Miscellaneous8

A neatly rolled vellum scripted in soot-black ink. Useful for small magical tricks and cleaning or soiling objects.

Covers the normal uses of the Prestidigitation cantrip.

Charred glyphs flare briefly when exposed to light. Casts the Fire Bolt cantrip once when read.

Fire-flavored bolt; occasionally leaves a faint smell of ash.

A warped, heat-stained parchment. Unleashes a cone of flame when the words are read aloud.

Functions as the Burning Hands (1st-level) spell.

Ink that seems to glitter like embers. When read, outlines creatures in flickering violet light.

Functions as Faerie Fire (1st-level). Creatures outlined have advantage to hit.

A jet-black folio. Upon casting, a sphere of supernatural darkness spills out of the parchment.

Casts Darkness (2nd-level). If read by a sorcerer or warlock, might bind to their pact (DM adjudication).

Smudged runes that spark when touched. Launches three searing rays of fire.

Functions as Scorching Ray (2nd-level).

Drawings of a drake's maw gape along the margin. Grants a short-lived breath attack of a chosen energy (fire is most common here).

Functions as Dragon's Breath (2nd-level); user exhales a 15-foot cone or 5-foot by 30-foot line once.

A dark, velvety parchment that seems colder than the air around it. Conjures a blade of darkness that deals psychic-like strikes.

Tempered version of Shadow Blade (2nd-level); created blade emits faint embers along its edge.
Miscellaneous7

A small glass vial of black ink with suspended red motes. Ideal for scribing magical scrolls.

When used to scribe a scroll, grants a +1 to the scribe's check (DM discretion) or reduces time by 10%.

A feather-smooth quill that resists smudging. Favored by scribes who copy fine runes.

Grants advantage on one Intelligence (Arcana) or Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check when scribing or copying a scroll (single-use, recharges after a long rest).

Blackened silk pouch with runic stitching that muffles light inside, keeping scrolls safe from stray illumination.

AC +1Provides a +1 to checks to keep scrolls safe from accidental exposure to light-based triggers.

A folded scrap stamped with a dragon's eye sigil. Peeking through it gives fleeting impressions of a drake's memories—more curiosity than utility.

Once per day, grants the user a single, fleeting vision related to a dragon (a memory or impression). Non-combat divination; DM determines usefulness.

High-quality parchment for scroll creation. Treated to accept magical inks.

None. Necessary component for scribing scrolls.

A black candle perfumed with pepper and ash. Burns without producing smoke visible to mundane sight.

Burning for 1 hour, it suppresses minor scrying attempts (gives advantage on saving throws against divination spells cast to locate the room).

Includes ink well, 2 quills, sand for drying, and a small burnisher.

None; basic tools needed for copying and maintaining scrolls.
Potions1

A warm, viscous potion in a black-banded vial. Grants brief resistance to fire.

For 1 hour, grants resistance to fire damage (DM may limit duration for balance).

Shop Atmosphere

“The shop smells faintly of ash and old paper. Candlelight seems to cling to the inked words on display, and shadows pool a hair darker near the shelves. Erelka speaks softly, preferring to swap stories about dragons for discounts: a compelling tale of a drake's lair earns you 5% off a single item. She keeps a coiled, ornamental dragon claw on the counter that occasionally rattles when a powerful magical scroll is opened elsewhere in the city.”
