In the bustling city of Neverwinter, a grifter named Jasper had a knack for finding opportunity in the unlikeliest of places. It was on a particularly dreary day, while rummaging through a pile of discarded junk at the city's edge, that he stumbled upon it: a smooth, dark piece of wood, roughly the length of a forearm. It was unremarkable, save for a natural taper at one end that vaguely resembled a point.
Inspiration struck. With a gleam in his eye, Jasper saw not trash but treasure. He spent the next few hours carefully sanding and polishing the wood, until it gleamed with a false allure. Then, armed with a confident demeanor and a well-rehearsed spiel, he ventured into the city.His target was a wealthy, but somewhat gullible, merchant named Aldric. Known for his penchant for the exotic and the arcane, Aldric was the perfect mark. Jasper approached him with a flourish, the "wand" held aloft.
"This, sir, is a Wand of Pointing," he began, his voice dripping with conviction. "A relic from a forgotten age, imbued with the power to direct and focus. Imagine the possibilities! You could point out a treasure chest from a mile away, or indicate the exact location of a fleeing thief!"
Aldric's eyes widened with anticipation. He reached out to touch the wand, his fingers tracing the smooth wood. Jasper sensed his prey was hooked.
"For a mere trifle," Jasper continued, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, "you could be the owner of this extraordinary artifact."
The deal was sealed over a goblet of wine in a dimly lit tavern. Aldric, convinced he had acquired a priceless magical item, parted with a hefty sum of gold. As Jasper slipped away into the night, a satisfied grin spread across his face. He had turned a worthless piece of wood into a fortune, proving once again that in the world of con artistry, sometimes the greatest magic is the ability to make people believe.
