That's what I was saying, as my recent unfortunate incarceration proves: hether it's really magic or not doesn't matter, just whether the local magic-hating constabulary considers it magic. My point is: let's learn from my hard won lesson and avoid using plants that aren't sold by local apothecaries.

Hell, I know damned near everything, particularly whether I've magicked one up or not while preparing it for use. I DO worry about just those details, and have written monographs on them and the very contradiction in the woefully misnamed 'Natural Magic' field. Talk about your oxymorons...

  Raban smiles, "That may be a great idea, assuming those are not 
watched as places suspected of being magic related.  Knowing what is 
accepted could be very important. My knowledge of such things is greatly 
limited. My teacher told me about various natural magics I would find 
useful, but not in much detail nor what spells were needed to use them. 
I had to purchase the ones I could locate, ready to use. I can recognize 
quite a few medicinal plants and herbs as well as those useful in 
massages, so my herbalism lore is limited... I think it would draw too 
much attention if I visited such a place and from the size of the people 
here, it is unlikely I would fit inside such a shop."
