Sweetie Belle’s horn was glowing when she rushed off to Harmonizing Heights the first time.
Guess she was training with Starlight Glimmer and learned Accelero before this episode.

@Liange  
I hope so.
@Slytherin-Rui
Trixie has been learning some spells form Starlight lately, like this:

Self-levitation.
Before that, only Starlight’s the one who can do it, and for sweetie belle, I wonder she’ll learn the same thing, hopefully we see something like that in s9, maybe have a Twilight time like episode, instead of Twilight, it’s Starlight.
 
so you mean season 9 have a episode title is Starlight Time? ⊙ω⊙
@Ryodraco  
“The path of least resistance” that’s what she took.
@Shimmering Spectacle  
True, although I’d argue that reversing gravity for herself and Spike the way she later did to slide up the stairs required less effort than constant levitation and was a more complex spell to enact.
@Pokemon_Fan21  
Yes except she only used it to stop her fall, she didn’t use it when she was climbing the stairs.
@Shimmering Spectacle  
Actually, before Twilight got her wings, she could self-levitate, too. Evidence of such is in The Crystal Empire Part 2. After Twilight trips and falls down the spiral staircase, she uses self-levitation to stop herself from hitting the floor.
@Slytherin-Rui  
Yeah seeing the CMCs hanging out with Starlight, that’ll be awesome.

Now, that would be awesome to watch; Starlight Glimmer teaching Sweetie Belle how to use some serious magic like she did with Trixie. :)

In general unicorns with celestial based cutie marks seem to be more potent or at least posses more magical knowledge (ie starburst) than the average unicorn which further solidifies my headcanon that unicorns with celestial cutie marks are generally more powerful/talented than unicorns without a celestial cutie mark.
@Ryodraco  
It’s possibly because of Starlight teaching her those kinds of spells, that only a rare few unicorns can cast
Would be interesting if this is the case, we do know from the previous season that Sweetie Bell seems to have some potential for a wider variety of spells than an average unicorn (she’s shown using a rudimentary shield against the flyders, the sort of spell most unicorns can’t use), and the star cutie mark is associated with magical talents (plus having a wider variety of spells would allow her to help more ponies, i.e. her special talent).

What no
@CMWaters  
Yeah, your probably right about that
@C.H  
Would have been fun to see, but leaving it to interpretation is good too.
Yeah it’s possible that Starlight was teaching the CMC s some spells which is quite interesting
