Why didn't Rarity use self-levitation like Starlight and Pumpkin Cake?
>>25628128
>Why didn't
Because it's a kid's show. There are tons of instances that are like that through it.
>>25628128
I just realized Pumpkin Cake is also a magical prodigy.
>>25628128
She was panicking.
>>25628128
She's not powerful enough. Pumpkin's magic was uncontrolled and random, and Starlight's unbelievably gifted.
>>25628128

Purplesmart said it in some earlier episode
Self-levitation is a skill that requires practice
Pumpkin Cake doesn't count cause babies and young unicorns seem to have random spurts of magic. Maybe similar to how human babies are really good at some things but when they grow up they lose those skills unless they retrain them.

The only powers Rarity has is being a fat whore. You can't levitate what you can't lift.

Plus, self-levitation would presumably be more difficult--or just magically different--than levitating an equivalently heavy external object. Pre-wings Twilight, for example, could hold Dash aloft by her tail, but never levitated herself.

Twilight levitated herself once, when she fell down the stairs during the S3 premiere.
>>25628128
Either she does not meet prerequisites for overland flight or the vigorous movement from falling made her fail the concentration check

>>25628128
Because that magic don't exist in the plot of the show since the S2, that why
Rarity is shit tier at non-fashion related magic

>>25628128
Why can't I play the violin? I have hands.
>>25628128
She's not strong enough dude
>>25628128
Magical levitation isn't known to be an easy spell, and Rarity doesn't put much time or focus into her magic.
