>12345678 You request a thorough inspection of a heavy moonstone cube from Example Magic Shop

There is nothing there to read. The cube can not be worn.

Analysis of a heavy moonstone cube indicates the item is free from merchant alteration restrictions.

You get no sense of whether or not the cube may be further lightened.

The moonstone cube will cost 10000 coins.

You can use SHOP PURCHASE 12345678 to purchase the cube.

>SHOP PURCHASE 12345678 [Purchasing items from shops in other towns requires the services of the Chronomages at the cost of 5,000 silver for 24 hours.] You call over a nearby urchin and inquire about purchasing a heavy moonstone cube. You exchange a few words with the urchin and hand over an Icemule promissory note valued at 15000 silver to exactly cover the cost of purchase. The urchin returns after a while and hands you a heavy moonstone cube.
