Welcome to "MLP Theories", where I attempt to solve the mysteries that the show contains. In this episode, I will be explaining why a seventh Element of harmony is all but confirmed-There are seven, NOT six, elements. Let me explain why, and what this could explain.

First off, we have the somewhat-well known piece of evidence that one of the elements' color within the book does not match how the six elements actually looked like, according to the flashback-A green element appears within the book, but nowhere else. But, I have more evidence than just that-As the show has progressed, the 7th element has been hinted at further and further. Let's move on to the season 4 finale, so you can see what I mean.

In this finale, the box from the premiere was finally opened. We never got to see what was within it, but what we DID see was that whatever it was connected with the elements, and allowed the mane 6 to basically become super-saiyan. (Or, a super form like Sonic the Hedgehog. Seems suspicious...) This form never appears again. Ever. Even when the mane six could really use it. It seems as if you'd need both the chest and the elements for it.

But if that's not convincing enough, then let's get to the evidence that all but confirms this theory. In the fourth Equestria Girls film, the main seven eventually gain what I will call "The Geodes of Harmony", due to their immense resemblance to the Elements, even once being found within Everfree, in a crystal spire, resebling the TREE of Harmony. It's all but confirmed that these are the counterparts of the Elements. And there's seven of them. So... yeah, that means there should logically be seven Elements too, they're literally counterparts of each other! And indeed there are-The seventh element is within the chest. (Yep, it takes SEVEN elements to gain those rainbow forms, and they wear off after a while... Oddly familiar..)
