The Alicorn Amulet: Breaking it Down Analysis. It's NOT what you really think it is. · 3:47am Dec 26th, 2016

So what is the real story behind the mysterious and powerful Amulet in "Magic Duel" of the MLP Show?

No one really knows.

But there are many numerous head canons that say that the Amulet is an Element of Chaos/ Disharmony!

(Evil Maniacal Laugh)

And while I support this theory, there is one, well actually many, thing(s) I disagree with.

THE ALICORN AMULET DOES NOT ACTUALLY REPRESENT THE ELEMENT OF DARK MAGIC/ POWER.

(*The crowd gasps in horror and shock and cries out in hate and anger and fury and wrath as I proclaim this statement*)

(Go to approximately 0:17 in the video.)

This is a popular head canon, but one I hope to prove is false, or at least make you think about this in a whole new light.

But let's start from the very beginning/ start.

According to the Episode it grants the wearer with "untold powers", okay, yeah, that sounds a lot like the Element of Dark Magic. but let's move on, I'll be referring to this later on (as Point #1, so keep that in mind).

But it also corrupts the user more and more as they use it more.

Hmmm... Corruption, sounds a lot like what power would do to someone (I mean some pony) that doesn't know how to handle it and wants revenge or holds a grudge or hate or anger or something, but moving on. (Point #2)

Okay, and now unto the thing that will break EVERY Head Canon there ever is, was, or will be.

BUT according to the Episode (and Wikipedia), "The amulet has its limits, as it cannot simply perform  spells that are considered simply impossible,"

WAIT, WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN? (ONE MORE TIME FOR ME, LOUDER THIS TIME.) (Point #3)

That's right, by this ONE SINGLE SENTENCE ALONE, this disproves EVERY Head Canon there is, sorry everyone.

But anyhow if we apply Point #3 to Points #1 and #2, we see nothing really, but if we apply it to the fandom head canon (fanon) then we see that they were wrong all along, again sorry.

Also to use my own logic, if the fanon of the Alicorn Amulet being an Element of Chaos/ Disharmony is TRUE (and let's say for the sake of argument it is), then Points #1 and #2 mean nothing, after all, if we assume that the Elements of Chaos/ Disharmony have an equal and opposite force and power that to the Elements of Harmony [and let's say for the sake of argument, yes that is true because of Newton's Law that every force has an equal and opposite reaction then therefore (theoretically), the Elements of Chaos/ Disharmony must have a power equal that of the Elements of Harmony. #Science #Win #ScienceWin #BecauseScience] then we can assume that ALL of the Elements would give "untold powers" [just like the Elements of Harmony did to the Mane 6, and if you don't believe me then you obviously never have seen the 'Friendship' Rainbow of Death (as I so politely call it with much respect and love and kindness and wonder. #TasteTheRainbow #Skittles #Advertisement #SubtleAdHint #SubtleAdClue #CleverGirls #CleverAdPlacement #CleverAdHint #CleverAdClue)]

Examples of the 'Friendship' Rainbow of Death.

Anyhow your 'logical' guess of the Alicorn Amulet being the one of Dark Magic was a good one (especially off of no evidence, seriously ZERO, and the creators still won't say anything about it at all), but it was wrong, and invalid, again, sorry.

Anyhow despite the fanon being wrong (partially, and also remember, you can't disprove my NEW Head Canon just as much as I can never disprove yours, unless the writers actually come up with a backstory for something or someone or some pony for once, which I would gladly and openly and warmly welcome. #JustDoIt #DoIt #DoItPlease #ForTheFans #ForTheFanBase), there still is room for improvement and fixing it.

Recently I came across two pictures that I found interesting, yet I disagree with some of its points (names and colors mostly).

Here it is.

P#1
P#2

While certain aspects of the pictures I agree with or could be true (note, I could have easily made the pun the 'Elements' of the picture, HAHAHA, thank me for not doing so), I disagree with some of the names and colors.

For example, I agree that the color of Dark Magic/ Power should be and even IS Black, and Betrayal and Deceit/ Deception are the 'good' polar opposites of their Respective Elements of Harmony (Betrayal- Loyalty, Deceit/ Deception- Honesty).

BUT

Here are the problems I found.

1. Many names are wrong. Lust, Jealousy, and Loneliness are NOT the polar opposites of ANY Element of Harmony.

Sure Lust COULD BE an opposite of Generosity, but is it really the best? Greed is better just because it implies no love or affection for something, or at least in another (maybe even less) sense than that of 'Lust'. But either word is goo, I just think Greed is better.

Jealousy is an opposite of what exactly? Humility? Confidence? Satisfaction? None of which are an Element of Harmony, instead it should be maybe Misery or Despair (the polar opposite of Laughter), but I suppose it could also work with Cruelty/ Hatred [and before you ask why (just in case), let me explain. Remember the movie "Rainbow Rocks", right? Well I don't care what you think of it, I just want you to remember what the color the mist was that the Sirens spread HATRED and CRUELTY and ANGER and HATE with, hmmm.. I think that it was... GREEN.]

But Loneliness definitely should be changed to Misery/ Despair.

2. The Colors.

As I said before, while I agree that the Element of Dark Magic/ Power should be Black, here is what the other SHOULD BE and an explanation as of why.

Despair/ Misery- Dark Blue. Because Sadness, opposite of Joy and Laughter.
Greed- Orange. Because of the Green Lantern Comic Series and Animation Shows.
Deceit- Green. Because Reasons.
Betrayal- (Dark) Gray. Because if you have no loyalty then you will not be light or dark, you will be in between and a mix of the two, and since black and white represent darkness and light respectively, therefore the only color that fits is gray, one of no loyalty, one of complete neutrality.
Cruelty/ Hatred- Red, just like the Alicorn Amulet. And that is my theory/ head canon, that the Alicorn Amulet is the Element of Cruelty/ Hatred

Anyhow the REASON I think this is so is because of Point #3, if the Alicorn Amulet COULD NOT perform the 'impossible', it clearly DOES NOT a. EITHER HAVE the magic equal to that of the Elements of Harmony (and before you argue that Twilight Sparkle didn't have it on her, she STILL represents it, therefore your argument is INVALID), or b. IT IS NOT THE ELEMENT OF DARK MAGIC/ POWER (The Most Logical course to follow in this case.)

Anyhow I think that ONLY the REAL Amulet of Dark Magic/ Power could ever hope to match what Twilight Sparkle faked to do.

Anyhow the reason why Red would represent Cruelty/ Hatred (and not Betrayal or something else other) is because in many parts of the world Red is associated with EVIL. For example, in Egypt Red is bad because it represents blood and anger and the desert sand (which frequently rose up in storms and could destroy and kill others, and also by extension storms too as well), and it also is associated with the god Set who just so happens to be the Lord of Chaos, how convenient and very coincidental...

And according to the internet it represents,

"fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love."

And also,

"Red is the color of extremes."

So as you can see Red is not a really good color to be associated with, even if it popular these days (and black as well, because of the night and death and darkness, but more on that later).

And as for Black it is associated with,

"power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery. Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown."

"The symbol of grief."

"black means power and control"

Huh, that's funny, I noticed that POWER just so happened to be right on the top and was repeated, how odd and unusual and coincidental...

(Refer to the "Coincidence, I think not!" Video up below for reference.)

Anyhow that's all for now, I think I have rambled on for long enough now and made my point, well anyways peace out until next time and I hope you enjoyed hearing my thoughts and ideas, and please feel free to comment down below.
