Baggins & Nerzhul
Nerzhul
I hear you keep a volume of ancient spells in your shop—care to tell me what secrets lie within?
Baggins
I keep a few old spell books, but they’re locked in a drawer behind the register. They’re not for the curious or the reckless; only those who truly respect the power of words are ever let in.
Nerzhul
So you guard them behind a register, locked tight? I don't need a key—just the right words, and you'll be ready to read what no one else can.
Baggins
I keep them safely behind the register, and I’m not in the habit of letting people read the old spell books unless they truly understand the responsibility that comes with the words.
