White Horse City's army was setting out tomorrow morning, so Soren visited the Arcane Shop early to buy several essential Spell Scrolls.
Most of the loot in his hands had already been sold off, earning him nearly 1,000 Gold Dalers. It sounded like a lot of money, but it vanished after buying only a few things. Wizards spent money at a rate far beyond imagination. Soren bought a scroll of the 2nd-level Spell Invisibility, and it alone cost him 300 Gold Dalers.

The other 1st-level Spells could wait. Invisibility was currently
