Are there examples to hand of unusual things other people have bought?

Read-only and starkly limited internet access plus a computer that works in their pocket dimension; A fate-twist that they'd be more likely to run into people who'd make a good girlfriend if they went looking; Extra time magic training before starting work; Limited shapeshifting power; Semisentient magic pets that are cute and cuddly and can do light chores; Magic spyglass apartment feature that is able to look at Earthsea with a bird's eye view (anywhere not warded against observation) for for a couple hours a day.

What are the internet access limits?

The speed is slow (like, dial up speeds) and depends on how much she gives up for it, but it's very read only. Stuff that requires signing up for an account won't work, stuff she already has accounts for will be pretty feature-limited.

Might be worth it just for Wikipedia. Maybe Earthsea will have an internet in a few years.

Will she magically speak the language(s)?

Yeah, that's just a feature of Earthsea. Everyone can speak Common, like a law of physics almost.

WEIRD. That will get through her shell?

Khintal thinks so and seems to have reasons that make sense, though nobody who uses the godphone about it can explain. The closest equivalent is that, yeah, it's a law of physics there that 'everyone can speak Common'. It's a fact about the world, not about people.

Can she get conditional extra language learning time before she starts work if it doesn't?

Sure, that makes perfect sense. No cost.

How do the pocket dimensions work?

Her pocket dimension is hers and consists of a small region of space. It's a magical axiom that exists independently of anything else, a tiny world with bounded walls. It generates its own gravity, fresh air, temperature control, etc. You can move around existing upgrades or change the aesthetics without much effort, like moving the sink, changing a shower to a bath, making a stove appear like gas instead of electric for a moderate mana cost. Khintal or other gods or other being sufficiently good at dimension magic can permanently expand a pocket dimension's capabilities; This is expensive both in raw power to make the upgrade and in service charge. You are aware of other people in your pocket dimension, you can open temporary portals to other dimensions that you know exist for a minor mana cost (if the owner accepts). You can reappear in your own pocket dimension for a minor mana cost if trapped, unless something extremely unusual is going on.

Does mana come exclusively from doing jobs on summon?

Pretty much. At first, at least. There's ways around that but they fall under 'expert techniques'.

But she'll have enough to operate her pocket dimension for the initial six month runway?

Khintal pays the maintenance during training.

People visit each other's, right, how does that work?

They get introduced to each other during training or on assignment or whatever, and then try to will a portal open, which costs a bit of mana and doesn't work if the other party doesn't want it to.

And does this bit of mana for such things fall under 'maintenance'?

She'll have a good chunk to start out with too. Signing bonus, as it were.

Okay, good. Does she design her apartment here and now? Do things like groceries appear by default the way water does from the plumbing or does she have to grocery shop in some way if she wants to eat?

Really basic groceries appearing is standard. You can upgrade it to nicer stuff. She can do it now or have a design session after going, either way.

What counts as really basic, they're sufficiently global that this might mean rice and no bread or something. Can she afford the upgrade.

Anything that counts as a staple, plus raw fresh produce and meat. She can afford to upgrade it to spices and seasonings and simple cooked items by sacrificing something else. Or to fast food and processed snacks for two somethings else.

Eh, if eating's optional she can learn to make her own fried rice and Swiss rolls, but seasonings are important... Can she buy this sort of thing later with enough mana or is this it right now?
