Shop Atmosphere
“Merrin speaks softly and interrupts sentences to sniff the air; he insists all his tinctures 'settle for a moonrise under rock' and refuses to sell his rare Mirrorcap vials to anyone who hasn't shared a story by the hearth. He keeps a small plate of mildly enchanted mushrooms behind the counter that he tastes for quality — visitors may be offered a single sample (low-risk, mildly hallucinogenic) if they manage to make him laugh.”
