‘Wild’ implies that it can’t be controlled. As in, it does whatever the fuck it wants. Now, stop being a bitch and sit in the corner, your stupiding up my internet.

@Fanloser  
Seems a tad ironic considering what you’re defending.

@Mayojar77  
Or you’ll just keep using that incredibly lame excuse of “wild magic”, which seems like a total ass-pull of an excuse, to cover your sorry ass.

@Fanloser  
Calm. Down.
 
Now, let’s look at this again.  
We know that the Elements are physical manifestations of the virtues of friendship. We know that their magical power can be harnessed to restore harmony. We know that they were used by Celestia to banish Nightmare Moon and that they were used by Luna and Celestia to petrify Discord.  
That’s not much, but it’s a bit.
 
Now, let’s look at the change-destiny-spell.  
We know that it was designed by Starswirl the Bearded, but never completed.  
Aaaaaaaand… that’s it. Not much info, really.

@Fanloser  
They are wild magic. Like the Everfree. You can’t make it do anything. They decide what happens. You’re likening incredibly powerful magical artifact with intelligence to a rhyme written on millennia-old paper. Do you not realize how wrong you are?

@The_Mungoman  
No, no they were not. What they do changes every time they are used on screen and their origins are unknown, yet no one questions it, but the one spell that has a known origin, a clear, constant cause and effect result, and even uses the EOH, apparently demands an explanation. You people are just fucking hypocrites.

@Mayojar77  
Oh, cut him some slack.  
It’s perfectly legit to ask questions about the Elements. It’s just that they were waaaaaay better explained than that clusterfuck of a spell in MMC.

@Fanloser  
No, those are already well defined as something that does those kind of things.
 
You’re just being butthurt over the fact that you can’t understand wild magic.

@Mayojar77  
I said since SEASON ONE, i.e. the ELEMENTS OF HARMONY.

@Fanloser  
What are you talking about?  
The Crystal Heart? It was explained as a focal point for all the positive energy in the crystal empire. Get your facts right.

@The_Mungoman  
Okay then, why is it that when it comes to biggest magical mcguffin since season one continues to go unexplained, nobody cares, but when this one spell does the same thing, people lose their collective shit and demand an explanation.

@Bronitarian  
Because all of the stuff you’ve listed is not crucial to the plot.
 
Yes, it’d be nice to see all that cleared up, but we don’t need to.  
The change-destiny-spell requires explanation though, because without explanation the plot collapses in on itself. And the fact that even the writers have no idea, makes this even worse.

@Bronitarian  
Because none of those things are important to the premise of the show as the Magical Mystery Macguffin was.

@Bronitarian  
It’s one of those things that affect the story in a very significant way and has the added aspect of not being simple enough to just accept as is.

Okay…so where’s the detailed explanation for all the other stuff in the show? Like Pegasus weather manipulation powers? Or unicorn magic? Or where equestria is, if it’s a country or a continent? How big is it? Why can some animals talk and others can’t? Why do farms still exist? How do ponies use objects without opposable digits? How do alicorns work? Where are celestia’s and luna’s parents? Are they the real monarchs or is there a king and queen? What happened to the other draconaques’s? Where do griffons come from? How does the everfree forest work?
 
With everything in the show pretty much being made simply for the sake of making an interesting subject of talk, even back in season 1, why is it that this is being made to have a higher level of scrutiny than everything else in the show?

All these comments reminds me of this.

@bboifatz  
To tell you the truth…no not really. :P

@King Sombra  
Even I am too tired of this issue to go on about it anymore, at least for now. What else is there to say that hasn’t been said already until the next bomb gets dropped?
 
Yeah, I bet ya didn’t expect to see ME of all people to say that. :P

@Background Pony @Splinter17  
The statement refers to something that happened first season, when Word of Faust was still directly applicable. Celestia did give Twilight the dragon egg with no idea why she did it or what would happen when she did, other than because it seemed right to do then. Period.
 
As the other BP said, it still hasn’t been contradicted by any other canon in newer eps. You can of course believe otherwise, but without it being directly contradicted by newer canon, it’s pure speculation on your part. So you’re inventing drama over a problem that’s all made up in your own head.
 
Which I’m not complaining about. I love alicorn drama. Just an observation.

@Princess♠Molestia  
Fighting the useless battle for the uselessness.

People are still arguing about this?

@Splinter17  
She left to try to get Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls off the ground.

@Background Pony  
According to Word of Faust, Celestia and Luna were the only alicorns in the world, no exception. Then Cadance came along. This, combined with Faust leaving the show, makes Word of Faust dead as a dodo.

@Background Pony  
I suspect you’re in the minority on that Word of Faust thing, but it’s your right to believe that if you want. As for it being headcanon, so is every other explanation; unless you can show where this one is unreasonable or contradicts actual canon, I see no reason why someone couldn’t believe it.
 
Though I suppose this comment is tl;dr for you as well.

@Ferrotter  
tl;dr version: Headcanon with outdated Word of Faust mixed in(WoF became obsolete the instant Cadance showed up.)
