Shop Atmosphere

“The Brass Crucible smells faintly of oranges and ozone. Jars on the wall tick like clockwork and glow with faint, shifting colors; Merrin will tilt his head and ask 'Aren't they just delightful?' if you comment. He enjoys bartering unusual components — especially powdered dragonfly wings, which he pays double for (if you can prove they're not from a protected species). He insists on sealing every purchase in smelling-salts paper, 'for the customer and the cat.'”
