Removed All Your Powers Combined, which had no explanation as to how there was an example of it here. The trope is: "The logical extension of Powers as Programs, this character has the ability to duplicate or steal the powers of not just one, but an entire group of people and use them simultaneously." Um, so, how? The only thing in those lines I can think of is some speculation I saw earlier about Twilight Sparkle copying spells, and that was speculation (which doesn't belong here), as well as dubiously an example even if it were known to be true.

And this:
- What You Are in the Dark: Rainbow Dash is tempted by Nightmare Moon to leave the quest and abandon her friends to get hers life dream. She's alone; no pony can see what she's doing. And she still chooses her friends over her dream. She's loyalty for a reason.
The others couldn't see what exactly was going on, but with Twilight even shouting "don't listen to them," it's hard to see how this was a choice no-one would ever know about.
Am I the only one who thinks that none of the 5 (I'm excluding Twilight since hers was so vague) really demonstrated the trait that corresponded with their Element of Harmony?
Applejack gets the Element of Honesty for giving Twilight a vague and noncommittal answer as to why she should risk her life!
Fluttershy gets the Element of Kindness for letting her friends get beat up by a manticore a bit before interrupting them to let them know it had a thorn in its paw!
Pinkie Pie gets the Element of Laughter for singing a random song and distracting her friends from what could've been mortal danger!
Rarity gets the Element of Generosity for making a sea serpent's mustache look worse than it already did!
Rainbow Dash gets the Element of Loyalty for having the attention span to finish a simple task and being able to see through a shallow ploy to distract her!
