"Once upon a time..."
"Really?"
"This is a good one.  I promise."

Back when I was an active participant on the Transformation Story Archive mailing list, someone by the name of Bill Hart wrote a story that became the foundation of the "Spells R Us" universe.  And as is my usual fashion, I went ahead and wrote two stories set in that particular universe.  The first was entitled "A Bottle Of Dreams", a story that seemed to cement my reputation as a decent writer of transformations.  That was followed with this one, a story of greed, retribution, and redemption.  The proprietor of the Spells R Us store was usually described as being dark if not evil, but for this one story in particular, I made him into a character who passed out his spells to those who deserved what happened.

I leave the rest to the reader.  The usual disclaimers apply, don't blame me if you get turned into a bar of soap or a towel.
