A scene

The shopkeeper of Atlantean Magical and Alchemical Supply swore the silver ring had belonged to a First Age prince. Xanthe, a thaumaturge who bought for the Institute of Knowledge, held it cupped in her palm and let the spell open her eyes. For one minute she saw what the shop was really made of: a faint green glow on a shelf of sealed jars, a sullen red shimmer from a locked case behind the counter, and nothing at all from the ring. She set it down gently. Then she asked what was in the locked case.
