Shopkeepers & Business Owners

While many witches and wizards in these dark times have gone into hiding, life goes on for the magical community. In the many villages and streets hidden from the Muggles with protective incantations one finds shops, taverns and market stalls ladden with curious enchanted objects. Potioneers, Alchemists, Healers and Broom makers and other professions of magical origins have set up shop throughout Britain. Without them, the wizarding world would cease to exist.

In Horcrux **Shopkeepers & Business Owners** play an essential role within the cult concept, so characters in this role are held up to a certain standard. This will require members to make an Adult Character that gains special approval to become a Shopkeeper & Business Owner within the cult. There are two kinds of shops to own, premades (already present at Horcrux) and custom (per request) though the latter needs to be unlocked through a purchased privilege.

There is no limit to the amount of shops or businesses a Horcrux member can own though the cult rules will limited one business/shop per character to prevent monopolies. Custom businesses require special approval from a Horcrux staff member who will evaluate the usefulness and added value from the requested thread. For an easier approval, check out the current business and find what you think the cult still lacks.

## Wandmaker Shop

One essential part of the wizarding world are wands. Wands are what allow witches and wizards to perform their magic though few ever fully understand the difficulty that comes with the trade. For that wandmakers are a rare but precious breed who often set up shops in important cities and villages.
