Failsafe Spells
Twilight Sparkle attempts to use a what she calls a failsafe spell of some sort to fix everything in Ponyville from chaos, which of course doesn’t work. I have mild curiosity over the dynamics of such a spell and it’s intended purpose, like, maybe Twilight made it if she messed up in some sort of big way jugging by it’s name.

The Element of Magic’s Power Boost
It seems like the Element of Magic gives Twilight Sparkle a power boost when she has it on, at least when her friends aren’t discorded. Her magical shield leaving a area of normal grass in the checkerboard landscape and her magic being able to pull Discord’s grip on the other five elements. There is all of little things I wonder about this power boost and it’s limitations. Stupid question: had she cast the failsafe spell at that moment, would it have worked against chaos in a local area?

Twilight Not Using Magic
Twilight didn’t use magic at certain instances when it would’ve been convenient. Especially glaring with Tom, she has lifted heavier than Tom.

The Discorded and Mythology
I could still go on the mind control angle here. In a lot of traditional myth and religious thought, from vampires to the demonic, it is YOU who is enticed and let X bad paranormal creature have control over you and this fits save Twilight and Fluttershy for aforementioned reasons.

Discorded Apple Family
These are the only other ponies whom we see discorded outside of the main characters. Granny and Big Mac. Was it corruption? Just Discord messing with the Apple family harder? Just a by product of being in that world? I am so curious!
