Before Salem's collar is removed: Her cat stares at you while you walk out of the shop. What's up with him?

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • You can only attempt to charge each item (out of Dark Wand, Light Wand, Orb, Staff, and The Elder Wand) once per visit; this cap is per item type rather than per item copy. (For example, if you have a regular Light Wand and a Duplicate Light Wand, after you choose a copy in the Shop, you cannot choose the other copy, even if you don't actually charge a Spell with the 1st copy.)
  • Each time you want to charge an item, you have to "use" it. This can't be done by a player who is Disarmed or Incapacitated, or Reincarnated without having Totem Of The Beast. Note that if you gain one of these statuses while already viewing spells for an item, you can still charge the item with one of the spells.
  • Not all spells are shown when charging an item.
  • When charging a Dark Wand or Light Wand, the 3 common spells for the respective Wand are always shown. In addition, 1 rare spell is shown without Expert Mode selected in Game Creation, and 2 are shown with Expert Mode.
  • When charging an Orb, Staff, or The Elder Wand, 1 common light spell and 1 common dark spell are always shown along with 2 rare light spells and 2 rare dark spells.
  • Spell prices for the Staff are 3x the spell prices for Wands or the Orb. This rule is carried over for Haggle Expert; it makes Staff spell prices drop by 3 Rupees. It is also carried over for Wild Mode: Silly Sales; the Wand/Orb price is affected by the Wild Mode before being multiplied by 3.
  • If you charge an already charged Orb with a spell, it turns into a Shimmering Orb with 3 charges. (Charging a Shimmering Orb here will refresh the amount of charges to 3 but will remove any current spell without replacing it.)
  • You can throw a Pocket Ball at a cat (if its collar hasn't been removed yet) after you've finished charging items.
  • Salem will not appear on future visits to The Magic Shop after his collar is removed.
  • Holy Water can be used after the Curse is blocked; the event simply ends without gaining the Collar.
