Strategist Lucien:
Did you bring your orders? Good! Then in exchange for them I'll trade you a Shadow Weapon or other supplies suitable for your level.
What's a Shadow Weapon, you ask? You must have been away for a while! A regular object is magically transformed for a while into an effective weapon or piece of armor.
Its magical power will decrease once it's been equipped. Once this power has been consumed, the weapon will disappear.
But until then, you will have the time you need to equip different armor and weapons.
Plan carefully!
Shadow Weapon: Receive a weapon.
Shadow Armor: Receive armor.
Receive supplies.
