Levitation

Levitation is one of the most common spells known to ponykind. It is a spell in which the object being levitated is surrounded by a magical aura. The unicorn or alicorn's horn is surrounded by the same aura, and the object in question can be manipulated to various degrees based on the pony's magical ability. This can include lifting, pulling, pushing, and other basic movements.

Spatial Manipulation
Manipulates objects to varying degrees based on the user's magical energy and their experience in casting the spell. This makes levitation an excellent substitute for hands.

Compound Magical Usage
Uses a variable amount of magical energy based on the Potentiampondus theorem.

Trivia
While most unicorns are only capable of using magic related to their cutie mark, nearly every unicorn can, to some degree, use levitation.
