In magic
Alicorn hair shed from their mane can help stabilize a dying creature, and glows when it touches a living creature. It can also be used as a spell catalyst.3
In magic items
As with unicorn horns, alicorn horns have magical properties. For example, an alicorn trigger is a magical jezail that engages a preserved alicorn horn mounted beneath its barrel to produce a beam of light so powerful that it can not only blind but burn creatures in its path. Such horns are often bestowed willingly by the alicorn at its natural death.4
