To be fair, if Celestia did all the hard work herself, her citizens might became lazy and/or dependent. She's ALSO in charge of teaching Twilight to become AWESOME.
On the other hand, she REALLY likes screwing with ponies. She was probably watching the entire ordeal and laughing her horn off. |

Celestia might have been busy quelling panic and riots. I doubt Fluttershy is the only one that saw the smoke and thought it was a major wildfire. |

If only everypony knew the truth. Did you ever wonder why she so rarely goes out in public? What does she spend all that time doing? Keeping Equestria safe and hidden from They Who Shall Not Be Named, thats what. You think a dragon breathing smoke is bad? You can't even imagine the chaos that would ensue if *THEY* ever broke through the veil. (dun dun dunnn!) |

my hypothesis: Twilight is an intern for the position of becoming a government agent. her career prospects include being the first responder to incidents and situations that could quickly turn bloody and either negotiate a peaceful resolution or use her incredibly powerful magic to quickly end it before the problem really ever begins. |

I think Celestia knew very well they could handle it. |

^ She and the dragon talked it over beforehand?

Ooh, I like this whole "there's a greater evil that Celestia has to keep at bay" idea. Actually, Rarity DOES mention the word "tank" in her dress song. The only way for her to know that word would be if this world HAS tanks. Tanks mean modern warfare. I'm thinking that Equestria has some unpleasant neighbors. |
| Drasvin #230610 1 year ago |
@togashimenai Those would have to be some nasty neighbors. Celestia can control the sun, her sister controls the moon. That would give them the magical equivalent of nuclear weaponry. Any force that would attack Equestria is either incredibly stupid, dependent on guerrilla combat and terrorist actions (making it difficult to pin down which section of land should be burned to the ground), too small a force to justify annihilating an entire area, has something of equal power, or has a way to counter and/or defend against the might of the sun and the moon. |

Clearly we can see Phyrexia's newest target. |

Twilight's position with Celestia is similar to the position that Darth Vader has with the Emperor. (I hate Tyrant Celestia theories but that's the only thing that comes to mind. Also the mayor is grand moff Tarkin) Twilight has no official rank, but as the apprentice of the God-Empress she's got a lot of authority. |

I think she's not as all powerful as people think, perhaps she uses most of her power raising the sun and can't pull off huge miracles afterwards.
After all, if Celestia and Luna were incredibly powerful god-like ponies, why did Nightmare Moon shapeshift and stuff instead of instant-head-explosion? |

"has access to unlimited magical power"
I missed where that was confirmed. |
