Books for sure

Blair looked around as she pondered where she was going to find the correct kind of books. She chuckled to herself as she knew that she was not going to find real magic books in Barns and Nobel. She brought her hand up and ran her fingers through her hair for a moment as she pondered. Even if she was not going to find any books on magic in that kind of store, perhaps she could at least find some books on self-defense. So she walked over to the nearby kiosk and looked it over. There where all the usual stores listed there as well as all of the food places. It took a few moments before she found a list of several book stores. There was, of course, one named brand as well as one that stood out. Grendalins Witching Hour.

She paused for a moment as she looked at it. That was an interesting name for a book store. Sure it had a weird name but she could not help but wonder what kind of books the place had. So with a smile on her face, she looked to the map and first found where she was on the map and then found where out where the store was. It was not too bad of a walk but it would take a few minutes to get there from the food court as the store was tucked away in a corner of the store that not many people would want to go to. She leaned back from the kiosk as she turned around and plotted her course to the store.

A few minutes later she arrived at the front of the store. From looking at the outside she could see that this was like a small-time goth store. She chuckled lightly to herself as she walked over to the door. As she reached up and touched the door she felt as if she had plunged her hand into a bucket of cold water. She rather visibly shivered as she pulled the door opened. As she stepped into the store she gave out a small gasp as it was like plunging into an icy river. Just as soon as she stepped into the store a notification popped up.

You have entered an Illusion Barrier: Master Tong's Necrotic Barrier.

It was then that she noticed that the place looked to be a wreck. She looked around before the noise drew her attention. There was a man with some grey in his hair holding up his hands. From his hands was a large whiteish beam that was holding back a beam that looked to be full of negative energy from a skeletal hand of a figure in a black robe. "YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS LICH!" From the look of things the older man and the robbed figure wherein a tie at the moment as one could not overpower the other. She quickly looked around and noticed that who she figured was the store owner was laying on the ground near the cash front counter ****. She could just as easily walk away or stay and help even though she really did not have any offensive abilities at this point.
