Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells of old paper and jasmine ink. Shelves are organized by school of magic rather than alphabet, and small handwritten labels in several languages mark each shelf. A bell shaped like a quill hangs above the door; when rung once by a customer, an invisible drawer opens in the counter and a polite hover-script fetches a small sample of ink appropriate to their studies. The shop accepts trade for unusual notes, signatures from local archmages, or components as partial payment.”
