The big problem any author has with tech and mass production, is that its extremely difficult to come up with ever increasingly contrived ways to explain away why a aincient and medaevil method cant be done in quantity with later technology.
My current favourite is the one where they threw all the laws of chemistry into a computer, and then got it to work backwards from the end product, some cancer treatment drug, to see if they could make it cheaper.
They ended up with the computer telling them they could take a group of less than 20 commonly available materials, chuck in a container at atmospheric pressure and no special gasses, then heat and stir for a certain length of time. The resultant soup was excess of 98% pure activee ingredient and the remainder was non toxic at least or neutral.
The last I heard, was them going to check as many other end compounds they could.
They just created Zecora AI.
The simplest way to solve the Griffin problem, is, given Leviathans etc, They travel in fleet, if not Convoy?
Next trick Merlin needs to do is improve the power supply to the Wards. Otherwise its a classic seige. You wait.
Would The Lake have a protective aura due to Artifacts, or would itself be undersiege in the Dark trying to Cleanse it of its Light?
Um, luna? Is this thing on?
A question I have is how did that scrap of conversation with Luna and her sister get transmitted in the first place to be received?
Other than that, fantastic chapter, as usual.

As far as potions go, best way I found as you can see is that - barring growth boosters like centaurs and earth ponies-, you can't make plants grow faster. Given they need magical plants to make the good stuff since they lack zebricans, that puts the bottleneck I need on their production.
Hard stuff to balance out, magic. Much more so when you start fooling around with magitech. Gotta keep things grounded and put bottlenecks in the way otherwise it just gets too easy.
I'll also admit... working in freight, teleportation freaks me the fuck out.

Fluff time.
The way I keep it in my notes, the 'big spell' is multi-layered and a bit of a mess since scholars from all over Equus dipped their fingers in it to make one part or another of the project, at times repurposing different spells to achieve something else entirely. The part where that conversation wound up on radio frequencies is because of one of the preparatory spells, the one that would allow them to cast the main spell array without having to physically be on Earth. Because of the mess in spellcraft needed to achieve that, it was an adaptation of a spell meant for long range voice communication.
Think of it like a 'magical radio channel' they set up to broadcast their spell on Earth. As soon as they powered that part of the spell they had a line connecting them to Earth. The repurposed 'telephone spell' may not have an explicit target, but a secondary effect in the spellcraft was that it accidentally transmitted audio from where it was cast on the background radio waves it was originally intended to work on.
The same background radio waves Sandra's algorithm pieced together to obtain the message.
Contrived I know, but it gives them an incentive to dig deeper.

Good enough for me. I can accept that.

The last I heard, a couple years ago, was an experiment being built to demonstrate the attempt to superposition a mass particle 4 nanometers, or even microns in diameter, in two physicall locations seperated by 10 nanometers, or microns, that is, more than twice its diameter. If decoherence could then be triggered from the origionating location, it would be the very first suceesful example of Matter teleportation. And theoretically scalable, at least in distance.
I suspect the main trick for teleportation of large objects will be the handling of cold plasma BEC encapsulating shells. Turns the object and contents into a single quantum particle, hopefully acts as a stasis field or related.
As for plants, good thing Poison Joke cant be grown in dense stack hydroponic or recoded into algae, bacteria, unless it already is?Maybe Poison Joke was made by Discord, him being a Funguy?
so they have found proof that the change came from Luna and Celestia.
wonder how this will change things?
