However, in return for this deficit, rune casters can learn their craft far more easily.
Each level of a sphere they purchase costs 5 \gls{xp} less than it normally would.
While buying Fate 2 would normally cost 10 for the first level and 15 for the second, rune casters merely need to spend 5 \gls{xp} for the first level and 10 for the second.

Different races will also have different items available.
In general, anything of a basic (non adjusted) value of over 2 \gls{sp} will not be available in a village, while towns will not have anything of over 1 gp in value.
Characters can only buy expensive, artisan, items in cities.
