>What all is in the Forest of Magic.
>"Thanks for keeping an eye on things here. It's been a relief."
> You recall the things that lurk in the Forest of Magic. Little sunlight penetrates the gargantuan trees, so naturally it is host to all sorts of youkai that range from the mostly harmless to the I'd-bite-your-leg-off-if-I-caught-you types. Fungi with properties only known to Marisa peek out from underneath every bush and behind every tree. Beautiful flowers pepper the forest floor. In the most dangerous areas, poisonous spores fill the air and could choke you with a single breath. There's also the harmless miasma, which according to Alice is just mana condensing in tight spaces of the forest.
> Marisa and Alice aren't the only magicians in there--there may be a handful out of the entire forest--but they're the only ones who ever leave it. Rinnosuke's shop is actually located in the safer, less wild parts of it. Since the forest contains a large percentage of the youkai population, Gensokyo would certainly be a different place without it.
