So.. I'd be more inclined to do it differently than you suggested.  Perhaps a
skill such as mining, or herbalist.  A herbalist could go out into the forest,
use his skill, and poof plants appear.  Perhaps this could just be another
effect of wood-lore.  Miners could go out (a pick axe or shovel might grant the
skill) and mine rock, and find chunks of gold or gems.  That way the items
aren't just lying out there for all to find.. you have to go into the forest
and look for them.

Neat.  Perhaps it could work like light dark.  As you look into the trees, it
gets hashed until it's black.
