Botanical Magic

Magic formed from plant essence and plant materials such as petals, pollen, stems, leaves, etc.


 * Trading pollen or sap would spike (maybe some pollen would be magical or some not magical so there could be a dark market that tries to sell normal pollen to unaware buyers)
 * If magic comes from pollen then seasons will matter a lot. Maybe it would be a bad idea to start a magical war in winter when there is no pollen to be found. Also means that desert-like territories will be at a disadvantage.
 * Maybe using spells in a forest or a field could be dangerous because magical interactions with wild plants would be random.
 * Pollen allergy would be a bad thing to become a wizard (that's kind of unimportant in the whole scale but now I really want to write a wizard that battles allergies daily lol).
 * Bee whisperers who use the magic pollen coating the bees to control them. Or potions being derived from carefully managed beehives so that the honey has just the right combination of nectars and residual pollens to have the correct effect.
 * If the magic substance in the plants are actually the male chromosomes pollen would be a super concentrated magic powder. Sap on the other hand would be diluted with water and plant matter.
