Payment completes a contract, be it Coins for the the Tooth Fairy or Charon, or clothing for house spirits (which also falls under the umbrella of Coins’ tangible, earthly goods). If that isn’t transformative, I don’t know what is.

There are many ways to use those tools to change things, but the upshot is that, when done properly, retail therapy can absolutely work.

People struggle w/resolving toxic emotions and situations, and a lot of them try a tool set of fluids (air/swords, water/cups) for removal.
