This also explains the "golden etheral wings" (& horn) of Sunny [she is "special"... but not really].
. When the Unity Crystals™ reactivated magic, Sunny´s mere proximity to them supercharged her dormant recesive genes.
-> ANY other pony with bloodlines coming from the same ancient ancestors of Starswirl, Twilight Velvet, ( ~%any other "highest_level_unicorn"~% ), etc... would had also "reawoken" their "hidden potential" of becoming an alicorn [like Cozy Glow, who always had the "horn" gene on top of her pegasus wings].
