What to study

Buying is staged as standing in the shop, not opening a spreadsheet: Sly's stock is a single vertical list of painted icons with bare Geo prices (550, 950, 300, 200, 60), the list scrolls under the ornate frame's top edge, and the shop itself, shelves, wares, the shopkeeper at his counter, stays visible through a soft vignette behind the items, so the transaction never leaves the room. The player's wallet is not repeated inside the panel; the ordinary HUD (soul vessel, seven masks, 2,123 Geo) simply stays on screen at top left, because this menu is a layer over the game, not a replacement for it. The selected ware, the Gathering Swarm charm, gets the detail panel at right, and its description is a sales pitch in two beats: the shopkeeper's patter as a question ('Do you find yourself leaving a lot of Geo behind as you hurry through the caverns?'), then the effect in one plain sentence, with its Notch Cost (one dot) quietly cross-referencing the Charms screen's budget. Frame at about 1:40 in the Release Trailer (Steam), manually extracted at 100.0s: the scene-change pass caught only the surrounding cuts. Caveat: the same shop a second earlier (Mask Shard selected) carries the trailer's burned-in 'BARTER' title across the panel and was rejected; this later state is clean.
