Alchemy in a Purgatory Forest tile

Liemannen happened to be on a Purgatorian Forest tile when they bought Alchemy skills. Wiki doesn't mention anything about forest being Alchemy spot, wiki has a definitive list for alchemy-able places, but in this tile alchemy can be done even though it is not on that list. Alchemy isn't possible in similar looking forest tiles around it.
Forest (17, 28 Purgatorio, a Forest, Neighborhood: Forlorn Hope Mountains)

You are standing outside of Forest. This area is filled with rocks, scraggly underbrush and the trunks of short evergreen trees. A colorful range of mountain flowers grow amidst the underbrush. A clearing and the remains of firepits and camps indicate where a wagon train once stopped for some time. What appears to be a shrub made of wrought iron has overgrown most of this location, its thin tendrils covered in protective spikes and the thin, black needle clusters at the end of each of its shoots appearing as small, spiked sea urchins. The light in the area is dim, and faint motes of light twinkle in the sky. Several dried spatters of a deep red liquid are present here.

Someone has written Secret Shadow Druid Grove, keep out! in green chalk on a rock here.
Barricades erected on the North edge of this area keep out those who do not share your commitment to Moral Freedom.
Barricades erected on the West edge of this area keep out those who do not share your commitment to Moral Freedom.
Located here is a Hollow Log.
Was this tile something else during planning or is it a secret Druid Grove where evil druids can do alchemy without people noticing?

Or is this "A clearing and the remains of firepits and camps indicate where a wagon train once stopped for some time." the thing that makes alchemy possible here?

there's a font at those coords, i believe that's ironshrub, a piercing aspect font

i guess you can't see its icon on the map? no sense magic? awareness of a font should probably be a prereq for doing alchemy at it but we'll call that low priority for the time being

Yeah, no Sense Magic and no mysterious icons on map. No idea what font you are talking about. Wiki has no mentions of fonts or ironshrubs either.

Ironshrubs are a type of font with piercing affinity.
Fonts allow you to perform Alchemy on that tile so, working as intended.

Not a bug, towing this to Squashed.
