"This is disappointing," Cael said, examining a sapphire brooch through a glass showcase.
The brooch was pretty and well-made. A simple magic spell gave it additional glow and made a moving image of a fish swimming inside. It was worth buying as a gift for a woman, which was why Cael looked at it…
But he knew Ginevra would've liked it much more if the brooch also had a more useful and powerful ability. Like creating a magic shield, or storing spells!
The most disappointing part was that every other magic item Cael saw here was on about the same level.
The store's owner hovered around Cael, fawning on and on about something which Tarek didn't even bother to translate. The middle-aged summoner looked more and more irritated by a minute.
