My Little Pony: Legends of Magic #6
Jeremy Whitley (w) • Brenda Hickey (a & mc) • Heather Breckel (c) • Zachery Sterling (sc) • Abigail “LeekFish” Starling (ric)
The famous healer Mage Meadowbrook comes to an abandoned village. A search for the town’s residents will reveal a terrible affliction that may be incurable unless Mage can think quick!

Bullet points:
The last of the legendary ponies is revealed… but what comes next?!
Variant cover by Abigail Starling!
Look like they retcon the mention of meadowbrook being a great Eastern unicorn mage known to have possessed eight enchanted items.

As I was saying in another comment, I don’t think Earth Ponies use magic the same way unicorns do. Earth Pony magic is probably the same thing as Zecora’s magic, based on magical potions and brews. They’re still Earth Ponies, after all, so they still have to work with the limits set upon Earth Ponies. I mean, if an Earth Pony had a special talent for flying, would they be able to levitate? Or, would it be more plausible that they’d just be good with flying contraptions?
Yeah it’s a poor argument and I told them as much.
Earth ponies can be great, even superior at medicinal, herbal-type magic related to natural ingredients. They can’t levitate a spoon through sheer will or fire bolts of magical force.
Edited
That seems highly unlikely. It would trivialize the racial differences between the pony tribes, rendering their differences entirely cosmetic, and also disadvantage unicorns whose only advantage over other tribes is their ability to use magic, similar to pegasi having flight and earth ponies having a natural connection to the land.
A unicorn, for example, could not have the gift of flight without first being a gifted magician, and an Earth Pony has all the flying power of a rock. The only exception comes in the form of technology and similar outside sources, so I assume the same for Earth Pony sorcerers. The pony tribes may use skills associate with other tribes, but they still work with the limits set upon their tribe.

I don’t believe so. Just wizard.
And now that we know what both her and actual easticorns sound like, I doubt anyone could mistake her for one.
Have we ever actually heard the word “Mage” used for a unicorn?
Edited
A guy on my DA has been arguing at length that because Meadowbrook has the “Mage” title (or name?) that this means earth ponies can use the exact same type of magic as unicorns…
Oh. I see.. thank you for ask that.
The Staff of Sameness was fake.
Back Season 5 ‘The Cutie Map’.
mind blow
Hope there’s a comic featuring Sleipnir and a subsequent tie-in. ;3
(I was trying to reference some horse from some game, but eh. >w< )
As with about half of these tie ins nowadays, we’ll find out after the fact. Does make for fun speculation tho.
Edited
Is another comic gonna tie in with the second Zecora episode? :3
Actually one of the main line comics is supposedly a sequel of sorts to this with Fluttershy and Twilight searching for a panacea in Meadowbrooks notes. Would be cool if both of these stories is a setup for how they find Zecora’s cure.
It looks like I was wrong - it’s the equestrian equivalent of a Plague Doctor mask.
Holy crap you hit the nail on the head.
Her disease is incurable, so I am 100% convinced she will be healed by meadowbrook…or maybe the mane 6 will inherit the traits or spirits of these legendary ponies.
Unless you intentionally paint it as a widespread historical inaccuracy.
Maybe Jeremy don’t watch the episode when meadowbrook is mentioned and use the old reference of meadowbrook being an earth pony(the yellow one)
