So yeah, I’m thinking this new trick of “channel hatred and fear at things” is a power Princess Celestia’s going to be wanting to keep a lid on.
 
Also, let’s face it, it gives a decent reason not to want to send Princess Luna. I love you sis, you mean the world to me, let’s just not put you in a situation where you’re going to be required to access your reserves of hate and anger for power, hmm?

It’s a universally accepted theory that this use of dark magic will come back to bite Twi in the plot later on: whether it be her turning into an Evil Queen-type figure or making her the prime possession target of a ghostly King Sombra…

Dark magic although powerful isn’t technically evil. It can be danderous to use as someone untrained could easily fall to it’s Dark nature. I doubt Twilight is that well trained, but knowing she can use it means she has the potental for something Grand, be it good or evil.

It really worries me out how easy that was for her.
 
“Oh right, these crystals change when charged with pure malice. Just let me channel a little HATRED AND CRUELTY from the depths of my soul. No biggie.”

What if they tried that the first time, and that’s what trigged Luna turning into NMM?
 
And the nature of the test was to make sure that WOULDN’T happen with Twilight, before they gave her more power?

That makes a lot of sense OP.
 
…What if Hatred and Fear is another leyline of emotional magic, and Sombra was the first to tap into it, gaining his status and going mad in the process?
