I never said raising the sun didn't require real magic, don't put words in my mouth. I'm aware of the magical strain raising the Sun put on regular ponies who_*didn't have the actual sun itself as their special talent_*. As what you quoted says, Celestia had a "**special** power to raise the sun all by herself", meaning the magic she gained from her cutie mark was not the strength to raise the sun, but rather it was a type of magic specific to her.
The Tirek thing I can see where you're getting at, but the majority of unicorns in Equestria don't have very much magical power to begin with. They use it for mundane tasks such as telekinesis. What you're saying also assumes that the four princesses are the same power level. It's possible that Cadence, a princess whose magic is fueled by love, an extremely prevalent feeling and debatably more powerful attraction than friendship, provided more power to Twilight, who was also fueled by friendship, the thing that kinda defines magic in this world. So it still doesn't prove Celestia is this overpowered near god-level being that the fandom makes her out to be.
