School Raze raises a few questions

[Nightmare Muffin]

I got some questions.

1: If CG 's plan was to take all the base magic out of Equestria's ponies, then how would that enable HER to have all the physical power when it came to friendship? The base power of earth ponies/ unicorns, pegasi, and magic amulets can be sucked up collected, but how does that equate to "friendship power"?



2: Also, if all pony magic is gone, then could Zecora have come out of the woodworks and save Equestria?



3: Was Twilight's saying that "one doesn't graduate from learnin about friendship after one has saved Equestria" a contradiction; because Starlight (Trixie, Thorax, and Doscord) saved th e world that one time, and Starlight got thrown a graduation party soon after. What's up with that?



4: How did Starswirl know what would happen after the magic was drained on the third day, and that they'd lose their magic forever, if such things have never happened before (because clearly they still have their magic,meaning this has never happened before now and gone as far as after the third day when it'd be lost permanently)?



5: Are Celestia and Luna truly raising the sun and moon? Because they could've halted the time cycle to prevent the days from occurring, and stopping Cozy or the prophecy from happening.



6: How does Cozy know about other worlds, to have mentioned them in her villainous dialogue? Has she been to them?



7: Why did the ponies, in spite of knowing that Cozy has contacted Tirek from the outside and worked together while Tirek was still locked up, would they put them in the same proximity for them to collaborate on the inside, once Cozy is captured? They know they're a danger when in two completely different places, so why would they put them in the same place?

I'll take a swing at these.
1. It was my understanding she was gathering the magic to harness and use as a weapon.
2. Eh, I'm assuming no otherwise she would have been involved. I think zebras are a race of ponies rather than a seperate species.
3. She likes to make money. Also these are still children rather than full-blown adults. The students were friends before this ordeal, starlight's crew not so much.
4. Study horse likes to study?
5. I'm assuming that time still progresses even if the moon and sun aren't risen or lowered (season 4 finale, twilight waking up in the middle of the afternoon)
6. She probably just got info through Tirek
7. Aside from Cerberus leaving his post, there have been no other incidents with Tartarus. They're (foolishly) assuming that Cerberus won't leave again.
