That couldn’t be helped; it was more of an asset in its wild form than it ever would be if they tamed it—if they could. And if it wasn’t the forest that caused the magic to go malfunction, maybe it was Discord. Celestia thought he was powerless in his stone prison; Luna was not so certain. Like the Everfree, the Elements did what they wished without leave from ponies. Centuries of study, and the most gifted unicorns were no closer to understanding the Tree of Harmony than when they’d began.
