So… it looks like Twilight fucks up a spell. Does this mean that the “Twilight fucks up a spell, hilarity ensues” fanfic cliche is canon?

Wasn’t Twilight trying to change an Apple into an Orange earlier this season? It seems Twilight is quite accident prone with her magic. :V

Oh snap! Stop playing with me Twilight!

Wait a sec…
 
Twilight couldn’t make a cutie mark spell on Apple Bloom in COTC, remember? How can she perform one now?
 
Either she has to become an alicorn to perform this, or she already has alicorn tier powers by this point. :/

I guess this is the closet we’re getting to a body swap episode, huh?

name one character that could change destiny itself… from games, movies, animes…

Chubbies did it first!! :V

Makes me think of this guy from summoner wars actually…  
 
“No one is quite sure exactly what the Seer is, but Rallul took him in at Mundol’s advice. The Seer has had an easy time finding his niche within the company, though many find the odd proportions and strange angles of his body unsettling. Indeed, many have even questioned whether the Seer is masculine or feminine, or whether either term applies to people of his race. The type of magic the Seer employs also sees heavy speculation. Some have tried to claim it is a type of chronomancy, and that the Seer manipulates the fabric of time. Still others have argued it is a more elegant form of psychomancy. The truth is more grotesque however, for the Seer does not practice magic so much as vampirism, feeding off the stolen destinies of his victims and extending his own path to glory.”
 
Yeah, sorry for the massive text dump, but that’s what it reminded me of all of a sudden.

Looks like Twilight’s destiny is to create new spells and magic. I like this idea.

Looks like the alicorn apocalypse has been averted for now and replaced with a different cataclysm.
 
Things are getting interesting.

Twilight should know better than to mess around with fate-warping magic. Responsible magic user my arse.

Gotta say, as soon as I saw this on tvtropes, I was like “Holy SHIT Twi, that’s some serious magic.”

The potential this episode has is incredible though, imagine a farmgirl Rarity? A timid Pinkie? Hyperactive party animal AJ? Fashionista RBD? A Sonic the Hedgehog Fluttershy?

I think it was only established that you couldn’t give somepony their cutiemark.

Well, this certainly blew all expectations out of the water.

@Background Pony  
She couldn’t use her magic to give Apple Bloom a cutie mark, in any case, at least not back during Season 1.
 
But maybe Twilight was mistaken, and magic can indeed go farther than she thought.

@Background Pony  
They can’t use magic to create cutiemarks, but apparently switcheroos are legit.

@Background Pony
 
That was when Twilight was weaker.  
But now, she’s probably 10 times more powerful than before.

This makes no sense. It has been established that magic cannot be used to change someone’s cutie mark, hasn’t it?

Must watch…

Does this count as a body swap episode?

This is…highly intriguing, I must admit. I mean that in a good way…though I am worried (going by the leaked images, mind you) that it may end the season with a bit of a downer…but, as usual, I’ll take a wait-and-see approach before rushing to judge

Okay. Now I believe the princess coronation stuff is actually the 60 minute tv-movie that’s been rumored to exist.

@Background Pony
 
Well, that IS the whole point of the Cutie Marks.

If this wasn’t just by accident i would say: Well played HUB.
