Ah. 

And on to another question. It's not directly related in any way to character building. I just like knowing things about worlds people make. So feel free to tell me to stop. ;)

So, if magic is natural in this way, as in, anyone can reach out and grasp it, and there are some magical creatures of the ordinary variety, does this mean that magical use is along the lines of anything can use it, some things just really aren't going to grasp that fact or have any need to? Like say.... A tree. Could a tree theoretically use magic? Insofar as I know, a tree does not have any sentience as we'd recognise it, but they can, and will, develop natural defenses. Could an ordinary tree, over the course of time and a few generations, develop defenses (or seed spreading tactics) that utilise this magic in much the same way as a redwood has thick bark against fire or an acacia has thorns against browsers? Could a regular animal manage this? 

You may have answered this earlier.

In a fantasy sense, all creatures are just that: creatures. Nothing fantastical about them. Yep, that bug may be able to spontaneously set its body on fire, but it's just like any other bug. Yep, that's a lion-eagle (Griffin), so what? They fly around occasionally.In a supernatural sense, some creatures do have a closer connect to magic and the occult, but not in any civilized sense. They don't practice any formal magic or spells. Some of the stranger creatures are just a little more magical, in comparison to our world, but again, it's natural and normal in their realm.

In fact, rereading, I think you did. But I'll continue to ask nonetheless, for further details. :) 

I'm mainly wondering how the non-sentient creatures interact with the magic. Is it an evolutionary adaptation for a tree to have thorns that can put someone to sleep forever(uhhh yeah, my creativity died there, carry on), or a hare to be able to jink a little farther than physically possibly when trying to evade a hunting dog? Or do these things need to be added through human interference? Or is it nothing more than an occasional awkward flub, courtesy of the magic itself?
