Shop Atmosphere

The shop is crowded with mismatched shelves, and every item has a tiny handmade price tag written in cramped tiny script. The owner will haggle, but only if you show a genuine smile. A brass bell rings once when the shopkeeper is distracted; when rung twice quickly the proprietor will produce a free sample item from under the counter (usually a single common spell component or a broken glowchalk).
