I'll be selling hair dye again, for those who needed it. Other spell services are also available. Transport spells are a particular specialty.

[thewildone]

Are you saying you sell magic hair dye?

[conesoldstober]

That would be exactly what I'm saying, yes.

[thewildone]

Well I just need bleach, but I'd be interested.

[conesoldstober]

[Bottle blonds unite.]

Believe me, the stuff I make's heaps better than that toss. I haven't had to bleach since a few unfortunate cases in uni.

[thewildone]

All right, then I'd like to buy some.

[mortemscintilla]

Spells?

[conesoldstober]

Yes, spells. Are you interested?

[mortemscintilla]

Ah! [ Awkward. ] Are they real spells? The kind to turn people into toads and make hay into gold?

[conesoldstober]

Do you want someone turned into a toad?

action because they are in the same house so there

[candothat]

Do you have spells to make someone taller?

[conesoldstober]

[You get an eyebrow over the top of Howl's book, Chekov.]

Not permanently.

[candothat]

[Well then. Flopping onto the nearest piece of furniture, or the floor, if it's closer.]

What a shame. I would have purchased that.

[conesoldstober]

And you wouldn't be the first to by a glamour, being told it's something permanent. Besides, you're not even done growing yet.

What kind of spells? Flying spells, spells to make people stronger, faster, smarter?

How do transport spells work? Do you magic up some kind of cart to carry a person around, or do they just somehow move from one place to another?

Don't wizards have wands and pointy hats?

[conesoldstober]

All those, yes. Transport spells can work in several different manners. They can be enchantments laid upon coaches and railways to make them function better. Then things such as Seven League Boots. And as well, instantaneous teleportation. Those cost the most, of course.

And I believe it's fairly clear from my stunning visage that this one doesn't.

[sixwinged]

I wouldn't know! I can't see your face through the screen. Maybe you're secretly wearing a pointy hat while I can't see.

What about healing spells?

[conesoldstober]

Depending. I can do injuries, but no illnesses.

[saidrepent]

Transport spells.

[Raymond's seen some strange things during his time in the City, but he still doesn't sound like he quite believes this one.]

[conesoldstober]

Interested? Or are you simply another who requires an explanation?

[saidrepent]

Neither. Just wondering what you would actually use them for.

[conesoldstober]

Transporting, usually.

[harrydresden]

Gotta take care with those transport spells, don't focus on it right and wammo, you end up stuck in a wall. Is that safe to be selling to people who don't know what they're doing?

[conesoldstober]

Perfectly safe. When you know how to prepare them correctly.

[harrydresden]

Don't they have to think about where they're going to get there? You can't possibly know where they plan to go. Unless, I suppose, you've keyed it to a specific place?

[conesoldstober]

There are different spells for both kinds. I sold a lot of the them to the king back home for moving troops.
