Why would anybody take talk to plants? You can already do that. They couldn't talk back even if you took that potion, nothing changes.
Yes but if it was clarified that you could in fact communicate with plants in a meaningful way I'd take that one in a heartbeat. You could do so much with that. Imagine being a reporter or a private investigator lol. An archeologist could just ask some trees what was going on under them. Dying of hunger or thirst? Just ask some plant what's edible or where some water is. Plenty of plants want to be eaten to reproduce anyway. Ask some fungus (if it counted as plants for magic) what the meaning of life is while you're at it
"Mr Mushroom, whats the secret of life."
"Not this again... another human got high off us and started talking to my genitals..."
Jokes aside, the ability to tell plants what to do would be sick.
I don't even think mushrooms are plants so YMMV on that one.
The user above me started that line of thinking so your reply would fit better in response to them.
