All other initiates used a flower to power their spells, but Yennefer was unable to use magic at all. Yennefer is then brought to the garden, where Tissaia demonstrates the use of magic one can channel "chaos" to make things happen, but not without a price, as demonstrated when one initiate had her arm shriveled up in the attempt.
