Good to know!  
Albeit I would not consider Sweetie Belle to be using a haste spell there, she just ran.
 
She have her horn alight when she ran:  
full  
She does not use telekinesis at this point, so she uses at least SOME spell here. (and “Accelero” is a spell that exist in FiM)

I am interested! I’m currently waiting on the release of the clipshows though. I feel the immersion will be best if i’m remembering it with nostalgia also… But yes, I plan on rewatching all nine seasons + specials + movie (+EQG) at some point. Main outcome i’m looking for is how long the show lasted in-universe, but i’m always interested in magic.
 
Screencaps may take a lot of effort, but I can catalogue the episode number, unicorn and spell used easily enough. Albeit I would not consider Sweetie Belle to be using a haste spell there, she just ran.
 
I will have some analysis to post about before anything else though. Particularly the vague molecular structure of what is called “magic” (charged core, absolutely massive structure which allows intermolecular binding to other magic molecules in a string. Still gaseous, but connected strongly between, say, the unicorn’s horn and the object they are levitating. Explains why tugging on the object tugs the unicorn, and fits my estimates that magic has a RIDICULOUS molecular weight.) and how Grogar’s bell seems to store magic. The rune structure seems to tell much. I also have another theory for rune interpretation, how the cockatrice stare works etc.

ThePonyTheorist: Hi! Are you up to rewatching all nine seasons + specials + movie? I’m interested in:  
  1. The list of all Unicorn/Alicorn spells that were cast in G4. Preferably with screencaps, episode numbers, and unicorns that performed it  
  2. Mentioned limitations of unicorn magic  
  3. Analysis based on 1) and 2). What potential spells are possible, what they would be called, what spells are not possible, and why. What spells average fillies/colts know, what are common to know for adults, and what spells only Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns graduates would know, and what spells only magical prodigies would know. For common spells, what is strength for fillies/colts vs common adults vs graduates vs prodigies (for example, mass for telekinesis, or number of independently moving objects for telekinesis, how far light reach for light spell, etc).
     
    There were several attempts here: >>1061840 , and here: https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Magic#Unicorn_ponies , but they missed some spells, like TS using phasing spell: >>611059 , and SB using haste spell: >>1713918 , and others.
     
    P.S. That goes for everybody that are willing to make compilation of magic used.

It's bad. In a good way!
They never call it elemental magic, but I like the pun there. It is however too confusing to call it that. There is a clear distinction though and you got it right. I wonder if Twilight will ever figure out how to use the OP powers of Friendship to power her everyday spells, rather than using it to just fire a death laser. I wonder if a non-unicorn could end up learning to cast spells using friendship.
