Snails could have a good reason for be because the theory of him being capable of time speed magic, making the time slow around him because his natural talent could be he could see everything in slow-motion, while I'm surprised about Snips, and Dinky was there, and Celestia explaining about Pinkie Pie has her magic this would make a lot of sense.
But Snails uses the magic of... um...
the heck???
...
Cool
Maybe it's a special charity class for Ponyville residents?
It kind of looks like an animation test - make something short to get used to your new tools, that sort of thing?
So this confirms that ponies can see magical auras, which means Twilight was pants-on-head retarded for not noticing that her beloved practically-a-sister Cadance had evil green hornglow during the wedding.

Or something to set up for the upcoming movie or something.

The classroom animation looks more movie-ish, I think. And it's obviously meant as, like, supplementary material. Kind of.
Actually, I'm not sure it's obviously anything. c.c wtf
Snips and Snails are clearly under royal supervision after the last time they nearly summoned Lavan the All-Smelter.
(It was actually Dinky. Only she and Celestia know.)

They summoned Dinky? Dayum, that's advanced mageworking there.
I love it, especially this late in the summer. Much better than the eqg things. It would actually get me to try out the show.

You mean you haven't seen the show yet? :O What are you doing here? :V
Oh my, a Celestial episode and trailer! Yay!!!!!
Looks like the B-team discovered the Find Edges filter in AE. A training exercise for new animators, or some guck from a disassociated marketing team maybe? Really, most of this is re-used clips with a filter slapped over them. Celestia's hinky walk across the classroom is a dead give-away.

That's not entirely new. "For once I wish that unicorn magic wasn't so luminescent" -- Rarity, "Gauntlet of Fire". However, I don't think we've had explicit confirmation that ponies can see the auras' colours, just that they can tell the difference between "on" and "off". That might be a way out of the Cadenza problem.

....Why are you on a horse site again?
On a side note, I'm really not liking how Celestia was animated. It kinda feels like a bunch of stock motions stitched together.

In today's video, Celestia mentioned "the signature color of our magical auras." So not only do ponies see the color of their auras, they serve as a signature -- i.e. an identifying attribute. Seems weird that the Element of Magic didn't notice Cady's magic changing color.

Ah. I hadn't seen the video (beyond a few seconds) at the time of writing. Yay, my headcanon gets destroyed almost instantly once again! (And yeah, of course it's stupid to comment on this without having watched it properly. I do stupid things, quite frequently in fact. :P )

[If I hadn't already]. I'm just saying it's a good ad!
It is decidedly two minutes long. Other than that... dunno.
4655246
4655275
Yeah, I think that's exactly what it is.

All I know for sure is that Celestia picked Starlight for her example of dark magic, thus proving Starlight is evil. :V

I wouldn't put it past Chrysalis to use a subtle Jedi mind trick sort of thing regarding her aura.
There is no end to the incredible feats that you can achieve.
Like being magical unicorn lesbians. :starlightshiftright:
Snips and Snails are there because their parents donated a metric ton of money.
This... was actually pretty cool. The animation was a tad rough, but for a short, it was pretty great, and had some cool bits of information. Also confirms that all magicians in Equestria are more Wizards than Sorcerers, if you get my meaning.
