Potions2

A cloudy vial that mends shallow wounds. The liquid smells faintly of rain on stone.

Heal 1 HPAfter drinking, the holder hears a soft voice whisper the name of someone they've recently met (harmless, lasts 1 minute).

A small black-stoppered vial. Drinking it warms the limbs and clears minor afflictions.

Removes a single condition such as fatigue or a minor curse (as lesser restoration). The potion leaves a faint luminescent skin mark that fades in 24 hours.
Miscellaneous4

A thimble-sized glass with a small amount of ashen dust. Sprinkling it grants a minor occult boon.

Each sprinkle grants +1 circumstance bonus to Perception checks to notice undead or hidden doors for 10 minutes. After final use, the user dreams briefly of being buried (harmless).

A small obsidian token carved like a crescent moon. People smile nervously when they see it.

Once per day grants a +1 luck bonus on one d20 roll chosen after the roll (usable only after the roll is revealed). Tends to attract moths and shadows for an hour afterward (harmless).

Slim black candles that burn with an almost soundless flame. Used in rites or as atmospheric light sources.

When lit during a short ritual (10 minutes), the candles extend the user's darkvision by 10 feet for 1 hour or grant dim light sight in total darkness (one use).

A water-resistant leather tube with faded streets drawn along the side. Keeps papers dry and slightly muffles sound within.

Contents are 1 step quieter when opened (useful for stealthy reading).
Weapons3

A well-balanced spear with faintly etched runic lines. Superior crafting yields better handling.

Atk Grants +1 to attack rolls (masterwork). Occasionally emits a soft chime when undead are nearby (flavor only).

A plain, serviceable short sword with a dull finish. Reliable for a starting adventurer.

A compact crossbow with a polished stock and balanced limbs. Easier to aim than a mundane counterpart.

Atk On a natural 20, the crossbow emits a 1-second glimmer and a faint sigh (cosmetic).
Armor2

Flexible leather reinforced with small metal studs. Common among scouts and rogues.

AC +3

A dark, hooded cloak that seems to drink light. When worn, it brushes softly as though wind passes through.

AC +1Grants +1 circumstance bonus to Stealth checks when in dim light or darkness. Occasionally mutters an irrelevant, eerie phrase aloud (harmless).
Miscellaneous2

A parchment rolled tight with sigils. Invoking it creates a brief magical shield.

AC +4When used, grants the caster a +4 shield bonus to AC for 1 round (as the spell). The scroll crackles faintly afterward and leaves behind a tiny black soot that won't wash off for 1 hour.

A thin scrap of paper that hums faintly when magic is near.

Functionally detects magical auras as the spell. Aftercasting, the reader's left thumb bears a pale crescent mark for 24 hours (flavor).

Shop Atmosphere

Maris constantly hums an odd lullaby and arranges items so their shadow points toward the back room. She offers a 'helpful charm' with every purchase: a single whispering coin (worthless as currency) that once per day gives a short, useful hint about the nearby area — always phrased enigmatically. She insists on wrapping purchases in black tissue and stamping them with a crescent of wax; customers occasionally report odd dreams after buying multiple items in one visit (harmless, flavourful).
