Sunburst loves his books, and loves learning. He tends to focus more on knowledge and learning than the world and those around him. As a result, he can be a somewhat neglectful friend, especially once he gets hyper-focused on a subject. He sometimes struggles to see the forest for the trees- he'll go over finer details with a fine-toothed comb, but fail to see the bigger picture around him- both in situations and relationships. He sometimes does realise when his actions are hurting others, but doesn't delve too far into it. His concern for others can be brushed aside pretty easily with a insincere reassurance that things are fine. He takes that kind of thing at face value, instead of looking further into it. He's pretty insular and introverted, happy in his own company. He admits himself he doesn't have much in common with others- and while he loves experiencing common bonds with others, and will happily spend hours with them, he does often tend to sequester himself away after a while to be with his own thoughts. He has some real issues with not being good enough, placed there largely by his overbearing mother. She expected great things of him, and when he fell short of the mark, he locked himself away from everyone around him in shame. He always feels he's a failure, and though that has gotten better in recent years, his flunking out of magic school (and his general lack of magical skill) is still a very tender subject. His feelings of failure don't get any better with the knowledge of what his actions did to Starlight. There's quite some lingering guilt about how he was the catalyst for her dangerous actions against Twilight and the world at large. He genuinely wants to be a better person, though- especially when it comes to her. Even if he continues to be...himself and occasionally inadvertently makes her feel worse instead of better.
Unicorn magic - Unicorns are a race of ponies in Equestria with the ability to consciously cast spells. Spells are wide and varied- something a unicorn learns with study and a great deal of practise. Very few are able to cast complex spells without learning them first. It should be noted here that Sunburst knows "practically every spell that was ever written" BUT how well a spell is cast really depends on the unicorn in question. Some are exceptionally powerful, some are very poor, and most are somewhere in-between. Sunburst a very poor spell caster at all- any complex spells he uses tend to have to be used in conjunction with other unicorns to make any difference- and it strains him considerably to do so. He might know all the spells, but he sure as heck can't cast them all. Here's some basic ones: Special talent - Knowledge - All Equestrian ponies are born to a destiny, a single thing they will excel at. Sunburst's is knowledge. He reads a lot and absorbs everything he does read like a sponge. He specialises in magic, but he's able to learn just about anything with relative ease, so long as he's given the time to read and study the material. He might not be able to put much of his knowledge into practise, but boy, does he know things.
