After that screencap that comparison image showed, on Twilight's part, it grew _*much_* bigger than that.


 
Why would Cozy Glow benefit _*that_* much more from being boosted by Grogar's bell than either Chrysalis and Tirek, who were both included in the boosting ritual, and who're probs more powerful to start with, and Tirek didn't have his "4th form" appearance, after?


 
If anything, it's indicative of Cozy being the type to let the power get to her head and wantonly throw her newfound weight around, revel in it, like a proverbial baby rattlesnake (I say "proverbial" because IIRC that's a myth, but you get the point). Not to mention how Twilight had shielded one of her attacks earlier without any real difficulty, which doesn't add up with "4 alicorns strong."

%As for something that came to mind, if a fight between Alicorn Cozy and Sombra hypothetically happened, I'd put my money on Sombra, because at _*best_*, Cozy's a little more powerful than he is, but his repertoire is larger, her being as new to casting magic as she is, and I'm not sure she could do anything at all to counter his fear/mind control magic, or him turning his body into a living shadow, and his crystals... Sombra's rather dangerous.~% But anyway, I don't think you can conclusively say "Cozy Glow is definitely more powerful than Sombra was," at all.


 
It's like saying "Starlight is definitely > four alicorns" based on when she blasted Discord in AMOP, when she lost to Sombra (who was beaten by Celestia and Luna), and Chrysalis (this two-parter), and was plainly less powerful than Cozy Glow (the latter beat her in a beam struggle, this two-parter, you can see from the briefly portrayed fight).

%Now _*granted_* power levels don't **actually** mean a lot at all in this show, as portrayed, but I think the point stands regardless~

If you'll recall, it was actually a plot point that Cozy Glow and the others couldn't get Celestia and Luna's magic out of the bell, because Discord's magic was problematic to deal with, and the Bell operates under the rule of "first in, first out" And you can conclusively see that Cozy Glow didn't get the Royal Sisters' magic when they got their magic back from Discord returning it to them from the Bell, _*not_* from Cozy (or the other two) losing her powers from the Gigantic Rainbow Laser.
