Loop 15.
Or at least, I think that is correct. It is hard to tell when losing track of time could take one or two loops without warning. I have completed the tests confirming my hypothesis. The real question is how do I test the correct order of events. From my chair, I can see three possible routes out. Two are fundamentally improbable as of this moment due to the nature of this loop.
The first is to find the correct sequence of events. I am confident if I spend my time wisely, I can accomplish this. I fear what awaits me on the other side however. What will become of me once this loop ends? No matter, I must escape. Living forever in the same time is not in any way productive. My spells and experiments can never leave a singular room.
The second is to kill myself. While I hate to admit it, I fear that may be the only means of escape. But I must prevail in my search. If it turns out to be true, I will have to learn to face it. I will have to learn to let go of this fear that is consuming me at the knowledge of my imminent demise. For it is imminent. Spells I cast to increase my life expectancy fail around me just as the loop resets. I have no doubt if it weren’t for the loop, I would die at the sixth hour.
The final one is to break the connection my horn has to the spell. This in itself is a huge undertaking, and very well may end my life. Either way I move forward, death is there to greet me. I fear it so, and yet I know I have no choice but to accept it. The alternative is to stay in this loop, and I know monotony would eventually eat at me.
Do not mistake my mastery over magic as a hindrance when I say this, but I fear the alarming growth in my magical power with each tick of the loop. What if it continues to grow? What will happen to me? So much uncertainty is hard to keep under tabs as I strive to see if option one is viable as a solution.
But I must try.
So sweetie has rowing magic because of the loop? Maybe tur her into an alicorn once she breaks the loop! For realsi0es, not like the prank.
Honestly the only two real paths are the first or third. Due to the nature of magic, and it not being a truly biologically bound source, Death would just reset her body like that of the tree / her friends (since the loop is anchored in a specific place and time). That and if death were the true option he wouldn't be able to talk to the princeses.
Forgot to post this earlier I think, but I was thinking last night about her having to either Burn off her magic (a temporary depleteing of reserves so that their is no magic to loop), or cutting off her connection to her horn, thus preventing her magic from looping. Both would be very dangerous for a pony of SS's advanced years, as well as ending his life preserving spells. Thus why he lasted long enough to talk to the Princesses. But evn though dangerous. wouldn't kill Sweets (although it'd probably land her in the hospital for a while).
Although I wonder if Twilight and Celestia having a week rather than 6 hrs. per loop might not find a better spell / way. Even using the EoH on Sweets using SS's unfinished spell he made before dying via the trails of escaping the loop. That Twilight perfected.

Princess Sweetie Belle, princess of time loops. Lol!
The constantly growing magic reminds me of an anime, but even to name it would risk spoiling it for some people.
Ok im interested a growing magical force that gets stronger each loop i wonder how sweetie is going to feel after ending the loops because theres no looping charges on magic. So far sweetie is draining magic and gets free rollover in her magi front

I'm so clever :D
No you aren't, shut up.
Here's an idea, So when sweetie is in a room at the time the loop resets, it loops with her, right? so what would happen if she where to sleep outside?
Who knows?
Maybe a wide scale apocalypse could happen as she sucks the magic from everything on the planet that isn't inside?
The apocalypse loop could happen and then reset, potentially giving sweetie near unstoppable power if it happens enough,
