You have brought more light to the topic than I knew before! But then I write heroic fantasy without a whole lot of thought about the magic except to keep it internally consistent (the curse/blessing of having James Gunn as a creative writing instructor in college).
Sorry the others are making you grumpy. Berries should cheer you up.
Domestic gooseberries? What are they like? My papa liked wild gooseberry pie, they took all day to harvest enough, they slashed us like paper cuts (NOT as badly but as much as raspberries/blackberries) and no matter how much sugar one used, they were puckery evn cooked. He was the only one in the house who would eat it and once we bought the farm that they grew on, it was my duty as the wildlife/wild forage specialist to go get them once a year for a pie. goddess, I miss him! And It's been past five years.
