I have to say that Starswirl has truly proven himself to be a valued ally of Aquestria.
He’s certainly one of the weirdest allies we’ve had, but I’m glad he’s on our side.
There was a cliff about to collapse into the water near a seapony settlement due to mining by a pony settlement. Starswirl identified the situation after they asked him how to stabilize the area. He obviously told them to halt mining operations and checked the area for seaponies, which he found and so had them alert me.
Turned out… that he didn’t know exactly how to stop the cliff from collapsing and needed my strength. He was incredibly reluctant to admit it, but he was just shy of the magical power to deal with this situation. I admit, I was feeling rather smug about the situation.
Still, I’m incredibly glad he decided not to be too prideful and allow me to help. We ended up having to collapse the entire cliff, halt the falling rocks with our magic, and levitate them to the shore. As a bonus to the ponies, they actually could excavate the rocks. If they had plunged into the water though, the iron ore in the rock would have really rendered much of the water uninhabitable for seaponies.
As a reward for his aid, I’ve given him a magic book connected to another book (obviously waterproofed) that I own. He can use it to contact me and… chat. Part of this is because I’ve learned quite a bit about arcane spells from him, though his “magic of friendship, or harmony magic” theory still escapes me, and I want to stay in contact with him. The other? Well, Starswirl is a friend. One I will have to say goodbye to eventually, but one who will be perhaps more memorable than the others.

Well it's nice that Samudra's got a friend for the time being
I thoght Starswirl don't understand in friendship as Twilight do.
8552248 Theory... granted, i haven't actually watched season 7 finale at this point :P

That what Celestia said to Twilight in season three final. Just before she ascented and became alicorn.
8552288 well then, just because he didn’t understand it completely doesn’t mean he didn’t know anything about it :P
8552459
True. By the way love your side stories to Celestia changeling Queen. So much lore added to your universe.

:D.

Agree with vren here, about that he might have known SOMETHING about friendship. Just because he didn't ascend, doesn't mean he didn't come close. =) He might have fallen just before "finish line" or something.

Yeah it's kind of gauche really. The way Starswirl is presented is pretty.. meh in all honesty. After the IDW comics, it felt like character assassination almost. I could buy situation of the moment making a bit of a qualm, but he was much more of a teacher and did came to value others for help, especially since how much the landscape could change and the places that would cause him to need more information just makes him ignorant rather than competent.
