Okay question concerning Sprig and his inherited ability of time manipulation. Obviously, I have no intention of ever using this on a large scale, Sprig has never purposefully tried anything involving this particular brand of magic and has no real intention of doing so - it's kind of big and scary to him.

But he has used it on a much smaller, accidental scale many times in his life in such simple magic as healing or encouraging plants/crops to grow. He doesn't think about it, it's just how he approaches those types of magic naturally - by encouraging the natural rate of the growth/healing to speed up.

So my question is this: could he, on a small scale (and I'm talking like a few pieces here or there, not a whole garden or anything) with a little bit of experimentation, encourage some fruits/veggies to reach maturation in a much shorter time than a regular growth season? This would be something he would actually have to try with intent, so of course there would be mistakes and accidents, but would the Animus begrudge him that little bit of time manip?
