You use this moderately easy to draw diagram to get a mental picture of the store's layout!
Let's see what they have...
STORE SECTION (click a letter!):
-SECTION A: SPORTING GOODS-
Mounting climbing equipment: ᵯ39
Rope: ᵯ2
Footsockball ball: ᵯ8
Footsockball socks: ᵯ1
Footsockball outfit: ᵯ5
Footsockball goal: ᵯ89
I heart Footsockball shirt: ᵯ5
Footsockball We Are Number One memehand: ᵯ3

Racing Bicycle: ᵯ85
Mountain Bicycle: ᵯ92
Biking helmet and joint-pads: ᵯ29
You find yourself staring at the footsockball equipment, overcome with nostalgia. Your mind fills with memories both fond and painful, thoughts of what could have been, regret at opportunities lost.
"So how come you don't play anymore?" Daatra asks.
"I've been distracted with... other things," you reply.
"But you were a monster on the field. You'd definitely have made it on the 'SCREECHING BIRBS' team. I bet you'd have led them to the playoffs!"
Heh... it's a little weird hearing Daatra say something so earnest to you. Maybe the earlier event meant more to her than you realize?
You shake your head. "Nah, the rules on magic get way more strict as you move up, and my range of magic tricks was the main reason I could play despite being kinda slow."
"Bullshit. You could have run circles around the others! You just had to practice running a bit more, and you'd have been a way better offensive sock-er player than Chirps Mcgee! I--"
She suddenly stops, as if realizing she wasn't being 'herself'.
...Did she really look up to you all this time?
....
-SECTION B: MAGICAL GOODS-
Portal training ball: ᵯ4
Fireproof magical training target: ᵯ19
Voltage-detecting magical training target: ᵯ22
Easy-freeze magical training target: ᵯ7
Totally official magic power tester that is in no way a recolored 'love' machine that uses the warmth of your hands to determine how lovable you are: ᵯ25
Super soft telekinesis practice weight: ᵯ12
Magic focusing wand: ᵯ6
Not much of note here. This stuff could help you train your magic, but there's a dearth of stuff for polymorphers and teleporters.
"You're the only person I know who can use so many types of magic," Daatra says.
"That's because most mortal races only infused themselves with two schools of magic. I'm supposed to be the same way, but instead of a single sub-school of Transdimensional magic, I can do all three."
"Infused? You realize that stuff is innate, right? We don't have to do anything special to have magic, we just have it."
"Yeah, but a long time ago that wasn't the case. They had to do rituals to cast spells, and eventually learned to graft magic onto themselves. They did it for so long that people started being born with innate magical abilities."
"Huh? I didn't know you were a history nerd."
"It's... a more recent development."
"'Kay. Still, if I had your magic, I could..."
"Hmm?"
"...No, nothing."
-SECTION C: CAMPING GOODS-

"I'd never want to go camping," Daatra says. "Home has my soft bed and my videogames! Why would I ever want to leave that?"
"To become one with nature?"
"Hss! No thanks!"
"I'm thinking of going camping with Skif, actually."
"Why!?"
"Because..."
....
"Because it'd be good for us," you say.
"If you say so."
