Exceptions[]
Primal fairies[]
Primal fairies are a special type of magical beings, who's powers come from an outlying source, usually passed through generations. The most notable one in the show, would be Bloom's Dragon's Flame.
Unlike the others, they are much more powerful and it's much harder to neutralize their powers, as they aren't entirely within the fairy itself. They usually also fall under one of the above category (once again, take Bloom as an example, who can be sorted under fire fairies).
Usually, the primal source is linked to a magical being or in rare cases, an artifact.
Examples:
- Fairy of the Phoenix Fire (fire)
- Fairy of the Waterstars (water)
- Fairy of the Hippogriff's Claw (nature)
- Fairy of the Siren's Song (sound)
- Fairy of the Shadow Phoenix (darkness)
- Fairy of the Pegasus' Flight (air)
