Nobody ever gives Necromancy the respect it deserves.
 
Case in point, Celestia has banned it, even though nopony was trying to do it and it lies beyond the reach of regular unicorn magic.  
She has a phobia of the undead.

Since the Beginning  -

All alicorns began as unicorns, but what separates them out as candidates for princesship is an inherent, unconscious talent for dark magic. Becoming an alicorn provides an enormous an enormous boost to a ponies capacity for light magic, which hopefully balances them out a bit a gets them to avoid doing stuff like necromancy. This is why Celestia uplifted Twilight and Cadance, she feared what they would do if the only way to solve a problem was to throw as much magical power at it as possible and tap into the darkness.
 
Branching from this, if Twilight wasn’t made a princess she would eventually have found that her true talents lay in necromancy.

Except that He Isn’t. Star Swirl Is more like his era version of twilight. Sombra may know alot of spells, but not as much as Twilight and most of them are crystal related. He may be ten steps ahead of alicorn twilight but power doesnt equal how much spells he knows.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

@PonyPon  
Most are.
 
Well, they have one big trick. Since it’s connected to their special talent in some way, it seems to be either the kind of magic that they are literally talented at, or the most interested in. They can learn other kinds of magic, it’s just that they aren’t as good at it, or aren’t as interested, so they just don’t put forth the effort. Stuff like levitation and the flashlight spell seems to be easy enough and useful enough for everyone to pick up.
 
But the tricks… At the low end, Rarity can find jewels, which gives her easy access to vast wealth, and at the high end, Shining Armor can make a shield that can cover an entire city.
 
Even assuming that there are only a handful of unicorns with tricks as powerful as Shining Armor’s shield at any one time, that still gives them a vast advantage over the other races.

@gasmaskangel  
Most unicorns aren’t all that powerful, but some spells seem to be pretty easy. Rarity was able to improvise a weather spell without warning or practice, so groups of unicorns can fight back against the big weapon of the pegasi.
 
More importantly, some unicorns have access to a very extreme magic. While Twilight’s abilities as a powerful generalist are extremely rare, there unicorns with a magic like Shining Armor’s city shielding spell. Just one unicorns with a power like that is a complete game changer. A few unicorns, each with a different strong spell, would be a nightmare to face.
 
Hell, Sombra was able to rule the Crystal Empire with an iron hoof through the power of his crystal control magic. One unicorn. One spell.
 
One spell that Celestia and Twilight know, but Cadance likely does not… Interesting.

Pretty sure that applies to all spell casters in all mediums. (seriously, they should have just called in a sniper team to deal with Voldemort)
 
@SeraphimDawn  
For filthy, filthy reasons. Also maybe the amount of fine control unicorns are capable varies from individual to individual, so while yeah maybe all unicorns can lift stuff, but not all of them could thread a needle with it.

But the basic levitation alone is a tremendous advantage for unicorns over the other races. They can handle dangerous things like hot iron, corrosives, and electrical things without tools or even touching and even contaminating them.  
Why would Lyra give that up for human hands?

A depressing amount of unicorn spells can be countered by throwing something reasonably large in it’s path. Or, failing that, at the caster.

That headcanon isn’t crazy. Its not crazy at all!
 
I believe it was actually stated in the show itself that most unicorns only know a few bits of magic related to their special talent (such as Rarity’s gem finding spell). So yes, that is a totally reasonable headcanon and not crazy at all.
 
Here’s a proper crazy headcanon:
 
Rarity’s weapon of choice is a silk scarf that she uses to telekinetically strangle her foes. After all she doesn’t want to get blood everywhere! That would make a frightful mess.
 
Edit: which is why she made sure she had more than one scarf when they went to deal with the dragon! She was planning on killing it all along, just underestimated the width of its neck is all.

Very few unicorns are as powerful as Twilight and the princesses. All unicorns are capable of performing magic but only a few are very skilled at it. It takes years of education and practice to be a very powerful unicorn. The most basic trick that unicorns can do (and one of the first ones they learn as a foal) is telekinesis and most are only limited to picking up objects like pens, cups, books, small tools etc. It takes a lot more skill and magic to pick up heavier objects (like huge boulders). Spells like teleportation, phasing through solid objects, force fields, etc. are limited to the highly skilled unicorns which only make up about 30% of the unicorn population.
 
This became my headcanon after I have noticed many bronies boasting that unicorns are a lot better than pegasi and earth ponies as well as many people making unicorn OC’s who’s magic capabilities can compete with Princess Celestia. (It shows your OC doesn’t have to be an alicorn to be a Mary-Sue.) I also highly doubt that all or even most of the unicorns in MLP are as powerful as Twilight or Celestia. The same applies to pegasi and earth ponies with their respective abilities. Most unicorns are not as powerful as Twilight, most pegasi are not as fast or agile as Rainbow Dash, and most earth ponies are not as strong as Applejack.
