    Will he get pissed if stuff in his shop gets pushed around without him being personally attacked?

    I ask because there's a "definitely nothing behind here" section with ice that I don't have the means to get around other than blasting everything in the shop everywhichway.

    I'm pretty sure the game treats being shoved around (even if the damage is fully resisted) as an attack. In fact, I once pissed Brax off on like... Floor 2 by accidentally drinking a Radiance Potion instead of selling it. The resulting "tries to blind everything" burst activated Brax' Revenge and the Dread Collectors poured in and pounded my 3rd Level character into dust. Brax, of course, sat there with a full Health Bar and chuckled evilly the whole time.

    Yes, but does he care if the shop's contents are shoved around? He himself won't be hit by my intended action.

    Hrm, that I've never tried. If it shoves both the item and the pedestal around, I doubt he'll care. If you knock items off the pedestals, he'll probably go into "Imma block you 'till you put that back" mode, which you might not be able to "fix" short of killing him (since you can't put the items back onto the pedestals as far as I know).

    This character may be on permadeath, but I'm gonna try it when I wrap this floor up, for science.

    edit to add: I can report neither failure nor success, as the move I used failed to provoke sufficient knocking about of things. It seems to only knock back monsters.

    My son decided to steal some stuff from a shop last night - and he just used "Love will teleport us apart" to escape easily. I never thought of that!

    Moving around the items in the shop won't piss him off unless you fling them outside of the shop. I think flinging them outside the shop pisses him off, but i'd have to doublecheck that to be certain. Heck, you can even pick up, equip, or put in a different spot his items and he won't care as long as you don't leave the shop's vicinity without paying.

    I can confirm that that shoving pedestals with items on them does not piss Brax off. Chased some mob into there and killed him with Gray Heron or something like that, and it pushed the pedestals around quite a bit, with no ill effects.
