Such substances tend to require few and simple transmutations to produce. And there's less of a chance of side effects."
A nod of understanding preceded yet another of what might seem to be an endless barrage of questions. "A solution designed for plant life, you said?" she began, her interest being taken by the first overt mention of practical application. "Now.. Would that be more akin to fertilizer or would it create visible results in a brief window of observation? ..And since we were speaking of side effects just now, how safe would it be to consume said vegetable matter after an application of a given solution given how more mundane chemicals can be transferred by consumption such as some pesticides or heavy metals from aquatic life in polluted areas?" she asked. To her it seemed like a legitimate concern given that they were on the subject of contamination, after all.

Besides, it was unlikely that one wanted to turn into a four-armed slug after biting into one too many apples one day or something.
