("Man, if somebody fumbled in here, it'd take out half the city.")
("These are blanks. They have a place out in Hillsboro where their wizards enchant your piece, to order, while you wait. Built like an apocalypse bunker, and just as secure. They keep the high level stuff locked up in back, but only because it's expensive. Like, new car expensive.")
("Thought you said most of the money in one of these come from the enchantment?")
("It does. That basic Wizard's Staff over in the corner? $3,500? A basic spell suit runs $20k. All the bells and whistles will run you low six figures. And three days in the bunker, because it has to be attuned to you personally.")
("And the one she's showing you?")
("Basic Banishing wand. This particular design is meant for djinn and such. It's for work so I'm running an expense account. Corporate has a list of spells they'll want me to put on it, most of them useless. Only thing that reliably works on them is good old fashioned negotiation. Can't stand the fucks; make my skin crawl.")
