  Raban sighs, "No you missed what I said. More powerful effects such as 
making someone stronger may be magical. So many plants have magical 
applications but if you use magic to bring out that ability is the plant 
itself magical? Some plants are inherently magical while others are not. 
So is there some that bring out powerful effects that are not magical 
and do not need magic to produce results. My teacher never worried about 
those details so I do not know for sure. I also cannot see magic like 
some do so I cannot easily verify if the plant is magical. For massages 
and healing, there are many plants that help greatly and do not need 
magic to process. Others that are more effective use spells to bring out 
that ability. They are used the same way so I would not be sure when I 
am using a magical version or not. So I can understand how others may 
declare all such use is magic even when it is not. It is always 
difficult when someones skill assisted by plants, herbs or oils and can 
cure things without use of magic. How would someone know they did not 
use magic? I am afraid that here they will assume anything effective is 
magic and not because of years of training and practice. But what if 
your training actually brought out some magical talent and you did not 
know it? Can you be sure you are not adding something more than skill?"
