Eh, nah, this was a plot-hole. The writers either forgot about (or decided no one would remember) Tirek stealing Discord’s magic in Twilight’s Kingdom. I’ll give it a pass because it in fact makes more sense that Chaos magic is too unpredictable for anyone other than Discord to control.

It would be like giving someone god powers. They would be stronger but they wouldn’t know how to use it. There’s a term called “too powerful for their own good”.

He just gained strength from Discord’s power when he stole it from Discord back in the season 4 finale. He can’t actually utilize his power.
Even for YOU, Tirek?!!! The ultimate king of soul sucking prowess??! Didn’t you once took Discord’s magic away after you betrayed him at the last second??
To be fair he never used any of Discord’s powers… unless the magical bubbles count.

Are you telling me mana and physical strength are both the same thing?
