    The ring is also cursed to be unremovable. You either need to get used to stealing every single mundane item from clothes to food every single day or pay the shopkeeper to remove it.

      Who cares if your wares are temporarily nullified. Some scofflaw is making off with your child's sword training money. Time to use AMF and beat them with a stick.

          Huh, I swear I've seen a version of this comic where the shopkeeper has been robbed blind in the last panel.

            Roguelike shopkeepers know this trick - that's why they always stand in front of the door as soon as you pick something up.

                What you do not see or smell is Vizzini, the most serious Sicilian when it comes to death known to man.

                    Anti magic field and guards at the door if he's not naive.

                      There should be a visible magnetic tag floating in the air.

                        The price of the spell to undo the invisibility has now gone up to 100,000 gold.

                          That could make for a fun little side plot setup. Whole town is convinced it's haunted, but it's just some guy who doesn't have a good grasp on common stuck in a cursed ring of invisibility.

                              Pawn shops may have locked doors that someone behind the counter has to trigger to open. Went to one once (California) and think they said the fire chief had approved the system. Quick search shows perhaps that’s plausible.

                              I know some jewellers in my neighbourhood can: 1. Shut the metal, anti-theft blinds in front of the door and windows 2. Notify the police With a single button or switch under the counter-top. I could borrow that in a TTRPG set in modern times or some Sci-Fi future. It could work in a medieval setting as a kind of magic trap.

                                  "Temporarily"? You're implying that the caster'd drop the effect every time some "interested" buyer rando wanted to try something on, but throw it back up an instant later? That's some shitty security, to say the least. Better to have a "dressing room" or "firing range" set up to isolate & restrict effects, rather than dousing the whole damn place with a muggled muzzle.

                                    The guards would have AMF on themselves at the doors. But as someone else already commented a week ago truesight would be better in this situation.
