Plus, going a bit further down that track, we've actually seen anger as magical fuel too, though in Starlight's case only in the form of it being bottled up. If she willingly chose to rely on that emotion to fuel her magic _*all the time_*, well, the results could be pretty crazy.


 
I rather like the idea that the emotion you focus on while casting magic influences you as the caster, like jealousy for Luna when she became Nightmare Moon. With that in mind, emotions like grief, fear, and hatred could be downright disastrous.
