Seishinuta Trees

Seishinuta trees are trees with an outer appearance similar to aspens- white bark and green or yellow leaves. The leaf shapes are spear and palmate leaves, the palmate leaves belonging to the upper branches and the spears to the lower. These trees are often sought out for its unique herbal properties, and special items can be crafted from it. These tall trees grow in patches and can be found within forests. They are never their own forest and cannot grow without other types of trees near it.

Uses

Seishinuta sap

The sap of a seishinuta tree has multiple uses. It can be smelted into seishinglass, or can be used in herbal mixtures. It is often found at the trunks of seishinuta trees, and are poisonous to prey such as rabbits, songbirds, and mice.

Seishinglass

Seishinglass are created from the mixture of smelted seishinuta sap and hikari. If plain sunlight shines on the sap, it will make plain seishinglass. If the hikari is colored, then the glass will be stained in that color. Seishinglass is stronger than glass made from sand and will give off a smell smaller predators don't like, such as snakes and birds of prey. The portions that had light shining directly onto it functions like normal glass- it can be seen through and still has normal seishinglass durability. But the sides with no direct light cannot be seen through- If you look at the glass from the darker sides you only see dark grey.

Sieshinuta flute

Seishinuta flutes are made from the wood of seishinuta trees, and when played in certain ways can allow the player to see certain kinds of spirits. If there is any bit of bark on the flute, it just acts like a normal flute and does not bring forth any spirits. These flutes are commonly used in temples to facilitate certain types of worship.
