Soft leather boots infused by a minor enchantment to lighten wearer’s step.

Reduce falling damage by once per long rest and grant +2 to Dexterity (Stealth) checks in soft ground at DM discretion. Uncommon.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop smells faintly of lavender and ozone. Shelves are a chaotic but deliberate jumble — every item has a labeled ribbon. Merrin greets customers by offering a tiny demonstration: a puff of glittering smoke or a levitating teacup. He often barters with services (lessons in minor spells) rather than straight coin for low-cost goods, and keeps a hidden drawer of 'special orders' for discreet clientele.
