Has Rarity ever used attack based Magic in the show? Is it something

>>27547835
She used that beam attack in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep, but that was a dream.

She prefers to just knock you the fuck out.

>>27547934
Yeah, seeing her do that is actually what prompted the question desu

>>27547835
For what it's worth, she has used it at least once in the comics (beam from the horn).

I think she can, but she just doesn't use her magic for a lot of things. Maybe because magic isn't as big a deal to most unicorns in general.

>>27547835
Her magic level exceeds starlight and twilight combined and has swore never to use it, in fear of cause mass destruction and genocide. If she's in a tight spot she has to rely on physical attacks

She can manipulate needles and other fine knitting equipment.

Imagine now, a world in which My Little Pony wasn't a TV-Y cartoon. Now imagine what it would feel like to have a sewing needle driven into your eyeball.

She's damn capable. Doesn't mean we'll ever see it on screen.

Well, there was that pillow fight at a sleepover where she used her magic to catch some pillows and throw them back. Though she mainly used her hooves or bit and swung them.

How thouroughly uncouth

>>27547835
Not "Canon wise". She's used magical attacks but ONLY in situations where's she's explicitly at a power level higher than her normal power level: Power ponies she can create and summon magical constructs, and she does this again in Do princesses dream of magical sheep.


She's never been shown to possess any actual magical spells besides gem finding and telekinesis in show however.

In the comics, she shoots lasers alot, but everyone does in the comics.

Rarity's magic is largely out of whack when comparing new episodes to old ones

New episodes...she can levitate things and that's it, like every other unicorn with non magic cutie marks

Old episodes, she could instantly transform anything into works of art at will

Sometimes, you have to throw magic tricks to the wayside in favor of some good ol' CQC.

Does she catch pillows with them? From what I gathered catching moving objects with magic isn't something that's done often, and if it is it's generally just Twilight who does it.

I reckoned it was something pretty difficult to do, given there's a few situations where such a spell might have been useful like pic rel

Jeez, I just imagined scenes from the Hell Raiser series, but with needles and thread instead of hooks and chains.

The speed of this in the episode always cracked me up
