“The Luminous Phial has a cozy internal sitting area lined with plush chairs and low tables where customers may sip Mirelda's Soothing Herbal Infusion while they browse. Mirelda insists on personally testing every new stock item in small doses; the shop hums with faint arcane light and the quiet ticking of a brass timekeeper. A lazy, smoke-colored familiar cat named Soot naps on the counter and will meow politely when someone brings a dangerous-appearing ingredient into the shop. Mirelda offers minor mixing services (for a small fee) and will trade a bit of craft knowledge for stories, rare herbs, or odd trinkets — but haggling on already-prepared potions is frowned upon.”
