Alchemical Plants

From wind-swept cliffs to mist-shrouded forests, from tundra ice to molten stone—alchemical plants thrive wherever magic subtly intersects with life. These plants range from the almost ordinary to the rare and exotic: some grow unnoticed beside roads and hedgerows, while others bloom only beneath eclipsed skies or in the breath of active volcanoes.   Each is attuned to one of the known magical aspects and reflects that alignment through its structure, habitat, and behavior. Their properties are studied, preserved, and sometimes feared by alchemists, herbalists, and druids alike.   This compendium gathers the known flora whose alchemical potential has been confirmed through fieldwork, experimentation, and tradition. For some, these entries may serve as practical guides. For others, they are warnings. No plant here is inert. Each is part of a wider system of magic and life—and none should be handled lightly.
