We are talking magic. Magic that is fueled by emotion is a staple of the series. Especially dark magic like when Twilight is introduced to it by Celestia. Take Starlights anger magic for example. It literally possessed ponies. Luna even spawned a being from her own regrets (Tantibus) and she couldn't control it anymore. Nightmare Moon was a transformation due to her negative emotions. The changelingsusdrain others love as sustenance and empowerment. Guns don't get corrupted/empowered by their users emotions and they don't change their users shape and vice versa.
