I don't think there are any "sorcerous" Aldryami. That there are sorcerous plants is a given (just as there are sorcerous animals) but they are not in the Song.

Mysticism is not just refutation. There are mystics who engage with the world rather than deny it. That said a mystic tree is a solecism as all worldviews have some measure of transcendent consciousness.

I think they do _if_ they are attuned to the animist path.

The Land of the Dead.
