Explain scrolls and potions

Scrolls contain one single-use spell each. If you have the money and inventory space, you could carry a bunch of scrolls around to cast at any moment. However, scrolls are written on a magic paper similar to the boxes your store's deliveries come in; once it's fulfilled its purpose, it vanishes.
Combining a scroll with something more solid like, say, a ring makes the ring able to cast the spell multiple times--with a cooldown. Your Grandmother's ring is a coral band crafted with a Magic Projectile scroll. This works for other objects as well. You can also craft spellbooks that can cast one spell per page by combining a scroll with a blank book. The blank books on your shelf have 30 pages each.
Your current scrolls are:
2 Fireball
2 Ice Spike
2 Shock Lance
2 Magic Projectile
2 Poison
2 Parasitic Plant
2 Blind
2 HP Steal

Potions can have a number of different effects. Theoretically, you can make a potion for any of your stats, though for most people an LP potion would be useless and no one would want an IP potion. There are other potions whose effects range from the mundane to the bizarre to the oddly specific.
Next to the potion-making set on the wall is a list of recipes for potions. HP, JP...no MP sadly, but there are two potions you've never heard of. You're not sure what they do.

The town you're in is small but it gets a fair amount of through traffic. You don't really have any competitors here. There's a grocery store, a post office, a hospital, and a large building that you think is hosting some sort of event. You're probably the only weapons and magic shop for miles.
