I always figured Twilight was more a wizard then a mage, if that makes sense. I always thought that the idea was that she can cast really powerful magic, but she has to be prepared in order to cast magic or at least have some idea on what was going to happen, so surprises catch her off guard.
Anyway, on the topic of this episode, This episode was amazing and I loved every moment of it. I think this is the first time My Little pony got most, if not all of it's humor being dry humor. There is probably a dry humor joke hear and there, but this episode seamed centered on it and it was really worked wonders. I had a lot of feelings in this episode, from seeing the sadness Pinkie felt from her friends not hitting it off with her sister right away, to the awe at PONY DRILLS THE ROCK. Maud is really amazing, and I really enjoyed her character so much. In fact I enjoyed the episode a lot, and I think I'll be giving this one seven or eight rewatches
I really can't bring myself to say much words on the subject, because most of them are variants of 'that was amazing', and 'oh boy oh boy oh boy', and 'can maud be a main character?!".
This was easily one of the best episodes in the season for me. I don't know if it's better or worse then the Rarity Manehatten episode, but they are both pretty close in my mind.
