Shop Atmosphere

“Bramble keeps a steady pot of nettle-tea brewing and insists customers explain why they want risky spells before he sells high-level scrolls. The shop smells of ink, lemon oil, and singed parchment; a sleepy barn-owl named 'Cinder' sleeps on a shelf. Bram will haggle moderately for rare inks or exchange a favor (knowledge of a unique spell or a rare component) rather than coin. He catalogs every sale in a small leather ledger bound with protective runes — ask politely and he may tell you what scrolls recently traded hands.”
