Jade's Magic Emporium
There is one place Rynn can purchase spells, and that's in Jade's Magic Emporium. It's located in the mountains near the palace in Surdana. Rynn can get there by landing Arokh outside the emporium. She can also get there without Arokh by swimming across the river behind Surdana and then climbing the path that leads up the mountainside. Climb the stairs that lead to the shop, and speak to Jade behind the counter to see what spells are available.

Rynn's choice of spells is determined by her Magic skill level. The higher her skill, the more spells she will be able to buy. After Rynn buys a spell once, Jade will sell her a higher-level version of that spell. This is a more powerful form of the spell that costs more mana to cast.

Beginner's tips for buying magic:
	Fear is a great deal at only costs 270 gold for the first level Fear spell. Casting this spell will make humanoid enemies around Rynn cower and snivel instead of attack. It doesn't work on spiders or scavenger, but it's very effective against trogs wartoks and grulls. Fear only lasts 30 seconds, but nothing should stop you from casting it over and over as needed.
	The 3rd level spell Soul Steal will damage enemies and heal Rynn at the same time. Rejuvenate is a 4th level spell that will restore some of Rynn's health.
	Don't get too dependent on Mana potions. Rynn's mana recharges fairly quickly on it's own, and will recharge faster as her magic skill improves.
	Combust is a great ranged attack spell. It's easy to hit with and it burns Rynn's target for several seconds per shot.
	Time Slow is another great defensive spell. Rynn is able to move normally while the world passes around her in slow motion.
