Emily shrugs.
Well to be perfectly honest, she might actually be insane, it isn't exactly "healthy" to be around a lot of really powerful magic for very long. Can have all sorts of nasty side effects if one isn't careful. Insanity, being one of the more common ones. Though when I talked with her she seemed as sane as she ever was.
Emily thinks hard for a few moments.
But thinking about it, it doesn't sound like an awful idea. Hell I dare say its a pretty bloody brilliant one. Breed a specific creature, like a cow for example, use a bit of magic, then turn the beasts flesh into a boat. Not entirely different from planting a forest with the intent to turn the wood to ships, or using cow skin for leather armor. A major benefit is a group of animals grow much faster then a forest. Granted its a rather disgusting thought, so as much as I think its a clever idea, I think I'm going to pass on trying to copy it for myself.
