and I differ, not because we are alicorns, but because we are the guardians of the sun and moon.”
You admit that you feel somewhat relieved to hear this. You are still an ordinary pony, after all. And with enough luck, you hope, a horn and a pair of wings won’t have you mistaken for otherwise.
Luna: “That will depend on the reputation you make for yourself, Trailblazer.”
