On The Shelves
I bet you've never seen such a big collection of potions.
Truthfully, I've never seen a collection of potions. I don't see much magic around nowadays.
I understand. We tend to keep to ourselves. There's a lot of judgment around these parts, a lot of people scared of our powers. But we're everywhere, as long as you know where to look.
It's remarkable, truly. Please, do tell me about some of these potions.
Potions
Rows upon rows of potions line the lower shelves. They sit in specially made indentations in the wood, so they don't roll off.Each one has a small label, written in a language you cannot understand. As you run your finger along the gold-encrusted letters, they morph into a tongue familiar.

Ornaments
In the centre of the room is a spiralling stand, displaying all manner of ornaments and artifacts.In the middle is the most peculiar figurine of a priestess. She is holding a candle and a book, and has a stern look on her face.
You silently reach out to pick it up. "Do not touch!" you hear echoing from another room.
Books
You look around and notice a stack of books covered in dust. They are buried behind a stand, with no labels. You can barely make out three book titles.
Beginner's Guide to Summoning Spirits
At the top of the pile, this book's cover features a group of six spirits. One looks particularly vengeful.

How to Provide for your Familar
This seems to be a detailed guide on taking care of your magical companions. It looks like a good book.

History of Magical Oppression
This book seems to have at least five hundred pages. It is at the bottom of the pile, covered in dust so thick the title is barely legible.

Come over here and take a look at my sticker collection. I travel around the galaxies collecting mementos of my travel.
Oh, wow. There's got to be a few hundred here, right?
Take another guess, dear. You're looking at three times that amount. I'm over five hundred years old, see? I've been to hundreds of realms, thousands of planets and moons. Take a sticker if you'd like, I've got spares.
Wands
In a holder next to the staircase is a stack of wands, cut from word with gold and silver engravings. Some have flowers, vines, and feathers attached to the base.Take a wand! Those ones are cheap.

Did you get one?
A voice rang from elsewhere. You turn around and see the shop owner walk into the room, now wearing giant metal glasses with a pink lens. You giggle, and he notices.
What are you laughing at? Do you like my glasses?
They're great, really. I'm looking at this wand.
You lift up the wand, rolling it in your hand for the witch to see. You see a small grin on his face, eyes lighting up.
What a good choice! It's a bit small though, don't you think? Grab my wand, it's much bigger.
Your cheeks turn red, stuttering as you try to get your words out.
I- Erm... what?
...My wand, the one in my hand. Hold both at the same time. See? What you're getting is a beginner's wand. It can't channel much magical energy, which makes it perfect for you!
He giggles, tapping his shoes on the ground. You notice his fingers are slightly touching your hands, as his hands hover under yours.
So... you like this one?
I love it, it's perfect for me.
You look up, smiling. Your eyes lock, and you quickly look back down at your wand.
Wonderful, but before we do that, maybe I could give you a tour of the whole shop? Come, follow me.
