There has been a lot of discussion of a seventh element-And for several good reasons:First, the geen element in the book from the season premiere is not the same color as ANY of the six modern elements, the fact that for one shot in the Castle of The Two Sisters, there were six elements, BEFORE Twilight revealed The Sixth, that is thoerized to have been taken by Spike (Hence why we see it later in "Secret of My Excess", STILL IN STONE.)

However, it seems to vanish afterwards:We never see this mystery element again. WHY?!

What if I said we DO see this seventh element again? That Princess Celestia, clever as always, actually took the seventh element, and put it inside the Tree of Harmony? That it would be within the box, that needs six keys to unlock? Once the mane six and the elements unite to open the box, it releases the spirit of the seventh, to give these ponies Rainbow Forms.. Pretty much Super Sayain.. Like Sonic. (Chaos Emeralds, Elements of Harmony. Seven of each, both make you super when you have seven, but only for a short time.. Hmmm.)

Now, this may seem completely crazy at first:The seventh element is INSIDE the Chest of Harmony? Where's evidence? Where's proof? Well, when the chest was opened, you can see that something inside of it is connecting with the elements, in the same way that the element of magic does. That's right, it functioned exactly like the element of magic would, just gave them super sayain because all seven were united.

But wait.. Why did Spike take the seventh element in the first place? How was six enough to do most of what they did? And what spirit does element #7 even represent? Well, that's a theory for you to figure out-My theory is done.
