The tree, contrary to it's name, is a boon to those who practice the magical arts. this small, unassuming tree grows in groups of 5 -15 individual plants, usually 10 -15 metres apart and has clusters of five spearlike leaves 12-15 centimetres in length growing from the end of each branch. The tree has actually developed a symbiotic relationship with magic users, who have unknowingly become the magefoil's primary pollinators.The magefoil produces a single flower (dark blue) once every 30 days. the nectar of the flower, while not itself magical, enhances the efficacy of magical potions in which it is added (GMs use your imaginations). Generally, the nectar of at least 3-5 flowers is required for one potion.The fruit of the magefoil is fast growing and strangely, seedless. the fruit will ripen after 18 days and drop from the tree usually 22 days after pollination. The fruit itself is bitter tasting though highly nutritious, but its true value lies in that the juice can be used as a natural ink for scribing scrolls. One fruit provides enough "ink" to scribe one spell level.All attempts at cultivating the magefoil have failed. Exactly how it reproduces is unknown, although there is a widely held belief that the magefoil thrives on residual magical energies found around the dwellings of magic users as this is where the plants can most often be found, usually within 200 metres of such dwellings. This being said, the magefoil is still quite rare, and any magic user who happens to find a grove is considered to be fortunate indeed.</blockquote>
