In this game just like in the show, or in fanfics. Cutie Marks are worked toward, culminating in receiving a cutie mark of your own design. Each Cutie Mark is broken down into categories, and once obtained grants a special bonus when doing certain acts. Where Special Talents are what defines loosely your character. Weather it is the love of flying, magic, combat, crime, what have you. But it is what eventually will be a recurring trait for your character and is basically a mix of their personality, and how they apply their Cutie Mark / CMB[Cutie Mark Bonus]. Below are the separate categories.
Magic:Weather it's Unicorn's access to all magics, Pegasi Ninjutsu/Stormcery, or Earth Pony NAMA [Nature Magic]/Corporalis [Physical Magics]. Even the Special Stat. A Cutie Mark that is magic orientated gives a boost when using magic based P/S/As. As well as lowering cost of PC/PP when using magic that is tied to the Cutie Mark. This is perfect for those Players who use lots of power, and are more likely to use a wide range of power draining P/S/A. A Unicorn gets a special bonus naturally in that their Unicorn Magic is geared toward what ever they end up doing weather it is magic orientated CM or not.
Physical: This is mostly for Strength, Defense, or Speed orientated CMs. Getting a Cutie Mark in this field gives a natural advantage with the Physical Skills. In Canon this could be considered ponies like Big Mac [Strength], Dashie [Speed, although technically she'd be restricted P/S/A category], and Fanon would be Nyx [Defense based Cutie Mark]. While every pony can get this, Earth Ponies naturally get boosts to the Physical stats.
Flying: Flying covers everything from Speed [lower than Sonic Rainboom Speed], to agility, to weather manipulation [physical based, not magic casting based], Flying Tricks / Skills/Abilities, and other aerial talents. This can be done trough technology if a good enough reason is given, but for the most part it's a Pegasus driven category.
Combat: Combat CM are great for those who love PvP, and whose characters are combat specs. The bonus gained through this category are geared towards gaining more strength, defense, PC/PP, and getting small things like dual weilding weapons, or merging P/S/A more efficiently. It is a very fighting heavy category.
Sigmon Categories: This category is for those whose Cutie Mark revolves around their Sigimon. There are 4 Categories each with their own little niche. Usually those who have this brand of CM have a closer bond as either friends, or Master/Servant than ordinary players. And are thus able to get more out of their Sigimon.
Restricted P/S/A: These are players who waited on getting Cutie Marks until they got a Restricted P/S/A. Similar to how Rainbow Dash got her Cutie Mark by doing the Sonic Rainboom. These Cutie Marks take something powerful and refine it, making it a more special part of the players life. Now Restricted means that its powerful, and the cost of getting one is high. Taking a waiting time, post limit, and an exuberant SP Cost. But all that shows is that a Player is dedicated, serious, and responsible enough for the power.
Criminal: This Category is for those who are pursuing illegal activities [Murder, Cult, Gangs, plotplotins, etc.]. Those who get a CM in this area get boosts to their illegal activities. Everything from making it harder to catch, to boosting the profits of said activities. This adds even more spice to those who walk the dark path.
Miscellaneous:These are for either custom Cutie Marks, or for ones that don't fit in the above category.
