"Ye'll need to be doin' some shoppin' if ye stand a chance of survival. Not a high one, mind ye, but a chance. Of course, once ye get some coinage saved up, I expect ye'll be doin' yer part to keep this fine city runnin'!"

The Square is your character's online shopping mall. The Armory and Weapon Shoppe allow you to buy and sell the tools of your trade.

Real Estate and Security are very important - they help to keep you from getting robbed by other users.

And you will probably be paying more than a few visits to Butler Hospital, where you can heal your wounds for a small fee. If you cannot afford to heal all your Hit Points, the Hospital will sympathize and take a loan out for you from the Bank. You can try to Pick Pockets in this busy sector, if you are careful not to get caught by the city guard. And you can take the alley leading to the Arena.

As more energy must be expended to create wands, they cost considerably more and may become inoperative after each use. Scrolls are cheaper, but may also be consumed in the casting as are wands. If your class is fortunate enough to use spells, you only need to buy each once and it will stick with you until you reach Immortality. Each spell is described below.

Charisma, Intellect, Strength, Dexterity: Each of these will temporarily raise each respective ability from one to ten points each time it is cast, to a maximum of their class allows.
Shield, Hone: These will augment your weapon and armor. Be careful not to augment them too much!
Teleport: This spell replaces the Wizard in the Dungeon. It can also be cast as a defensive, escape measure in battle.
Heal, Blast: These are used to restore lost Hit Points or cause an opponent to lose some.
Resurrect: This spell will bring a dead user back to life so they can be killed again.
Confusion: This will distract your enemy in battle, making them miss and their spells fail more often.
Transmute: This spell will permanently change your opponent's weapon to something of lesser value.
Cure: This spell will restore ALL lost Hit Points.
Illusion: This spell will summon an ally of the same qualities of the caster.
Disintegrate: This will completely atomize your opponent.
Morph: This spell, which can only be cast in battle, will randomly change your opponent's character class and level. Note that you could make him more powerful, a God class, or force an extermination, a class of None.

All spell-casting attempts are subject to failing or even backfiring.

The Apothecary sells poison, which will enhance your blade in battle. The more expensive the poison, the better the damage, though some of the lesser weapons can not hold a good dose of the better poisons. Classes unfamiliar with the use of poison must pay extra for a special blend which has been magicked to adhese to the blade, while those very familiar with the application of poison may be able to get several doses out of one small vial. The Apothecary has preconceived notions about certain classes, however, and will not sell poison to certain character classes for fear of being reported to the authorities.

Ye Olde Stone Bank is a relatively safe place to store your excess cash, though it has been known to be robbed on occasion. When you are short on cash, the banker may even see his way clear to grant you a loan based on your Real Estate and Security assets. If you are feeling lucky, you can try to Rob the Bank, but the chance is very slim, as the Bank hires the best of security.
