{{TOC limit|3}}
The '''Enchant''' spell is the final step of Enchanting: the process of magically enhancing a properly prepared weapon, armor, or shield. Each successful [[enchantment]] provides a permanent +1 bonus to the item's [[attack strength]] (AS) or [[defensive strength]] (DS), as applicable.

==Essence==
Enchanting now requires the gathering of [[Essence]] by a wizard and expending it to increase the enchantment of an item. You can SENSE how much essence you have accumulated and how strong of an enchantment you can complete.

===Generation===
Essence is gathered by spending mana when casting offensive spells at enemies of an appropriate level for the caster to earn experience by killing them. Offensive spells generally include anything you can't cast in a sanctuary. Each cast generates a sort of magical static which clings to the caster depending on the relative difficulty of the target compared to the caster. On a mana pulse, a portion of that static is absorbed as essence for enchanting; being well trained in Elemental Mana Control will increase the amount of static converted into essence and being well trained in Harness Power and Elemental Lore: Water increases the maximum amount of essence that can be absorbed this way per pulse. Any unabsorbed static is generally lost, but if the Wizard is trained in Elemental Lore: Air a portion will carry over to the next mana pulse. Wizards trained in Elemental Lore: Fire will find their spell casting yields additional essence on average.

===Cost to Enchant===
The essence costs for each cast follow a simple pattern. If the current bonus of the item is less than 25, the cost is 100 essence per point of bonus. If the current bonus of the item is 25 or higher, the cost is 2400 essence plus 2400 per point above 24. This is the cost to increase the bonus of the item by 1 point. e.g. from +24 to +25 costs 2400 essence; from +49 to +50 costs 62400 essence; from +0 to +1 costs zero essence. The amount of essence a Wizard can gather and store is capped weekly at 16000 and overall at 64000.

==Success Factors==
The precise formula to achieve a successful enchantment is not released. What is known is that the [[level]] and [[Wizard Base]] ranks of the [[enchanter]] are primary factors. The following table lists all known factors (positive or negative), in no particular order. '''At the very least, a wizard should be uninjured, and in a [[magical workshop]] with a [[familiar]] present.'''

===Material Difficulty Chart===
{{#section:Material|material chart}}
{{clear}}
{{top}}

==Failures==
It is not possible to destroy an item during the enchanting process. Upon a failure to succeed, the wizard will lose 10% of the required essence to complete the +1 bonus cast.

==Pre-Temper Potions==
Pre-temper potions currently have a limited duration once successfully applied to an item. These potions are poured prior to using the normal enchant unlocking potion.

===Flaring Items===
{{main|Pre-tempering potions}}
Elemental flared items can have their difficulty negated by using the appropriate pre-temper potion. No [[Elemental Lore]] skills are required to apply an appropriate pre-temper potion.

===Enhancive and Holy Items===
{{main|Pre-tempering potions}}
No lore training is required to enchant either enhancive or holy items, but these items will be more difficult to enchant than plain items. The potion required are [[urven'eth potion]].

{{#section:Fusion|nopry}}

==Enchant Unlocking==
To actually proceed with enchanting an item, you must first unlock its ability to be enchanted by pouring the appropriate enchant potion on the item. Once done, the item is unlocked to be enchanted up to the bonus given by the potion used and can be verified by casting [[Elemental Detection (405)]] on the item. The item will remain unlocked until a successful CHANNEL of Enchant (925) has been performed.

==Rewards for Enchanting==
Successful enchantments earn experience, and potentially large amounts of [[silver]].

While the enchantment process does not directly reward the wizard in silver, many items are enchanted with the intent of sale. By increasing the enchantment on an item, the wizard has increased its value, sometimes by immense amounts.

==Negative Bonus Items==
Items with a negative “bonus” (perhaps more accurately a negative modifier, as the negative is no boon!) may be enchanted to a bonus of +1 with no essence. Any restrictions (such as needing pretemper potions) are still in place, however.

For example, most wooden weapons begin with a modifier of -20. A wizard may enchant a wooden weapon (with use of an ayan'eth potion to unlock enchanting) to +1 with no essence. This would take 21 channels of enchant.
