Ironic. Sombra sought to destroy the source of their power, but in fact guaranteed that they would ALWAYS have it with them.

It’s possible that Tirek’s magic drain involves his magic ‘latching onto’ a pony’s magic and dragging it back to him (which would make sense if his method relies on runes) - that would explain why the color of magic he absorbs is always the same.
That’s the thing. In use. Rainbow is surrounded by a flashy rainbow when she goes into a rainboom, but her wings aren’t constantly glowing. It could be that the elements are just massive stores of chemical magic, which doesn’t have access to emotions without a bearer. Magic without emotions is inert.
Invisible? Maybe but that leads to the question why it would be despite their powers in use being the flashiest most visible thing in the series? Inactive? Wouldn’t their magic going to new vessels be/require they be active (every magic transfer of this magnitude has required such)?
Now, I would say that’s an interesting position - but the image at the top of this ‘theory image’ is from the start of the beginning of the end, and the image at the bottom is from the same episode. Such a massive change suggests that the transfer happened inbetween those moments, surely?
Check what happens with the actual gemstones. EVERYTHING channels through magic - Twilight does that now
The elements needed to be sure they were true friends.

The elements were also colourless back then - it’s possible that they had lost their magic earlier. A better theory: It’s also important to note that the Tree of Harmony’s chamber (especially with Sombra in there as well) may be more magic-saturated than the abandoned castle of the two sisters - maybe the environment just made the formation of gemstones harder than just clinging to a nearby pony? The rocks which could have formed gems when exposed to raw magic could have done so long ago?
Something, something, they didn’t embody them strongly enough then?
And it’s a safe bet, that’s how twilight is going to look in the finale.
