There are still 6 elements, correct? I’m thinking that Celestia and Luna were able to wield it by themselves with weaker power. Notice that with the “Mane 6” in control they have not just beaten enemies, but reformed them, which in my mind is a far greater task. Celestia and Luna just beat and banished, no reforming. Why wasn’t Celestia alone able to help Nightmare Moon instead of banishing her to the moon? Why couldn’t Celestia and Luna get Discord to use his magic for good instead of turning him to stone? To me, this says that the elements were not operating at their full capacity. As I mentioned in my videos, even though there were beings whose hearts may have been connected to a specific element, they were not necessarily friends with each other. Twilight did not start out being friends with the other 5. She still had to gain that friendship. By the time Twilight cast Starswirl’s unfinished spell she had already been deemed “ready” by Celestia. She had time to become good friends with the other element holders. When Starswirl cast his spell it looks like Celestia and Luna were the only ones who were “ready”, which would make sense. They are sisters, so they were probably already friends. The rest of them might not have even had the chance yet. If Starswirl waited several more years perhaps things would have been different.
But, that’s all according to my headcanon. We’ll see what happens in season 4 :)
