No, not spirits, the actual forest...we can hear it and it lives, protects. [It is vastly different from a spirit, but if one wanted to think of the forest in and of itself a spirit then perhaps.] Can we use magicks you mean? Most anyone can where I come from.

[It is not an inborn skill, but one that could be attained through practice and control.]

It has been this way for as long as any of us know, but the laws are so austere as to preserve our way of life. Leaving the Wood finds our senses dulled, losing our ability to communicate with the Wood is akin to losing an appendage. Given the destructive nature of other species the viera choose to interact as little with the outside world as possible, but not all feel this way.

[Fran for instance and her younger sister and a few viera here and there can be found outside of their Wood.]

I mind this not, it is only natural that you would be curious and I would be telling a lie if I said I did not have any regrets. Fortunately the viera find protection under the boughs of the trees, the Wood itself protects them like a jealous mother.
