A scene
The dealer in the back room of a Tartessian wine shop swears the dagger holds a bound demon, and he wants a price to match. Varro, a wizard with a sideline in black magic and a long memory for swindles, asks him to lay it on the barrel head and step back. He speaks a short word and watches. For one minute the room within arm's reach blooms with faint lights: the dealer's rings, a charm on the doorframe, a trace in his own purse. The dagger stays stubbornly dark. Varro laughs.
