⦿ Elphame Traders
Most items listed will remain the same, but there will be 2-3 rewards each month that are only available in the month they are posted. In-game, a shop that appears empty the rest of the month will be populated by items from fae traders from Elphame. Different NPC traders will come each month as part of their duties to the kingdom of Elphame.

Please note: Recipes cannot be purchased and gifted to other characters. While single-use items can be created and given as gifts, we do ask that you respect the spirit of the rewards system and not have your character give them out en-masse. They are rewards for participation in game with activity and quests, which can be used ICly to enhance your gameplay and have a fun time with. If your character would ICly give single-use items to a friend once in a while, just remember that they do require effort and materials to make items like totems. If your character uses the totems, characters may walk through with them at the time of use. (So if y'all want to go on a vacation to Red Springs together, go for it.) The magic will last for a small handful of people, so long as they all go through at about the same time. Recipes are bound to the character magically though, since the Traders still want their money, you know? Can't have one person buy it and share with everyone else and cut into their profits!

Item Types:

Recipes Recipes are instructions to make magical items your character can use in-game. Once the character buys the recipe once, they will be able to make and use that item at any point in the game by finding and creating the item on their own.

Items Physical objects that may have some magical significance. Many can be reused. If they have limited use, it will be noted in the description.

Potions Magical concoctions that must be consumed to activate effects.

Totems Totems are special one-use items. In order to use, the totem must be burned. When burned, it will release a large amount of smoke. Walk through it and you will emerge next to a statue encrusted with magic crystals that act as beacons for that particular totem.

MONTHLY SPECIALS
(2-3 rewards that change each month.)
Vary in usefulness each month. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes cheap, sometimes expensive.

	(Item) Munch and Crunch Bag - 3pts A bag with some fierce looking teeth on the front... they're just decoration right? Well, no. It's kind of like a portable trash can. Be careful about resting your hand on it-- the teeth will bite anything that gets near it. It hungers.
	(Potion) Chameleon Facial - 8pts Put on this face mask and you'll not only have moisturized, fresh looking skin.. but it'll be so fresh, it'll be someone else's! The Chameleon Facial mask can be used to change your face to match someone else's. Does not change height or build, so use with caution. Magical effects last for 1 hour, beautiful skin will last for weeks as long as you stay hydrated.
	(Recipe) EmphaSize - 6pts Increase the size of any body part for 30 minutes. Want the bushy eyebrows of your dreams? The biggest pompadour the world has ever seen? Feel the need to "Hulk smash" with some giant fists? Cast EmphaSize! Sensitivity, flexibility, blood flow, etc. will remain the same but strength will increase proportional to size increase so it is relatively safe. However, it does not compensate for balance issues if you go too big. Can only be used on one body part / body part pair at a time. Uses a significant amount of magic to cast, so it is not recommended to cast more than once a day.

The following items will be available every month for purchase:

⦿ 3 PTS 

(Recipe) Farm Totem Transports you to an prasiolite-encrusted statue at New Camelot's extensive farmland. Has a short range- farthest distance it will work from within Camelot's city limits through the Edge of the Dusklight Woods.

(Potion) Vita Heals minor scrapes and bruises in less than a day. Prevents infection. Finicky; if improperly made, may cause insomnia. Nowhere near as effective as healing magic.

(Recipe) Dry Spell Create an invisible barrier against rain above your head. It only works from above, so don't try to use it to repel water in other ways- it won't part the seas or let you walk under water.

⦿ 4 PTS

(Recipe) Basic Potato Instantly grow a single potato in the ground with this spell, regardless of magic type. You still have to dig it up and find a way to cook it, but in an emergency, it can be a life saver.

(Item) Enchanted Pink Calcite A stone that brings peace and wellbeing by warding off nightmares. Uses magic to improve mood, often used by medical mages to assist with mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

⦿ 5 PTS

(Recipe) Camelot Totem Transports you to a bismuth-encrusted statue just outside of the city's Western gate. Works anywhere east of the dividing river, except for the Lands of Rot and the Forest of the Fisher King. One-way only. Each totem made only works once.

(Recipe) Beach Totem Transports you to a sapphire-encrusted statue on the beaches at Albion's White Cliffs, near the Rent-a-Ride Outpost. Works anywhere east of the dividing river, except for the Lands of Rot and the Forest of the Fisher King. One-way only.

(Recipe) Spring Totem Transports you to a ruby-encrusted statue just outside the gift shop at The Red Spring. Works anywhere east of the dividing river, except for the Lands of Rot and the Forest of the Fisher King. One-way only.

(Recipe) Archivist's Totem Transports you to an amethyst-encrusted statue erected just inside of the train car that leads to the Archivist's home at the edge of the Forest of the Fisher King. Works anywhere east of the dividing river, except for the Lands of Rot and within the inner areas of the Forest of the Fisher King. One-way only.

⦿ 6 PTS

(Potion) Pheromia A potion that causes about an hour of attention to be drawn to you from all living things. It is labeled for use drawing in prey for hunting, but off the label, it will make other people notice you as well. It cannot overwhelm someone's willpower or make them like you, but they will find themselves attracted to you while it is in effect.

(Recipe) Brownie Summoning Circle Brownies are faeries who come while you sleep. They will come every night after the initial summoning. They will perform household chores so you don't have to, so long as you leave small pieces of cake out for them. If the plate is ever empty when they arrive or you insult them, they will get drunk and trash your living space and not return unless you summon them again.

⦿ 7 PTS

(Potion) Moodia Causes one who consumes it to have their colors change with their emotions. Effects can last anywhere between an hour to two days.

(Item) Shopkeeper permit Open up your own business with a shopkeeper permit! Can only be purchased after you pass 2 AC rounds. Purchase this and the Elphame traders will cover set-up costs for your business regardless of location. Once approved, you can use it to register your business here.

(Service) Weapon Modification - Magic Reload The weapons of many worlds are not serviced here by ammunition shops. You only have the ammunition you arrive with. However, for a price, the Elphame Traders will modify your weapon to create its own bullets using your magic as a resource. A modified weapon draws from your energy, so extended use without finding a way to restore it may result in exhaustion. Must be purchased for each weapon it is used on.

(Item) Social Media Influencer Verification Get your social media account verified. Verified accounts can be monetized at a livable wage and are considered popular among the citizens of Camelot. These will also be listed on the Business page for player reference in case they want to know who the Influencers are. Once approved, you can use it to register your social media account here.

⦿ 8 PTS

(Potion) Everwarm Drink this to stabilize your body temperature, preventing freezing or overheating.

(Item) Lucky Coin When making a decision, flip this coin. If correctly called, you will have notable luck while enacting the called choice. If incorrectly called, there is no effect. If flipped and the results are ignored in any way, the task will be cursed with bad luck throughout.

⦿ 9 PTS

(Recipe) Wayfinder A spell that illuminates the path to the nearest establishment regardless of where you are. Very useful to those who are easily turned around. Hopefully, there is someone at the nearest structure to give you directions to where you're trying to get.

(Item) Seeds of Binding A very small bag containing 5 seeds. Plant 1 seed in the ground and it will act as a trap in a circle for about a 30 foot radius around where it is planted. Anyone who is not in the circle when it is planted will be ensnared by vines if they cross it. Those who were inside are considered friends and will not trigger any ill effects. 1 seed lasts about 6 hours. They require special soil unavailable in New Camelot to cultivate.

⦿ 10 PTS

(Recipe) Familiar Symbiosis Condense your magic for an hour by allowing your familiar to possess you. May result in mild alterations to your outfit, hair color, add parts of your familiar such as horns/ears/tail/whatever is applicable. It will increase your magic capabilities significantly during this time, but causes a huge drain of energy. While you will be a badass for an hour, you may need to sleep it off for a full day after. Recommended for emergency use only.

(Item) Soul Catcher A powerful necromancy item that can bind your soul to the soul catcher crystal for about half an hour. You cannot be physically harmed while using this item. However, your soul will be out of your body and moral judgment and emotional capacity may be impaired because of it. If the Soul Catcher crystal is broken while your soul is inside of it, you will suffer from all blows taken at once. After your soul is returned to your body, the crystal will crack and will not be usable. (One use only.)

(Item) Home Regain Regain one item or pet from home. No vehicles, teleportation/time-travel items, or otherwise game-breaking items.
