While burning (1 hour), creatures within 5 ft gain +1 to saving throws against frightened and charm effects.

A small phial of swirling twilight. Useful for rituals or creating zones of dimness.

When broken, creates an area of Magical Darkness in a 10-foot radius for 5 minutes (non-evocable by a simple light spell).

A thin iron ring inlaid with a single mote of glass that seems to contain a tiny heartbeat. Grants protection against fear.

A slim book of hushes and lullabies used to manipulate dreams and calm the undead.

Once per long rest, a reader can cast Sleep (as 2nd-level) or Spare the Dying (as cantrip) by reading from the tome aloud. Undead in 10 ft who fail a WIS save () are calmed and take -2 to attack rolls for 1 minute.

A lantern whose flame flickers between cold blue and inky black. Useful for revealing spirits and scrying nearby unseen presences.

When lit, sheds normal light in a 30-ft radius and dim light for an additional 30 ft. Invisible creatures within the bright light are outlined faintly in silver. Once per long rest, the bearer can cast Detect Thoughts () centered on the lantern for up to 1 minute.

A brittle scroll written in an ink that seems to absorb light. On use, it casts Banishment (as per 4th-level spell).

Paper-thin sigils infused with runic ink. Sticky when applied and glow faintly.

Place a sigil on a door or object to grant +2 to saving throws against possession or being frightened for 24 hours. Sigils are single-use.

A length of rope woven from spider-silk and ghost threads; nearly weightless and tougher than it looks.

Counts as a +0 climbing gear; cannot be affected by mundane wear and rot; once per day, can become intangible for 1 minute allowing one end to pass through thin barriers (<1 inch) while other end remains solid.

A small pouch of charcoal that never fully burns out. Used for rituals and enchanted forges.

Burns for 12 hours producing heat but little light; ideal for ritual components. Does not produce smoke.

Shop Atmosphere

“Edrin talks to the shop itself as if it were a patient; the shop's lamps dim slightly when he mentions certain customers. He insists that payment must be placed on the counter and allowed to 'settle' for a moment before taking it—he claims the Gloaming prefers the feel of fresh coin. He never sells more than two items that could permanently summon or bind a creature to the same buyer in a single day, and will offer a whispered warning if an item resonates too strongly with a purchaser's aura.”
