Yeah, that’s true. But she said it’s a spell she made up. Remember, she can alter and combine spells. So she might have mixed in a couple elements from the age spell with a few other things to make it look and feel like they regressed in age, but not actually doing so. Ergo, making a new spell.
Edited
My guess is that one just can’t pull a spell out of the ether I’d you don’t know it. I imagine it’s possible for more than one pony to write the same spell.
This part was both cute & sad.
And yeah, it seemed like an illusion spell to me too.
And that’s the problem. People just straight up make assumptions after their first viewing and just stick to it. I mean, there are two factors to take in. One, both spells are casted completely differently (One needs a scroll and one can just be blasted on someone). And two, Starlight said she made up the spell. How can she make up a spell that already exists? You can’t reinvent the wheel.
As for where do Starlight’s hair ties came from when she transforms, I guess that comes from the illusion.
To be fair, most people assume it’s an age spell because it’s presented like one. It’s just that you only realize that it probably isn’t one when you think about it after the fact.
Here’s the real question: where do Starlight’s hair ties come from when she transforms into a filly? Because she doesn’t wear her hair in bunches as an adult.
Good point, if it was age regression he should have kept wearing the same thing (unless Starlight’s spell also accounted for that).
That’s what I thought when I first saw this moment. But for some reason, everyone jumps to the age spell conclusion.
It certanily wasn’t an age spell. it’s most likely an illusion spell. Sunburst’s cape would’ve been remained if it was an actual age spell.
How many kites and butterfly posters do you have?
I have way more plushies than that in my room, including a Starlight plushie, so does that mean I’m not an adult?
This, exactly.
Yeah, there’s an immense tragedy to Starlight the more you think about it.
Um, no. Again, I’m just talking about her basic insecurity and immaturity. For the most part, Starlight is shown to be kind of timid when dealing with others and terrified of getting hurt again. I see that as more arrested development than anything else. For whatever reason, she had only one friend in childhood — whose loss was devastating — and clearly didn’t have a supportive family to compensate. There’s always this sense of desperation about her, and her need to use magic to hold her world together because she still feels weak and helpless.
You make it sound as though she’s liable to get groomed. It’s not unheard of for adults to get groomed, though, but still.

Ok brony (sorry I just had to lol). Yeah I guess it could be I just would love to see twilights face when she used the spell lol
your current filter.Plus Sunburst says he didn’t want to “pretend” to be a foal. It wouldn’t have been pretending if he was actually aged back to his foal body would it? Could be subjective I guess.
I can see that.
@A Non Man
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I mean, it has to be. Not only was she able to turn them back despite being a “kid” but the scenery changed too. I don’t think Starlight’s able to turn a castle made from the Tree of Harmony into a simple house. I dunno, I think it was a simulation too.
It’s not certain it’s actually an age spell, is it? It might just be a really elaborate illusion and transformation spell. If she actually made them little kids, wouldn’t she lose the ability to turn them back?
Although Starlight is definitely one of the highest level unicorns. She could magically fight an alicorn to a stalemate, remember?

@MegaAnimationFan
Oh, certainly. But a moment of thought should have told her that just suddenly turning an adult into a little kid without warning probably wouldn’t go over well.
I kind of love Starlight, but I really suspect that sad little kid is still inside of her and frequently calls the shots.
Edited
To be fair, she’s not that bad anymore. I mean, here she was mature enough to undo everything once she saw that Sunburst wasn’t having fun. But I see what you mean. She’s learning though :)
Edited
I meant in terms of her emotional immaturity and her lack of impulse control. She panics and then comes up with a grandiose magical scheme to force the world to conform to what she wants, as opposed to seeing the other person’s point of view.
I see her as the world’s oldest eight year old.
