Line 85:
** At the end of Robert Jordan's ''The Eye of the World'', we meet the Green Man. {{spoiler|The Green Man keeps a chunk of earth free from the blight with his power to make things grow. While he is dying, he tackles one of the Forsaken and makes a giant tree grow out of the forsaken's chest in a matter of minutes.}} It is also mentioned in backstory that the Green Man's people, the Nym, caused plants to grow where they walked.
** This ability is also available to anyone who can channel (whether good or evil) and knows the necessary [[Geometric Magic]].
** At the beginning of ''Towers of Midnight'', Rand descends from Dragonmount after resolving his internal conflict and makes an entire orchard of [[How Do You Like Them Apples?|apples]], which had been shriveled by the Dark One's touch, bloom instantly. Later, he makes bitter tea turn fresh just by entering the same room. It gets to the point in the book where virtually everyone can tell when Rand is near, simply because the sun starts shining, and everything starts blooming like there's no tomorrow (though this is purposely excluded in a capital city ruled by one of his lovers).
** All of this is because of the prophecy stating that [[Fisher King|the Land is one with the Dragon]]. The spoilage of previous books is because of him moving towards the darkness.
* The unicorns do this in [[Pamela Dean|Pamela Dean's]] ''Secret Country'' books, although they are creatures of capricious morality. One of the children call the trail of blossoms "unicorn footprints" and her sarcastic brother immediately redubs them "fewmets".
