Magic concerning the latest episode...

------------------------------GIANT SPOILER TAG OF SPOILING SPOILISHNESS-------------------------------------

Spoiler: show

So, in the latest episode, we discovered that Zebras posses more magic than we first thought, and I'd like everyone thoughts on it. Do you support it? Find it lore-breaking? Or something completely different?

Personally, I found it fascinating and rather interesting, and I'd like to know the full extent of what exactly Zebras can do. Especially since one of my OCs was partially raised by them, this really intrigued me.

So yea, post your thoughts, I just felt a need to discuss this.

This is exactly how I felt. I wasn't expecting that, actually.

It was a neat surprise.

As far as I can tell, Zecora is supposedly the MLP equivalent of a shaman from African tribes, which do practice types of witchcraft, voodoo, and whatnot.
I guess potion making is just a small sliver of what she's shown before this episode. Now she's got lots of neat tricks that I want to see more of.

well zecora is from a foreign country which is most likely Africa so it would make sense for her to be a shaman, but do you think she will be put in more episodes from now on bcuz of this

I hope she will.

I think it was pretty interesting that she has magic. It was cool.

You know I did thought about that. However I didn't mind too much. I think it awesome that there other creature out there besides ponys that can do magic also.

I liked the idea of "different" magic. How, even though the magicks of the 3 pony races has been established as everyday occurrence, almost as commonplace as language, there still exists something else. I think it's really cool how they've hinted at it now. Peaks my interest. I'd love to see how the rest of the fandom (especially the fanfic writers) goes with this.

Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one supportive of this; I was wondering how everyone else felt about unicorns and alicorns suddenly becoming not so special.

Zebras are probably sensitive to magic, they just can't cast it themselves without some kind rune or magical item

[The Wandering Magus]

I like the "scientific" approach to magic that allows non-unicorns to use magic and unicorns to amplify magic
