I been getting into learning more about zebra's and lands they are from and I began to ponder. Most times when thinking of shamans like zecora or something similar to them they often have ties to the spirit realm. Sometimes even performing a bond or contract with a spirit that would often enhance their own abilities. Imagine if zecora was one such shaman with her already knowing bit of alchemy and potion making with her having innate ability to communicate with spirits, animes, etc.

Imagine if you will after bonding with a spirit that zecora had the capability of performing spells and abilities you normally see a unicorn. With the spirit lending its power to zecora and even helping tap into zecora own power to use In similar manner to unicorn. I'm kind of having hard to explaining this, I want give some animes and even jrpg as example when a character bonds with spirit, demon, etc it grants them great power, some of it tied to who they tied to but same time own latent ability's that is brought to surface as the being is the conduit allowing that person to tap into it.

I often imagine that zecora powers were shown when tirek showed up with her being immune to his magical ability to drain magic do to her bond with the spirit. So imagine the fight with twilight and tirek but imagine zecora fighting in similar but different manner and she using the spirit she bonded with to fight tirek. ^^ Not sure if anyone agree's but if someone is bond with spirit I think it greatly increase their powers. Imagine zecora using this and knowledge of potion making and I see her giving likes of tirek trouble. Hell I imagine applebloom being zecora apprentice and even fighting along side her with her own spirit protecting her. But what you all think? What kind of abilities you think zecora would have outside of just potion making
