Jack looked over the two boxes before selecting the second one. As soon as he did so, the box disappeared, and was replaced with a small animation that displayed his available gold balance increasing by 250 to just over 300. With that, he could actually possibly afford something useful from the perk tree, or b.u.mp one of his attributes.He selected the first box next. As he did so, the screen suddenly vanished back into the small sphere of light in the palm of the outstretched hand pedestal. The light began to flicker and shift colors, until its form began to shift and stretch, seeming to shift through the rough shapes of various types of items, faster and faster. This continued on for several moments, until the shapeshifting gradually slowed, and finally stopped. As soon as it did so, there was a blinding flash, and Jack had to run away and cover his eyes.
As soon as the light faded, a faint chime sounded somewhere above the pedestal, and when Jack turned around, there was a small something sitting piled together in the palm of the pedestal"s hand. He reached out and lifted the object from the pedestal to get a better look at it.
It was some sort of silver chain necklace, with a matching silver pendant in the shape of an oval covered in intricate carvings of various symbols. As he picked it up, the Terminal"s screen flared back to life, and began to print out new lines of text.
"[Amulet of Location] - Cla.s.s B Magical Artifact
[Ability 1] - Once a user has worn this object for 24 consecutive hours they become attuned to it. Any user attuned to the amulet knows the exact location of the amulet at all times, as well as the exact location of any living user who is currently attuned to the amulet. Up to three beings can be attuned to the same amulet at the same time. Should a fourth user become attuned to the amulet, the oldest attunement will be overwritten by the new attunement.
[Ability 2] - Once per day, an attuned user wearing the amulet can scry the location around another attuned user or the amulet up to a radius of 500 ft. This ability grants full sight and sound to the scryer that lasts for thirty seconds or until dropped or dispelled."
Jack puzzled over the item"s description for several moments, feeling a little disappointed. It wasn"t immediately obvious to him how it"d benefit him at the moment. What good was having a necklace that allowed you to always know it"s location? He"d been hoping for something a little more immediately useful, like a Ring of Protection or something. Not really knowing what else to do with it, Jack unclipped the chain and fastened the amulet around his neck, before tucking the whole thing underneath his tunic.
Now that he had gold to spend, he knew immediately what he was going to try and get first. He opened up the Talent Tree, and navigated through the Prowess spoke until he reached the Armor Proficiency branch. Looking through, only a couple options were available to him. He didn"t need anything with shields at the moment, so the only other option was Light Armor Proficiency, which to his great surprise was priced at 250 gold for the base Talent.

He immediately selected the option, and was given a prompt by the Terminal to confirm his purchase. Jack confirmed, and watched as the option on the Talent Tree lit up, and his gold balance in the top right corner of the Terminal screen reduced by 250 gold.
Almost immediately, Jack felt a rush of new understanding rush into his head and body. It wasn"t a set of overt thoughts, really... More like a collection of innate understandings. He knew how to move in certain kinds of armor. He didn"t have to test it. He knew it in the same way he just instinctively knew how to swing his axe.
