Magic in Equestria

Magic in Equestria is very different from magic in the rest of Arhet. In Equestria it is a major part of their culture and every pony has magic of some sort.

The use of magic is bound by certain rules set by the Department of Equestrian Magic. Forbidden magic include:


 * Tenebris (Dark magic)
 * Ars Proscripta Equestria (Equestrian Rouge Magic)
 * Tempus Itinerantur (Time Travel)

Usage of any of these, unless exused, can face severe consequences, like the confiscation of magic, fines, jail, or death

Prehistory (2000 BC - 1200 BC)
It is unknown when or how magic came to Equestria, or why it is different from magic outside Arhet, but there are multiple theories on how magic came to Equestria.

Unicorns
Unicorns use Magic from thier horns and cast spells from it, the most basic of whih is Leviticus (Levitation).

Pegasi
Pegasi use magic to perform Volatus (Flight), but it is different from Volatus in the rest of Arhet, for this reason it is called Pegasus Volatus. Pegasi also use magis to control the Weather (Tempestas).

Earth Ponies
Earth ponies use magic to help grow plants and crops (Plantacrescere). Disputed powers include:


 * Zoolinguistarum (Communication with animals) This is because some non-Earth Ponies (like Fluttershy) have known to posess it.
