People can run, yet they walk everywhere. |
| HeinousActsZX #503483 10 months ago |
Walking is healthy, y'know. |

Teleport has a 2.5 minute cool down, you silly heads. |
| HeinousActsZX #503491 10 months ago |
Very rarely do we all agree like this. |

What people are saying. Walking is healthy for everypony. |

she gets somewhat tired after it hence one of the episodes |
| Anonymous #503496 10 months ago |
She has to keep her plot in shape ya know. |
| Anonymous #503497 10 months ago |
Plus she'd run out of excess magic energy at some point

discord could teleport too, but he let a rainbow hit him |
| bamakid1272 #503515 10 months ago |
^ Cuz, you know, S01E03 totally prooved that.
However, I do agree that it keeps her in shape. She's gotta keep that sexy geek look somehow. |

@anon 489 & 501 I don't think it has a cooldown, as she kinda spams it in Applebuck Season. Though it might tire her out faster than walking. And as seen in the Ticket Master, it can be dangerous if not used carefully (It singed a fireproof dragon!!!) |
| Anonymous #503585 10 months ago |
I'm thinking that teleporting follows some rules of physics, bends others, and just plain break others.
Twilight's teleporting bends the law of conservation of energy. While she can spam it (Applebuck Season), she can only teleport several feet at a time. In "Ticket Master", she teleported a fair distance across Ponyville and into her house. The energy she would have used otherwise in getting there has to go somewhere, so it "fell" back onto her and Spike, burning them slightly. Teleporting an extreme distance or prolonged spamming would most likely cause severe burns. |
| Chrono_Ryono #503595 10 months ago |
It might require her to see where she's going or be limited by range. That excuses her for not using it for long range travel...
Otherwise, I'd say she just doesn't want to look like a show-off. She learned that her magic isn't something to hide after the whole Trixie incident, but that doesn't mean she's gonna go around abusing it whenever she can. |

NOT ENOUGH MANA |
| Green_LED #503874 10 months ago |
You must construct additional–
No, wait, that doesn't work here. Here, let me try... I can't do that yet. I need more mana. I need to target something first. I can't cast that yet. I'm out of mana. I can't do that yet. |

Teleporting gives Twilight migraines. |
| Philweasel #504029 10 months ago |
I get the impression that, yeah, she does doesn't like doing it.
Maybe Applejack Season was her 'practice teleportation' day. |
| togashimenai #504053 10 months ago |
Teleporting seems to consume far more energy than walking an equal distance. When she teleports long ranges, she is visibly winded from it. In Applebuck Season, each teleport took intense concentration, when she could have far more easily just walked a few feet. |
| Anonymous #504206 10 months ago |
I have the ability to walk, but I ride my motorcycle every time I'm able, sometimes to travel short distances.
What can I say? I'm lazy. I would think teleportation is exhausting compared to walking. There could be a picture of any of us with the caption being "Has the ability to run. Walks everywhere". |
| El-Kortez #504295 10 months ago |
It is not about mana. She just happened to prepare load of quickened, silenced and stilled Dimension Doors, on the morning of "The Applebuck season". ;) |

Use of magic burns conventional callories? |
| Anonymous #504515 10 months ago |
She probably should have used it to escape the Hydra in Pinkie Keen |
| El-Kortez #505306 10 months ago |
@510 Why should/would not magic burn calories?
@515 Even though it is non-canonical explanation I'd like to think that in (Advanced) Dungeons&Dragons style Twi has to prepare spells in advance. Thats why she spents so much time studying. She had did not teleport in "Feeling Pinkie Keen", because she had not prepared/memorized it that morning. |

Am I the only one thinking of JUMPER? |
| Anonymous #515433 10 months ago |
Kortez: Then I guess she must have prepared a shitload of them in Applebuck Season.
And 399, don't even get me fucking started on Jumper bro. They could have done so much with that movie, and they made it into the most bullshit plot ever. All of my fucking hate. |
