[Abilities]
Non-magical Abilities
First off, Celestia is a pony - although she is somewhat different to the other ponies of Equestria. She is much larger, and has a build much more closely resembling that of a horse than a pony. She is also a Pegasus Unicorn, a rare kind of pony that has both a unicorn horn and pegasus wings - the only Pegasus Unicorn ponies known are herself and her sister, Luna, indicating that this is perhaps a trait of royal ponies.
She is also a capable and wise ruler, who is beloved by her subjects. She often rules in a gentle manner, allowing her subjects to grow on their own and encouraging them rather than being controlling.
Magical Abilities
While the full extent of Celestia's magic is unknown, what is demonstrated in the series is that Celestia possess magic far beyond that of normal unicorn ponies. She is able to control the sun and the daytime sky, and is in fact responsible for causing the sun to rise and bringing about each new day. (It is unknown whether Celestia actually moves the sun, or creates a new one each day, but for the purposes of rp I will assume that this ability means that she is able to move suns, and by extension other heavenly bodies - or at least the ones on Equestria). And while it is outside of her normal duties, she has also been responsible for moving the moon and the stars while Nightmare Moon was banished. However, her ability to move celestial bodies will only apply to those within the pony universe.
She was also able to harness the Elements of Harmony - the most powerful magic known in Equestria. They are made up of six elements: Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and Magic (aka Friendship). It is implied that she used them on her own, while Twilight (a unicorn of considerable magical power) - also needed the assistance of her friends to harness them.
Presumably, Celestia is also capable of all the spells that Twilight and other unicorns cast in the series. Some examples of magic seen in the series include telekinesis, locating gems, transforming objects into other objects, teleporting, putting things to sleep, and conjuring up mustaches. She can also transport small objects like scrolls (which I will assume is jsut a differnt form of teleportation). Transporting scrolls also appears to require having Spike on the other end, so long-distance transporting most likely requires something magically able to receive them on the other end, such as a baby dragon like Spike. Her ability to teleport is assumed to be only a short distance, probably around about 5-10 metres).
So far there doesn't appear to be much rhyme or reason to the magical spells in the series, and it appears to be largely dependent on mental ability, with concentration and knowledge being key. She is also capable of dispelling magic, such as when Twilight's magic got out of control.
She is unusually long-lived, having lived for over 1000 years, and is capable of flight and walking on clouds. Also, her hair sparkles and defies gravity.
