Shop Atmosphere

The shop smells of citrus, ozone, and sweet fermenting herbs. Shelves are arranged like the spokes of a wheel around a central counter where a glass-bound alchemical flame dances inside a brazier. Bottles clink, tiny clockwork jars tick, and a bell shaped like a mortar and pestle announces arrivals. The owner has a habit of labeling both goods and customers with colorful chalk glyphs that fade in a day. They offer a modest discount for those who bring rare reagents or a sample of their own alchemical handiwork.
