The Book of life store(open to all)

The book of life is a store that sells books, mostly for enchanters or young wizards. The selection is rather low and the books are random as if they have a will of their own. No one can just demand a type of spell from a book. The owner is a rather dashing young wizard, even for a human could almost be mistaken for an elf. But the books change every week, the choices are always different when one comes in.


Marga came in to this store rather smelly and she couldn’t help but sigh at the fact she was worked like a dog. She was hopping she had enough for a book, she needed something to take her mind off the work she did today. Making her way through the store she tried to find a book that was for enchanters only. but her search was in vain she didn’t see any thing.

Marga was too impatient to wait to see what books where in stock that she actually left before the young wizard could get to her, which for her she didn’t really care she needed a room to stay in for the night. She also needed a bath so she went straight for the in after leaving the store in a rather quick hurry. Poor elf girl she was going to need so much time bathing to get this stench off her. (exit)

((An NPC will pop in to say what you got for spells when you buy a spellbook of any kind.))

Sidney enters the book shop and browses for spell books. He figures it would be helpful to get an enchantment or two in order to help fight on his own. He finds a basic spell book and takes it to the desk. He takes 2k and pays for it. He hangs around the shop to read the book so he can see what spells are in it. If he doesn't see something he wants he'll just buy another basic spell book in hopes of getting something better.

(The book contains information on Will's Edge 4, Will Bolt 1, and Light Healing Enchantment 4)

Sidney looks through the book. He sees one that interests him in particular and another he is curious about. Time would tell but he thinks he was pretty lucky with the spell book he had just bought. He is about to go up to the man and ask for him to enchant them but remembered that he had to buy a sapphire per enchantment. He figured that Glaidus would have some and maybe he could sell his space ore he had found while he was there as well.

Sidney leaves the shop.

Sidney comes back into the shop holding the spell book he had bought and the two sapphires that he had bought. He walks up to the counter. "Hello. I would like the two level 4 spells in here enchanted into these sapphires." He then lets the man take the sapphires and the spell book and watches as the man enchants the sapphires. He then tells Sidney that Sidney needs to pay him 8k for his services which Sidney pays without complaining.

Sidney then leaves the shop.

(Short and sweet post here)

Alexi enters the shop and picks out 4 books that are all novice spellbooks and marked at 2k per book. She takes them to the counter and pays for them before leaving again.

Enye was visibly uncomfortable as he walked into this particular store. He had never been fond of magic or spells, and wizards tended to creep him out. He wanted out of this place as soon as possible. "Hello yes, I'm here to pick up something for Gladius?" He said as he stood awkwardly near the handsome wizard. The wizard smirked a bit and handed him a sack. It felt fairly heavy but they were enchanted gems, after all. "Thank you." Enye said quickly as he did an about-face and speed walked out of the store.

I walk into the store taking a glance around at the place, my eyes moving over books and the like before making my way to the counter hoping to find a store clerk. I knew I couldn't afford anything here but not all valuable things come from spending gold.

Upon looking around Loci would notice an elven man who looked relatively happy, on a ladder checking out some of the dusty books at the top of one of the bookcases. There was also a grumpy looking elven woman seated behind the counter. She looks up and sees Loci, upon seeing that she is elven she seems to have a more pleasant look about her. Hello, welcome to our shop. Is there anything that I can help you with?

"Hello Ma'am," I nod at the man, "Sir, how are you both? I'm just browsing for now I'm afraid. My wallet is a little light, right now, though when I get the chance I hope to get some supplies here. I'm more or less planning a supply list right now and gathering a little information. I won't beat around the bush, where I'm from, I was studied in some controversial magics. However life...and many deaths...has managed to strip me of all my supplies, spellbooks, and the like. What do you have that you would recommend I should get to restart my studies in the Magical Arts? Also, how much do you know of the local government...or is it a monarchy here? I'm quite new as you could probably tell.

The grumpy looking woman behind the counter smirks hearing what Loci has to say and ask. Controversial magics? Like my use of blood magic? You can come out and say whatever it is. We're not as judgmental as the others in this city.

The man climbs down from the ladder and looks at Loci with the same happy look on his face at Loci, And also, if we know what kind of magic you deal in, we can find supplies that are much better suited for your needs. As for the government here. In this city it is kind of a less harsh form of Feudalism where the land is owned by Frederick von Ronsenberg, although we also own this shop and can do as we please here. I guess you can say that this is true as long as we keep up with paying taxes. Humus itself is a sort of a Monarchy with a Council that makes most of the decisions for the king as the old king's mental state has rapidly decayed over the past couple of decades.

"Hmm maybe I'm being a little trusting here, but I'll tell you, I'm a necromancer...well I was one, I was using my teacher's materials and when he died of plague it only seemed fitting I bury the tools with him. As for the government, that's interesting. I'll look into that a bit later. For now let's focus on supplies. Oh and I now that I think of it, I have this, perhaps it'll amuse you, I'm not sure. Never was a staff person, you may know more about it than I." I pull out the Staff and lay it on the counter, "From what I understand it's pretty basic in it's current condition."

The woman behind the counter looks intrigued and the man's facial expression doesn't change any. The woman speaks, Necromancy? Well isn't that interesting Brother? Yes, you'd be wise to be careful as to who you tell that too, fortunately this is one place that you are free to talk about any kind of magic practice.

Interesting indeed Sister. Now, are you looking for a wand, staff or tome as your primary magic focus? Also, are looking for new spells or something to contain your own original spells?

The woman grimaces slightly at the sight of the staff. Oh my, they're still handing those things out?

The man kind of chuckles Well, there is a plus side to the staff, while it doesn't necessarily do a lot of damage it does a little bit of physical damage and does a little bit more magic damage so it can hit things shielded from magical or physical damage, but that's about all there is for a positive with that.

"Well in terms of a focus, I think the most applicable would be a wand so long as it sheath's a knife or dagger. I say this because sometimes necromancy can call for a custom designed body. I would personally like something to contain some custom spells. Though I'm not opposed to some premade ones considering I don't have any of my old ones right now. Since I left them in my old Master's spellbook. I may get a tome too, but that may come later."

I must say, I like your style. says the woman before the man speaks up. Yes, well. If that is what you want we do have something of the sort in stock, it's not overly expensive either seeing as it is a much poorer conductor of magic than a wand that is solid through. I would suggest simply carrying a wand and a knife, however the choice is yours. The wand with a concealed knife would be one thousand gold at the cheapest while a blank spellbook with no special properties would be free with a purchase of one thousand or more gold, or 200 by itself.

I nod in response, "As predicted it is out of my price range for now, though that is of little consequence. I think the purchase of a blank spellbook may put me on a path to easier money once I design a few spells to assist me on my travels." I hand over the 200 gold with a smile.

(Going to need info on spellmaking, rules, do's and don'ts, and how to go about it.)

The woman exchanges the book for the gold from Loci. The Spellbook has fifty pages. Well, there you go. Another good way to get money would be to help the expansion of the railway, or to help the farmers that have recently been plagued by dragon attacks. Any missions like that can be picked up from the quest notification board. I haven't figured out why they would attack farms though. The brother is quiet as she mentions the latter part as he seems to be perplexed by this as well.

(And if the quests aren't there I can make one for you and put it there.)
