Where: The Seyrunn Shop of Sorcery
What: Business at a magic shop

The Seyrunn Shop of Sorcery had two selling points that distinguished them from other magic shops in the city: the magic amulets with spells pre-loaded into them, and Brass Rackets - a sport from the co-owners' world that used enchanted rackets. Neither item required magic ability. Other wares in the shop, such as their selection of magical herbs, ritual items, and other supplies, were for people who were actually magic users. However, the amulets could be used by anyone as a self-defense item against the Darkness monsters, and the rackets depended on the user's strength of will and force of personality.

At the moment, Phibrizzo was placing some of the magic amulets in a sturdy clear glass cabinet that locked. Spotting someone approaching him from the side, he turned to greet them.

"Hello. What can I do for you, today?"

"Xellos and I put a magic barrier on the target to save us money and clean-up time when people want to try out a spell," explained Phibrizzo. "Then people can see how the spell works and what it looks like when it's being cast, but we don't have to keep buying targets, or sweeping up ashes."

He wouldn't have been nearly as willing to let people try the spells out, nor would he have offered. However, magic was the sort of thing that made people curious, whether they liked to admit to that curiosity or not. And once they saw that they could have that kind of power at their fingertips...well, that was just good business.

Tonegawa nodded. "Yes, I can see how that makes sense." Good business sense. Saving on expenses. Maximising profits. All money talk, which was something he could focus on without any trouble whilst holding a magical amulet that shot fire arrows (into an equally magical barrier which disperses them).

That said... he glanced down at the amulet again, looking thoughtful. As appealing as the raw macho potential of setting something alight at a word was, it wasn't quite as elegant as he'd have liked a personal defense weapon to be- but it still intrigued him. He couldn't monopolise Laforet's time now that they were on icy territory, after all...

"Are you selling the barriers, too?" he asked quickly. "If you're selling a weapon, you'll want to sell the matching defenses, too."

"We are taking custom orders," said Phibrizzo. "Casting one of the ice spells can cancel out one of the fire spells if you know it's coming - or fire magic of approximately equal power. And vice versa. We don't have barriers in amuelt form yet, but we could set them on specific things. A little more like our Darkness proofing services, except it can defend against magic and elemental damage."

It was an idea that he and Xellos could work on together, though. He did know of a defense spell they could store in such a way, but something that would automatically defend the wearer would take a little more work. Still, it wasn't much different than magic armour, he supposed.
