I thought the exploration on how the Elements worked could have been expanded more:

-Why are the spells it cast random? When the main six use them, they reform Nightmare Moon. They calcify Discord rather than "reforming" him. I get that you kinda cover your bases with why the elements sent Nightmare Moon to the moon: Celestia and Luna together sent Luna to the moon, and perhaps didn't think about which spell to use in the split-second decision. But the other two things?

-Why was the tree the elements spawned from crystallized? Why did the tree have Celestia's, Luna's, and Twilight's cutie marks on it? How come the tree acts like another "beacon," the way that the Crystal Empire does?

-Why do the elements of harmony start out as common stone balls in the first episode of season one?

-Why would Celestia and Luna both be cut off from the elements if Luna was the one who did the non-harmonious thing? Wouldn't Celestia still have control over 3 of the original elements?

I gave you an up-vote, but I think the concept could really use some expanding. Maybe the next topic would be "why are Celestia and Luna ageless when Cadence has been shown to age like a normal pony?"

So far, all magical explanations focus on Unicorns. ¿What about the magic of the Earthen and the Pegasi?:

The Earthen are very strong, can project magic through their hooves leading to agromancy, bestiamancy, medical applications, the ability to climb up walls as Miss Pinkamena Diane Pie did in Filli Vanilli, and geomancy (Earthbending and Rockfarming).

Pegasi can fly, walk on clouds, and manipulate weather.
