There's a lovely apple tree up on the rooftop gardens at the apartments! I'm up there just about every other day, so I know it's new--and it's fully grown! Of course, someone could have planted a sapling and used magic to grow it so quickly, in which case I'm very jealous because there are quite a few flowers I'd like to speed up so I can see them in bloom. But the waiting is nice as well, and I like a surprise every now and then.

It's quite a sweet tree and such a bright addition! I may prune it back a bit so it has a better chance in spring, but if it's helped with magic, I suppose that may not be much of an issue.

And if you're walking the Skyhold gardens, please be careful! I think I have all of the plants cataloged with what they are, but there are still a few I'm not certain of, and certainly a few that don't enjoy being touched at all and will respond rather harshly.

I can verify that the insects are negatively affected by my cultivation magic when I play my guqin. If you find yourself in need of aid, please send up an alert and I will assist. Exorcism songs work as well as non-exorcism, provided that they be played in the correct key.

A stranger on the street remarked that the process looked like a "bug zapper", which doesn't mean anything to me but may aid you with a visual. He also yelled in a loud and insistent voice something about a "free bird", which I also don't understand.
