If you wish to have such a shop, stop and consider where the supplies come from. Does the shopkeeper scribe the scrolls personally ? That shop must do pretty good business for the shopkeeper to have scrolls of 4th level spells "on the shelves" in case someone wants to buy one. If the scrolls come from other adventurers, well, how many adventurers are going to sell combat spell scrolls ? They may feel overloaded with arcane lock or other miscellaneous spells, but I would doubt that many would sell scrolls they would be likely to need. So, what stops the wizard from stocking up like that is that there are no such scrolls to be bought. If the shopkeeper is selling whatever "happened to come his way", then the PC can't walk in and look over a rack of spells of all levels and types. S/he can ask "What do you have ?", and you can randomly roll up a few -- that's a far more likely scenario, I would think, all around.</blockquote>
