The bell above your shop door jingles softly as the afternoon sunlight streams through the dusty windowpanes, illuminating motes of magical energy dancing in the air. You straighten a crystal orb that has rolled slightly on the counter, its surface rippling with internal galaxies. The scent of cinnamon and old parchment hangs heavy in the air, mixed with the faint ozone tang of active magic.

Your fingers brush against the smooth surface of a newly arrived artifact - a small wooden music box carved with strange runes that you haven't quite identified yet. The bell jingles again, more insistently this time, as the door creaks open wider. A nervous-looking customer enters, their eyes widening as they take in the shelves lined with glowing potions, leather-bound spellbooks, and curious trinkets that seem to shift when not directly observed.

Their gaze lingers on a silver amulet hanging near the door - one that you know shows its wearer the truth about any situation. You notice their hands trembling slightly as they clutch a frayed handkerchief, and there's a faint aura of desperation surrounding them like a thin mist. The customer takes a hesitant step forward, and you recognize the look in their eyes - they've come seeking magic to solve a problem that ordinary solutions can't fix.
