Potions1

A small glass phial with a warm, rosy liquid. Restores a quick surge of vitality.

Heal 7 HPHeals HP when consumed (average 7). Common magic item.
Miscellaneous3

A parchment with ink that seems to shimmer like mist. Casts fog cloud once when read.

Single use: casts fog cloud (concentration up to 1 minute). If reader can't cast the spell, there's a 10% chance the scroll burns up harmlessly.

A thin vellum scroll that allows the reader to sense magic for a short time.

Single use: grants the effects of detect magic for up to 10 minutes (no concentration required when used from the scroll).

A tightly rolled parchment that radiates a faint warmth. Can sway a humanoid's disposition for a short time.

Single use: casts charm person. If used by someone who can't cast the spell, there is a 5% chance of the scroll backfiring (harmless but the user is charmed for 1 minute instead).
Miscellaneous4

An iron-headed torch that produces a steady magical flame without consuming fuel. Safe to dip in water — flame persists.

Provides light as a normal torch; flame is magical and doesn't consume fuel. Can be smothered or dispelled.

A leather pouch stocked with common spell components for low-level spellcasters: chalk, sulfur, a pinch of iron filings, and small glass vials.

Holds components that aren't consumed by spells; contains a few common one-time components (costs replaceable).

A length of fine silk rope favored by sailors and acrobats alike; less bulk, easier to coil.

Functions as masterwork rope: easier to handle for climbing and rigging. Can be treated with a waterproofing spell for an extra 5 gp.

A deep-blue ink used to write scrolls with a hint of ocean scent; ink improves scroll durability.

Scrolls written with this ink have a +5% chance to resist destruction from failed casting checks.
Miscellaneous3

A palm-sized glass orb filled with slow-moving phosphorescent liquid. Can float and cast light.

While held, can cast the light cantrip at will. Once per day can cast daylight (self only).

A smooth, iridescent pearl the size of a large olive. Restores a single spell slot for spellcasters once per day.

Once per day, the holder regains one expended spell slot of up to 1st level. (Maris warns: works best for arcane or prepared casters.)

A brass compass that always points to the nearest safe harbor the owner considers 'home' (metaphysical).

When attuned (takes 1 hour), it points toward the nearest location the attuned person has strong ties to (village, ship, person) within 100 miles; otherwise points true north.
Miscellaneous1

A battered ebony wand wrapped with silver wire. Shoots small pinprick motes of force.

Has 4 charges. Spend 1 charge to cast a single magic missile (as a 1st-level casting). Regains charges daily at dawn. If reduced to 0 charges, there's a 15% chance it crumbles.
Miscellaneous1

A knee-length cloak woven from fabric that flitters like sea foam. Keeps wearer dry and slightly elusive in wet weather.

AC +1While the hood is up in rain or sea spray, grants +1 to Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to move quietly or hide in wet environments (DM discretion).
Miscellaneous1

A tin of gritty aromatic salve. Clears eyes and sharpens focus for a short duration.

Applied to the eyes: advantage on Perception checks relying on sight for 10 minutes, once. Causes mild stinging.

Shop Atmosphere

“Maris whistles old sea shanties while arranging items; she always offers a 'splash discount' (5% off) if a customer tosses a coin into the shop's little indoor fountain and can tell a true sea story. She keeps her ledger bound in kelp leather and occasionally talks to a small enchanted shell behind the counter as if it answers back.”
