Sloshing sounds can be heard from within the jug when it is shaken, even if the jug is empty.

Afterward, you can uncork the jug as an action and pour that liquid out, up to 2 gallons per minute. The maximum amount of liquid the jug can produce depends on the liquid you named.

It seems unstable... 700 gp. Bloodwell Vial. To attune to this vial, you must place a few drops of your blood into it. The vial can’t be opened while your attunement to it lasts. If your attunement to the vial ends, the contained blood turns to ash. You can use the vial as a spellcasting focus for your spells while wearing or holding it, and you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your sorcerer spells. The bonus is determined by the vial’s rarity. In addition, when you roll any Hit Dice to recover hit points while you are carrying the vial, you can regain 5 sorcery points. This property of the vial can’t be used again until the next dawn. 300 gp. Blood of the Lycanthrope Antidote. This clear potion has dark red flecks within, resembling clotted blood.

Eversmoking Bottle Smoke leaks from the lead-stoppered mouth of this brass bottle, which weighs 1 pound. When you use an action to remove the stopper, a cloud of thick smoke pours out in a 60-foot radius from the bottle. The cloud's area is heavily obscured. Each minute the bottle remains open and within the cloud, the radius increases by 10 feet until it reaches its maximum radius of 120 feet. The cloud persists as long as the bottle is open. Closing the bottle requires you to speak its command word as an action. Once the bottle is closed, the cloud disperses after 10 minutes. A moderate wind (11 to 20 miles per hour) can also disperse the smoke after 1 minute, and a strong wind (21 or more miles per hour) can do so after 1 round. 250 gp.Wands
Parisco carries about a dozen different wands at any given point and does customization services. They are all carved of different woods, all grown in Emyran Thalor. Some are twisted and still carry much of their natural branch shape, others are so smooth you can hardly tell they were once wood. Some are flowery, some barbed, some ornately carved and wrapped in fine metal wire with gemstones electroplated on. Others are simple wood and are rather innocuous. All of these wands are one-of-a-kind, though their abilities can be replicated. Most of the wands share mechanics with the imbued wood focus. These wands are virtually as customizable as one could want, so prices vary on average from about 50-150 gp depending on the design and materials used.Arcane Supplies & Accessories
Parisco carries nearly everything an arcane spellcaster may need to operate. Fine parchment and spellscrawl ink for transcribing spells into standard spellbooks, even scribing tools such as fine dip pens and fountain pens, charcoal and graphite pencils, oil pastels, paints, and other decoration and writing materials. Parisco also offers book customization services like sprayed and gilded book edges, alternate parchment colors, glow-in-the-dark ink for easy reading in low-light environments, spellbook duplication, transferral, or backup. Among these items and services, special water and fireproof spellscrawl ink and parchment are available in the same customization options in the form of "Enduring Spellbooks" and spellbook components.

Architecture
At a glance, the exterior of this shop would blend in with any other home or business in the region. Large, old-growth flowering trees of many kinds growing in densities that should be impossible, vines of all sorts of growing over the white stone exteriors of this large, four-story building. Shrubbery is so dense that it's difficult to see a building in the first place. What sets this place apart, what draws your eye, (aside from several large signs reading in your native tongue "PARISCO'S PROVISIONS & ARCANE SUPPLY") are the floating orbs of multicolored lights, glowing crystals, and flowers, all hidden in dimly-lit, vegetation-dense areas that poke through with their unusual blue, orange, pink, and violet glows. Well, and the large, open quadruple-wide doorframes that open up into an even more impressive, unique interior.
It's almost unlike anything you've ever seen. Standing at four stories, you can see all the way up to the ceiling in this unusually open shop The shop's upper levels are made up of platforms and catwalks instead of solid flooring, allowing the wash of golden sunlight to pour in from glassless windows and skylights to touch virtually every nook and cranny of every surface in the room, only catching on the branches and leaves and petals of the trees and vines growing through every opening in the walls and ceiling. Brilliantly colored wisteria, sakura, and blue morning glories are mixed into the rich greens and browns of vines and branches, of willow and maple trees, of ivy growing down the side of the white walls.
The floors are a patchwork of multicolored hardwood. Muted purple and red, yellow and brown, even woods of bluish tint, all of the similar values have been expertly laid out, sanded, and oiled to a soft satin finish that doesn't distract from the grandeur of nature slowly taking back what once belonged to it. The joints and seams where different planks join are so precise, so meticulously sanded down that each and every connecting piece of wood feels like it would have belonged to the same tree.
Garlands of twinkling golden light hang from rafters and support beams in places where sunlight doesn't reach as much, ensuring that all facets of this eclectic shop are lit fairly, so no good or service or example of Mastercraft goes unnoticed or unappreciated. Roomy, but not too large, spiral staircases can be found through this shop. Two of them on each floor, both at opposite ends from one another. But also lifts, it appears. More rudimentary versions of the massive lifts in Iresari, and still built of the same patchwork of wood the floors and supports are.
At night, orbs of golden light illuminate the shop and interior branches, making leaves and petals glow. They remind you of the Tree of Eidlum, both in look and the feeling of wonder they give you.
In the center of the first floor is a circular service desk running around a thick tree trunk that leads all the way to the top of the building, what appears to be a support for the entire building and all the floors. Around this beam is a series of shelves that hold containers for all manner of things. Two massive glass jars filled to the brim each with small beads, each of which is labeled with its apparent contents. A sequence of containers of different sizes filled with bubbling liquids, most of which are varying reddish hues, are each outfitted with spigots that appear to be small enough to fit inside the neck of a potion bottle. The serving counter appears to hold two registers facing the front of the store, and a handful of large tomes labeled "INVENTORY."
