Okay, here it is. I've finally finished Twilight Nova, and threw in Twilight Sparkle as an added bonus for comparison. I will upload absurd res images of Twilight Nova/Sparkle by themselves (and no background) if anyone requests it.
For those wondering, Twilight Nova is simply the name for Twilight Sparkle with pretty much every single "powerup" she has access to, both canonically and in theory.
The canon powerups are the heavy magic use horn glow shown in Boast Busters, the Rage Mode from Feeling Pinky Keen, and the Wild Magical Potential effect from Cutie Mark Chronicles.
The theoretical powers are that the Flight Spell from Sonic Rainboom might provide different wings depending on the personality of the subject it is cast on, in this case standard Alicorn wings, as well as the idea that if a pony is able to use its magic to extend its life, that instead of growing old, it would instead grow larger and match up closer to Celestia and Luna in form, as they have lived for thousands of years, and the final supposition that Twilight would be able to inherent all the elements of Harmony as the rest of the mane six eventually passed away, or just simply by them to her directly in a sort of "by your powers combined, etc"

Eyup, that's what alicorn Twilight would look like. Nice job.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I basically did all of this modularly, so I can remove any/all jewelry, wings, change/remove any/all of the hair/flames, change the colors, and/or get rid of the lighting effects too. It's just an issue that I don't want to upload all the various combinations unless someone wants something specific.

Haha, I've had the similar "elements design idea" but for Celestia. Now I wonder with what kind of idea the artist (artist:ShadowHunterCIS) will came up inm y request.

Wow, this is just epic. Love it, and I can really see it happening too. The elements on the hooves are a fantastic touch. I think you can stand to make the heavy magic glow a little brighter and more transparent, at least in the center; it looks like a murky cloud right now. Other than that, it's epic.

I know somebody who'd be interested in an image of just Twilight Nova.

Saved for being awesome

I must ask, how is Twilight able to wield all of the Elements of Harmony and be able to use their full potential? Celestia was not able to in canon, which leads me to believe that the Elements have to split among ponies in so that each individual Element can have it's potential realised, and then the power has to be directed through teamwork to combine the Elements' maximum power - creating that insane rainbow attack spell seen in Ep 2.

In my theory, Twilight would have to be far more powerful than Celestia in order to even stand a chance in holding all of the Elements at once and being able to use them to their highest power, unless the very souls of her friends are merged into her body - or some similar, somewhat creepy situation.

Just let me know what things you do or don't want.

That last comment was directed at DragonSpike.

This part is addressing the anon below him:

There are a couple of possible explanations to that issue.
For one, Celestia might not have been able to unlock the power of the elements of harmony due to her own internal conflict at needing to seal her sister away.
For another, Celestia even states herself that Twilight demonstrated some of the strongest magic she's ever seen. Some have interpreted that as specifically excluding herself and Luna from that, but I personally take it at face value - Twilight is, on a pure instantaneous power basis, stronger than even Celestia and Luna, however Celestia and Luna still have the extended lifespan(possibly immortal) and can also sustain their power for longer.
There's also the issue that Celestia took on the Elements of Harmony on her own to begin with. There was no mention made of any of her friends helping with that. Celestia was fighting for the ponies, which though still an act of love, is somewhat less personal than Twilight's case where she's fighting for her friends, and in the case of inheriting the Elements of Harmony from them, would be carrying on their will/spirit.
Another issue is that the elements of Harmony may not have been "destined" for Celestia to own. There are numerous cases where a mystical device is attuned to one specific individual, but can still be "borrowed" by people in need of their power when the specific attuned individual isn't available.

That makes sense, especially the "you're not the chosen one but you can use his sword until he shows up" type of explanation. Though that would mean that Twilight wielding all of the Elements later on doesn't grant her full power, since she isn't the Chosen One for five out of six of them. That's a good thing, though, for the purpose of fanfiction, because that means if Twilight became corrupt, she would not have absolute power, and a band of heroes could seize at least five of the Elements due to being the new Chosen Ones, and defeating a corrupt Twilight.

With Celestia stating that Twilight has the strongest magic she's seen, I think it is in comparison to every pony Celestia has ever known, including herself, when they were Twilight's age. Basically, Twilight has huge raw power, more than enough to blast something blindly with brute force and send it several galaxies over. But Celestia recognises that without proper training, Twilight could cause chaos unintentionally, and won't reach her true potential without such training. It does also mean, however, that Twilight can go corrupt and use that training for evil purposes. Again, more food for the purposes of fan fiction.

Twilight is seriously one of those characters who is likely to do something badass and powerful, and later say: "Bet you're glad I'm your side, huh?"

Actually, by "you're not the chosen one" I meant that while Twilight is CURRENTLY only the "chosen one" for the Element of Magic, she could be the potential "chosen one" for all the elements, but needs to first learn about those aspects from her friends to grow as an individual.

And honestly, I don't see Twilight as being the type of character you're describing. Rainbow Dash is more likely to do what you're talking about.

Twilight is more the type to do something baddass and powerful and then just mark "stop apocalypse" off of her checklist once she's done and then maybe move on to the next thing on her list; "Wash Dishes"

Yeah, I don't believe Twilight is as prone to being evil as I seem to make out. I'm just throwing it out there blindly, pointing out that Twilight has some things about her that would make her an interesting villain - if it were not for the fact that she is good right down to the core.

I see what you mean with Twilight becoming the future chosen one for ALL of the Elements. I imagine that it would be incredibly... touching... to see Twilight, newly immortal and in Alicorn form, being given the Elements her closest friends have beared for their entire mortal lives. A scene such as that, with a character who lives only to bring the magic of friendship into everypony's lives, now losing the very friends who gave her life such a purpose, would carry a lot of emotional weight.

Sorry about the fan fiction style examples. It's just how my imagination works, it doesn't stop at whatever it's given, it creates a more visual example of it, too.

note: Twilight did go out with her friends one day to move a Dragon away from Ponyville, and then returned home with her friends like it was just a day out to the park. She definitely does a lot of stuff in the show that many characters would rank pretty high up on their list of awesome memories, but Twilight just seems to take everything in her stride and then get back to whatever she was doing prior to being interrupted with the apocalypse, dragon invasions, sky falling, etc, etc.

This actually is an image for fanfiction I'm writing, so there's really no need to apologize. I just find that the idea of becoming corrupt is rather silly. Real people don't "become" corrupt, they either already are and only gained the opportunity to abuse it, or they're good people who have grow jaded or just plain lazy with the ability to muscle their way through things instead of needing to think carefully and consider all points of view.
I could easily see Twilight falling into the latter possibility though. Once she's had to magically muscle her way through things a few times, it'll start becoming her default reaction to problems; "Throw magic at it until it does what I want"

Ultimately, its a moot point. The real reason is because I noticed that Twilight was the only pony out of the six with a crown, and that the other 5 easily filled out the role of managing necklace and bracelets for each foot, which would closely parallel Celestia's standard regalia.

"Nova Spark" is a fitting name.

@Pony_tail - There are only two options; either the necklaces hold SOME kind of power, or they appear when an individual evokes their power. Either way, wearing all 6 at once shows that either you have access to whatever power they do have, or that you are evoking the necessary power needed to make them appear.

@InsaneCat - Not really. She's still Twilight, so changing her name completely isn't really fitting at all, but a sparkle is small, a Nova is large. There's little more to it than that.

@grey or simply, they acquired the necklaces when they noticed that they were the element of the harmony.
IMO they are just trophy, nothing else
