Those notes also mentioned that the entrance to the caverns leading to the First Crystal resembles a tree. Either way, using that attack will lead to a variety of outcomes:
Outcome 1. The destruction of the tree kills the nextwork, destroying the Crystals and wiping out life on Crystallis.
Outcome 2. We use it on the Crystal, and that provides enough power that the Calamity becomes uneccessary.
Outcome 3. Nothing happens.
Outcome 4. Something between outcomes 1 and 2, meaning there's more work to be done.

No matter what, it's a large risk.
[And Ales doesn't like risks.]
