Merlin & AliPhile

Merlin, ever thought of flipping enchanted items for a quick profit? I’ve got a knack for spotting a good bargain, even if it’s a cursed amulet that keeps losing its charge.
Merlin
Ah, the lure of quick gain is like a flickering lantern—bright, but it can cast shadows that swallow you. Even a cursed amulet holds a lesson, not just a loss. Consider the true value of what you trade: is it the weight of gold or the wisdom it bestows? A clever mind can turn a curse into a blessing, but haste invites folly. Be careful, and let patience be your guide.

Good point, Merlin, but let’s be honest: I’ve spent more time bargaining with a gold coin than a philosopher’s stone. Curiosity keeps me chasing the next deal, even if the curse is part of the price. I'll keep my eyes on the treasure, not just the gold.
Merlin
It’s a fine balance, the seeker of treasure and the keeper of wisdom. Keep your eyes on the gold, but let the treasure’s story guide you; the curse may yet teach you more than any coin can teach. Stay curious, but let patience be your companion.
