Lord of Spells from Faerûn

The Tower of Order in Waterdeep City is located in the center of the North District. It is the headquarters that controls the circulation of spells throughout Waterdeep City. All mages in Waterdeep City must come here to pay forty gold coins to obtain the qualifications to use spells in Waterdeep City.

Imrik came here firstly to acquire spells, and secondly to register as a mage. In fact, it was illegal when he used suggestion on Marbury just now.

"Mr. Mage, are you here to register information?" The receptionist in the Tower of Order lobby asked the black-robed mage in front of her with a smile.

"Yes, by the way, do you sell any spells here?"

The reception lady was overjoyed. There was a commission for introducing the mage to the purchase. This was also the source of extra income for most of the reception girls here.

She said enthusiastically: "Of course, Mr. Mage, after registering the information, I will take you to the trading area of ​​the Tower of Order. You fill in the information first."

She handed out a piece of paper, and Imric scanned it. It probably contained common information such as name, age, and professional level. He wrote it down and handed it to the other party.

The receptionist couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the level Imrik filled out was a fifth-level mage. Even in Waterdeep City, there are very few mages who have been exposed to the third ring, let alone such a young man.

She couldn't help but be even more happy. The higher the level of the mage, the more expensive the items purchased, and the higher her commission. So she happily shouted: "Ruilis! Come to the front desk to receive me, I want to take the customer to the trading area!"

Along the way, the receptionist kept introducing Imrik: "A large number of magic items are circulated in the trading area of ​​the Tower of Order every day. Although our official store does not have so many types, there are all the common spells. In addition, In addition, there are many other individual mages selling stalls here.

If you don’t find what you need, you can look for it among the individual traders in the trading area. You will often find surprises. In addition, counterfeiting is strictly prohibited in the Tower of Order. Therefore, if you encounter someone cheating when trading, you can report it immediately to the Tower of Order. The tower will give you a reporting reward of 500 gold coins plus ten times the transaction amount as compensation. "

When you arrive at the trading area, the first thing you see is a huge glass door. After entering, you will find a dazzling array of products. If you want to reach the area for individual traders, you only need to go through another glass door of the official store and exit to the circular long street. that is.

Imric planned to go shopping in this official store first. It must be said that Waterdeep City is indeed the overlord of the North. The number of spell items in this official store was so dazzling that Imric used one at random. Detecting magic, the auras shining everywhere almost blinded him.

For example, there was a ring in the ring counter that was shining with a fierce red aura. Imric took a look at it with detection magic and was simply frightened.

"Command Fire Element Ring", this ring is very powerful. First of all, no creature in the fire element plane can attack the holder, nor can it come within five feet of the holder, and the holder can charm the other person to work for him. Success rate depends on charisma.

If a creature in the fire elemental plane attempts to attack the holder, it will be punished by powerful rules, such as level reduction, attribute reduction, etc.

Secondly, this ring, like a spell storage ring, gives the holder powerful spell-like abilities:

Constant greater resistance to energy damage (fire), burning hands (unlimited times), flaming orb (twice/day), pyrotechnics (twice/day), wall of fire (once/day), flame strike ( Twice/week).

Wearing this ring, the holder will gain the respect of all fire element creatures, but as a side effect, it will attract the hatred and disgust of all water element creatures.

In order to cast this powerful ring, the mage must spend 200,000 gold coins to enchant it successfully, and in this official store, the price of this ring is 400,000 gold coins!

Imrik looked at this ring with envy, and secretly made up his mind to wear four different types of command element rings on his left hand in the future.

In addition, there are many kinds of wands, staffs and scepters in the store, especially some of the scepters, which are more expensive than the command element ring you just saw!

Imric casually browsed the counter of wands. For him, whether it was a disposable wand or a rechargeable wand, they were of little use. What he needed was a wand that could give the user various abilities. Scepter.

Especially the most powerful scepter - the high-level metamagic scepter, which allows the user to use metamagic feats without the need for level-up spells. Each expertise can be used three times a day. This kind of scepter can only be crafted with precision. Only a master-level mage can produce it. It can be said that it is expensive but not marketable. But even so, there are still many high-level mage offering millions of gold coins to buy it.

For Imric, this kind of scepter is also what he needs. The characteristics of the Endless Book can give the holder to use any feat at no cost, but only one can be used each time. If Imrik When multiple metamagic techniques are needed to amplify a spell, the help of a metamagic wand is needed.

Sighing at the high price of the scepter, Imric came to the counter of the spell scrolls and selected them one by one.

Charming humans, yes, fireball spell, yes, commanding undead, yes, smelly cloud spell, yes?

Imric picked for a long time before finally finding two spells that had not been copied, the third-ring spell Stinky Cloud and Underwater Breathing.

These two spells are also popular among the three-ring spells. The Stinky Cloud spell was the spell used by the evil magician Kallis that day. It summoned a large cloud of foul-smelling gas, and any creature that breathed in it would be smelly by the gas. Unable to move.

Another spell is also a popular purchase among adventurers. It can designate up to ten creatures at a time to have the ability to breathe underwater for 24 hours. It is simple and crude, and is also the first choice of many maritime professionals.

As the level increases, the number of high-level spell scrolls becomes less and less. First, the market for high-level spell scrolls is not large, and the profit is far less than that of making low-level spells. Second, the unit price is too high and the cost is too high. Third, because mages can The principle of transcribing spell scrolls is that most high-level mages are unwilling to leak out various rare high-level spells, and have tacitly blocked these advanced magical knowledge together.

Therefore, even the Tower of Order only sells spell scrolls of levels one to three.

After searching all over, he only found two third-level spells. Imrik could only place his hope in the commercial streets of individual traders.

He walked out of the official store, and as soon as he took a look, he saw mage wearing mage robes opening a small stall and guarding it alone.

Different from the official shops, compared with the dazzling array of gorgeous products there, the products at these stalls are of uneven quality. It can be said that it is completely dependent on luck. Imrik even saw a stall with only a few one-ring spell scrolls. .
