===Teacher, historian, and Pillar===
In instructing [[Princess]]es {{FIM|Princess Celestia|Celestia}} and {{FIM|Princess Luna|Luna}}, Starswirl was forced to deal with Celestia's tendency to belittle her sister's struggles with learning magic. This later came to a head when Luna accidentally opened a portal to [[Eris' dimension|another universe]], and was abducted by some of its denizens. Starswirl reopened the portal and led Celestia on a rescue mission, and the pair successfully rescued Luna from several [[ogre]]s. After returning to [[Equestria]], Star Swirl began compiling legends of various heroes, including [[Rockhoof]], [[Mistmane]], [[Flash Magnus]], {{FIM[[Somnambula (pegasus)|Somnambula}}]], and [[Mage Meadowbrook]]. In the process, he determined that these heroes-together with himself-represented important and powerful elements: [[Sorcery]], [[Strength]], [[Beauty]], [[Bravery]], [[Hope]], and [[Healing]].<ref>[[Legends of Magic issue 1]]</ref><ref>[[Legends of Magic issue 2]]</ref><ref>[[Legends of Magic issue 3]]</ref><ref>[[Legends of Magic issue 4]]</ref><ref>[[Legends of Magic issue 5]]</ref><ref>[[Legends of Magic issue 6]]</ref>
 
Starswirl was unaware that the other five ponies were in fact real beings, but would soon learn differently. After the banishment of {{FIM|Tirek|Lord Tirek}}, Starswirl set to work on a spell that he would ultimately be unable to finish.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Magical Mystery Cure}}</ref> During this process, he was interrupted by [[Stygian]], who requested Starswirl's aid on behalf of [[Stygian's village|his village]], which was being menaced by a trio of [[Siren]]s known as the [[Dazzlings]]. To his astonishment, Starswirl was then introduced to others whom Stygian had recruited for the same task: the very legends whose existence he had doubted.<ref>[[Legends of Magic issue 11]]</ref>
