Jim bursts into the Spells R Us store. The Old Man steps from behind a curtain, but after Jim finishes accusing him, he says "What are you talking about? I say you, but you ran off before I had the chance to make my sales pitch. Now, Sharon...she I dealt with. She was in my shop a half hour earlier, buying a token of Hearts Desire. I think she wanted to be fat, for some reason. So...how's that working out for her?"
"She's goddamn enormous. I'm not sure if she just always has food around or if it orbits her. How? WHY?!"
"It's what she wanted. The Token of Heart's Desire doesn't lie. Though it may fib a little."
"What you mean is... she wanted to not worry about her weight, so the token made her huge enough that it would be impossible to care?! It summoned a whole store, convinced me to go along with it, and distorted Sharon's wish?" Jim had idly put on a deerstalker hat that hung nearby.
"Brilliant deduction. Now if you don't have any further business, I've got toasters to enchant." The Old Man snatched back the hat.
"WAIT! How do I get her back to normal?"
"Should have bought the insurance." He was grinning, obviously insurance was a commission offer.
"What?"
"Spells R Us insurance, we don't take returns obviously, but we offer insurance."
"..." Jim stared in disbelief. "She didn't get the insurance?"
"Most don't, it's not cheap. The whole potentially arbitrary changes to the universe requiring reversal part means it's an expensive venture for us to maintain."
"What can I do now then?"
