Now just think about it. Every time Twilight lays herself down to sleep, Golden Oaks comes back.
 
Every. Time. And only until dawn.

I love the intent and feeling of this moment, but
 
I feel like the sense of scale is ‘off’ somehow, so the ruins and restored libraries both look only slightly bigger than Twilight, to me.
 
Could be that I don’t recall that house on the left ever being near the real tree, so it all feels fake.  
Or… if I’m wrong about that, then not sure what it is.

“1. Solution: turn back time for the tree until it unexplodes. Same tree, same materials, just a few hours younger than it would have been”
 
And how would you bring it intact to the present?

And you think it’s possible to turn back time and yank the treehouse from the past back into the present because…?

“Unless someone can turn back time, there’s no way to bring back Golden Oaks Library; at best, one could hope to replace it with an identical copy”
 
Yeah, exactly. Turning back in time is the only way I can see the living Tree back. Anything else would just replace it with a copy.

I actually liked that they brought back the Golden Oaks Library, even if it was just for a second in a dream sequence.

Are you guys serious? You are upset that Twilight brought the tree back?
 
In the DREAM.

We were just discussing how bringing back the tree with magic might not even be possible, so I wouldn’t say it’s a plot hole.

@Joshua  
Yeah, the writers really should have just had the magic box plat itself in the library ruins so there wouldn’t be a “Why can’t the Mane 6 just make Discord poof the library back to normal?” plothole. But I guess they were too busy trying to write an episode with as many plotholes as possible to care at that point.
@Background Pony #BD1C  
Or it’s a really REALLY bad idea. She could do it, but it might wind up a zombie timberwolf or something. Or like, reconstructing it by magically accelerating new tree growth, but it runs the risk of exploding (like Apple Bloom’s apple) or continuing to grow out of control and becoming a new section of the Everfree.

IIRC, the only repair magic we’ve seen are when Twilight fixed the dam in MMDW, and when Rarity fixed the wheel in RTM. Both of those were examples of fracture type damage; we haven’t seen anything that can fix burn damage, let alone on something that might have been alive.
