Magical Words in Bloodhelm

In most roleplaying games there are magical scrolls to be had, with magical words that can do just about anything if you find the right one.  Though I wasn't keen on handing out such things in my world, I knew that my players would eventually go looking for some, so I threw in the shop Magical Words.

Magical Words is a two story building, living area on the second floor, the business on the first.  Owned by Gene and Thera Wordsmith, the pair of raised three fine mages and two priests of Catiana.  The paper is made by Thera and Gene makes all the expensive inks used to create these magical wonders.  They use to go out and collect the rare ingredients themselves, when they were young and full of adventure, but now they buy from a local supplier, which makes their scrolls just a little more expensive.  They can create all sorts of mage and priest scrolls, but will not do evil spells or curses.  Thera will talk a person's ear off, if they let her, but then she will give them a better price if they do.

Prices will be about 10% above the norm, but they are guaranteed never to fail.  If they don't work, Thera and Gene will refund the person's money and give them a new scroll.  Players who abuse the pairs kindness are put on a black list and may be sought after by the pair's children for retribution.
