My Sixth Plot Pony: Friendship is Sufficently Advanced

Humm... If that is what she is about, I would have preferred the big reveal scene to include her trying to use the spell on herself, only for it to fail the moment she removes her own cutie mark, because she loses her special magic, thus immediately getting her cutie mark back. An in, she physically CAN'T remove her own cutie mark.
Of course, that would let her paint herself as a martyr of the new regime, being the only one that can't share the true happiness of the rest of the village, which wouldn't fly with the author's intentions of delegitimizing her rule and getting her run out by a mob.
*Shrugs*
As Starlight Glimmer said, she studied that spell for years.  I'm not so sure it is her special talent spell.  And even if it is, she wouldn't have tried to remove her cutie mark, because actually succeeding in doing so would have made the end goal of spreading equality to all of Equestria impossible.
And even if painting herself as a martyr would have been more optimal, I still don't think she would have done so, as it would have prevented her (in her mind) from becoming friends with those who had been equalized.
