In addition to the things he intended to buy, he comes across a pair of intruiguing items, held by a mage very eager to move as much of his supply as possible, before leaving; a Hand of Glory, that had a small, malignant personality to it. Its ego score was so low, that any competent magic user could easily dominate it, but it might have the power to influence a simpleminded fool.<br/><br/>The other item is currently far less powerful... now. Left uninfluenced, the simple, +2 shortsword will, eventually, become involved in a long series of events, and be magically reforged as a Luckblade, which will fall into the wrong hands, its first two wishes used for great evil, though the good of the last trumps the evil, in the cosmic scale of things. If he were to alter it, now, however, it would lose that entire destiny, and... that line of the future is uncertain.
