Misc
The following items can be bought at the Long Library, however they will not show up in your inventory.
 * The price of Castle Map seems to be affected by tax rate in Japan by the time of game release.
 * Spell books will only appear at certain period if you have never used the corresponding spell. If you have already inputted the correct command of a spell, it will be remembered in your menu, and the spell book will not be for sale.
