Quill & Candle: Arcana and Sundries

Meris always brews tea for customers and will only haggle if offered an odd trinket in trade (Meris collects feathers and tiny clocks). The shop smell is a plea...

Potions3

A small glass phial of rosy liquid. Heals minor wounds when drunk.

Heal 2 HPRestores HP when consumed (standard D&D 5e Potion of Healing effect, presented as 2 for book-keeping at party level).

Sticky, syrupy potion. Grants climb speed and adhesive grip for a short time.

Gives advantage on Athletics checks to climb and climb speed equal to walking speed for 1 hour.

Bitter liquid in a corked vial. Reduces effects of common venoms.

When administered, grants advantage on saving throws vs poison for 1 hour or treats the first failed save as a success (GM discretion).
Miscellaneous9

A scrap of parchment embroidered with a simple ward. Single-use cantrip scroll.

Single casting of Prestidigitation. Usable by anyone; spellcasting check required if not a caster.

Carefully scribed scroll that emits a faint protective shimmer when read aloud.

Casts Mage Armor on the reader (duration 8 hours) if read correctly. Caster check required for those without spellcasting ability.

Scroll with a trio of tiny arcane glyphs; crackles faintly when held.

Casts Magic Missile (three darts). Automatically hits.

A tube of oiled leather with a brass cap. Keeps scrolls dry and protected.

Small leather pouch containing common spell components: chalk, powdered iron, bat guano substitute, etc.

Contains components for common cantrips and 1st-level spells (no costly gems).

Small pack of tallow candles enchanted to burn steadily and faintly glow when magic is near.

When lit, candles give dim light in a 5-foot radius and faintly warm to touch; glow brightens once if within 30 ft of an active spell (detectable).

Faintly humming parchment used to learn properties of a single magic item or surface enchantments.

Casts Identify on the target item/creature. Highly useful for adventuring parties.

A fist-sized stone carved with a single rune; hums when held by someone with attunement potential.

Once per day when activated, grants +1 to one skill check of the user's choice for 10 minutes. Not an attunement item.

Meris will imbue one charge into a wand or staff (up to minor effects) once per service.

Can add 1 charge that casts a cantrip-effect appropriate to the wand (e.g., Produce Flame, Light). Not for potent items.
Weapons2

A nail-thin wand of burned oak. Produces small offensive or utility sparks on command.

Spend 1 charge to cast Produce Flame (as cantrip) or 2 charges to cast Burning Hands (as 1st-level). Recharges charges at dawn. If expended fully and mishandled, 5% chance of short circuit ( fire to holder).

A well-balanced dagger with a faintly runed pommel. Minor enchantment improves strikes.

Atk +1 to attack and damage rolls. Small scratch marks along the blade indicate long service.

Shop Atmosphere

“Meris always brews tea for customers and will only haggle if offered an odd trinket in trade (Meris collects feathers and tiny clocks). The shop smell is a pleasant mix of beeswax, old paper, and citrus; shelves are organized by color of arcane residue rather than by item function.”
