Wishmonger

Wishmongers are a type of magical merchant known for underhanded tactics, cheap items, and cursed items. They are often looked down upon for their actions yet many people still flock to them out of the hope of getting something marginally good in a deal. While their items are often weak or cursed, they are always magical.

Career

Qualifications

It takes a certain kind of charisma and wit to sell something which you don't truly understand. More often than not, Wishmongers hold some kind of sleazy air of distilled charisma which one can't help but to fall for all too often.

Perception

Wishmongers are viewed by other Arcane sellers as charlatans of the craft, selling items without a real understanding of their value and often scamming adventurers and common people out of their money.

Demographics

Typically, Wishmongers hope to prey on adventurers, people who are more likely to spend money on magical items and less likely to seek retribution if they were cheated.
