Hmm I've always wondered.
All unicorns have some form of telekinesis right? It's just that they're more attuned in specific things (e.g. Rarity is more attuned in gems), whereas Twilight is like Jean Grey?
Rarity hasn't really learned any magic. Telekinesis would seem to be the easiest spell in MLP. A Unicorn Pony can make something happen by willing it to happen, but it can't do anything really complicated. Rarity stumbled upon the gem-detector spell without even knowing what it was, and doesn't look like she wants or needs to learn more.
Twilight has a massive power level, and an abnormally heavy education in it's use.
Trixie appears to have some degree of non-formal education.
Since Lyra followed Twilight from Canterlot to Ponyville in order to spy on Twilight for Celestia, she most likely had standard Canterlot-level magical education, but she obviously has less power and education than Twilight. Maybe some specialized spy training. She knows enough to do the cloudwalking spell so she could spy on Twilight's trip to Cloudsdale.
