Book after book after book was opened and skimmed through, the purple earth pony scowling in concentration as he sat at his desk in an empty classroom. His Introduction to Magical Theory class had left out more than an hour ago, and his Advanced Magical Theory class only met on weekends; so he could have left here with them, but was choosing to stay to dig through ancient and dusty volumes.

All to answer whether Cutie Mark related skills were considered magic.

There was no denying that there was something in a cutie mark skill that gave a pony an edge over anypony or anyone else attempting to perform the same task. Indeed, that was what made a special talent so... well, special; but just how much of it was a pony's natural ability? Was there something more to it than that? When he hadn't been sure, he'd utterly derailed his own class for the day with the discussion; and nopony seemed to have a legitimate answer for him.

On the one hoof, it was a given that somepony would excel in different areas than somepony else, that was the entire premise of the three tribes working together: Multiple ponies doing jobs that others couldn't. However, with the reports of ponies have supercharged episodes of their special talent and doing remarkable things, as well as the highly documented 'Cutie Mark Failure Insanity Syndrome', there was more than enough evidence to make an argument that they were magical in nature.

Now, without a satisfactory answer reached with the nearly half hour discussion at the end of class, he was working his own talent as best he could to see if there was a satisfactory answer. If there wasn't, then some poor saps had missed out on some serious chances to study and learn about something so central to their society; it was almost maddening for sompony like him, who was literally named 'Conundrum'.
