{{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.

You can now also see your [[Resource]] list which shows how much essence you've fully absorbed toward your 16000 weekly cap and how close you are to the 64000 Maximum Cap.

</pre>

===Generation===

====Gathering====

A wizard character may earn static essence from killing creatures and will passively convert a portion of that static essence into usable enchanting essence on each mana pulse they receive.

Gathering static essence requires a player to: be a wizard, be level 25 or higher, have 25 ranks in the Wizard Base spell circle, and kill a creature of an appropriate level for the player's level.
'''However, without 26 ranks in Elemental Mana Control, you will not be able to convert static essence into usable enchanting essence.'''

The maximum amount of static essence a player can have gathered is equal to 500 + their maximum mana.

The amount of static essence earned when killing a creature will vary depending on the difference in level between the wizard and creature and how much mana was spent. The base amount of static essence earned per kill is 33 with a bonus of up to +12 from mana spent in the process of the kill (at a rate of 1 mana to 1 static essence); this total is then adjusted for wizard/creature level difference. For each creature level below the wizard's level the kill will yield 10% less static essence down to a minimum of 0%. For each level above the wizard's the kill will yield an additional +1 static essence up to a maximum of +10. The maximum amount of static essence that may be earned from a single kill is 55 (33 + 12 + 10) while the minimum is, of course, 0.

As a wizard's static essence pool fills it become more difficult to add more to it. For every 20 points of static essence already in the wizard’s pool, 1% of the static essence that would be earned for that kill is instead lost. For example, you have been out hunting and have gathered 200 static essence in your pool. If your next kill would normally award you 55 static essence, it will be reduced by ((200 / 20) = 10)%, earning (90% of 55 = 49) static essence.

The messaging from [[SENSE]] indicates what percentage of their maximum amount of static essence a wizard has accumulated.

|}

====Converting====

Converting static essence into usable enchanting essence requires a player to: be a wizard, be level 25 or higher, have 25 ranks in the Wizard Base spell circle, and have at least 26 ranks of Elemental Mana Control.

The maximum amount of static essence that can be converted to enchanting essence per pulse is equal to 33 + (Effective EMC Bonus / 11) + (Elemental Lore: Fire Bonus / 37). No more than this amount of static essence will be converted on a mana pulse.

The wizard's Effective EMC Bonus only considers ranks of Elemental Mana Control beyond the initial 26 required to convert essence. Calculate the effective EMC ranks by subtracting 26 and determine the skill bonus for that number of ranks (e.g. 27 ranks is 1 effective rank is 5 effective bonus, 76 ranks is 50 effective ranks is 150 effective bonus, beyond 50 effective ranks the bonus is equal to 100 + effective ranks.)

If the wizard is not on a natural mana node when they receive a mana pulse, they can only absorb a percentage of static essence that they normally would (the remainder stays in their pool). Only 50% + 1% per 10 Bonus of Elemental Lore: Water of the static essence will be absorbed outside of a natural mana node. Wizards can use the [[SENSE]] verb to determine if a natural mana node is present.

|}

The amount of essence a Wizard can gather and store is capped weekly at 16000 and overall at 64000.

===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.

===Using Essence to Enchant===

'''Once you begin any project with the new style enchanting system, you will NOT be able to use the old style enchant system again!'''

Using the new style enchant system via essence, you will first need to unlock the maximum enchant potential on your item. This is done via the various color ayan'eth potions now available at the various wizard guild shops. The color of each potion corresponds to the ROYGBIV colors associated with the [[AI crystal]], where green equates up to +20 and so on.

Unlock potions must be used in order, starting with green. Green ayan'eth potions come with four pours by default, with each pour unlocking the item potential by +5 until it is unlocked to +20. So, if enchanting a steel weapon, the green ayan'eth potion must be poured on it four times to unlock its maximum enchant first to +5, then +10, +15, and finally +20 on the last pour. After that, a single pour of the blue ayan'eth potion will unlock its maximum enchant further to +25.

The current maximum enchant unlock can be checked by a wizard via 405:

<pre{{Log2|margin-right=35%}}>You focus your energy on the phrases and form of Elemental Detection as glowing orbs of power rise up and swirl about your body...
>
The steel dagger seems to have been prepared for enchanting, and may be enchanted up to a bonus of 20.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.</pre>

A wizard can cast also use 405 to determine the precise current enchant.
{| {{prettytable|font-size:95%;margin-left:2em;}}
|-
!Color intensity
!Enchant value
|-
| faint
| color value -4
|-
| muted
| color value -3
|-
| hazy
| color value -2
|-
| soft
| color value -1
|-
| vibrant
| full color value
|}
Thus, an item that registers as yellow with the AI crystal (+11 to +15) would have a faint yellow aura if +11, a hazy yellow aura if +13, and a vibrant yellow aura if a full +15. Once it reaches +16, the item then has a faint green aura.

There is no tempering time associated with maximum enchant potential unlocks. As soon as the unlock potion has been poured, the item can immediately be enchanted up to that maximum amount, provided the wizard(s) contributing have sufficient essence to enchant it. The maximum unlock is permanent and never fades. The item can be used in combat at any point during new style enchanting process. The item cannot be "locked" as with old style enchants, and it cannot be destroyed in a catastrophic failure. The item is not associated with any individual wizard's project and can be enchanted in whole or in part by any other wizard up to that maximum unlock amount.

Once the item has had its maximum enchant potential unlocked, it can be enchanted simply by preparing 925 and using CHANNEL on the item. Each enchant channel increases the item's enchant by +1. Each channel enchant also reduces the wizard's available essence by that individual step amount, referenced in the above essence charts. If a wizard fails an enchant step, a small amount of essence will be lost, but otherwise nothing adverse happens to the wizard or to the item.

==Difficulty Detection==
A wizard's chance for success in enchanting an item can be determined by{{boldmono| [[CAST]]ing }}Enchant Item at an item. This can be done without first unlocking the item for enchantment.

==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.'''

===Weighting/Padding Difficulty===
Difficulty is the square of CER, truncated, i.e. trunc(CER²). Whatever the percent to reach the next CER level is also used. Example, CER plus 10 % chance to get 6 CER would be trunc(5.1²), which is -26 difficulty. Mixed types are the sum of each type's square - i.e. [crit trunc(CER²)] + [dmg trunc(CER²)]

===Permanent Resist Penalty Difficulty===

[Total Resist % / 2]

==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 [[Channel]]ing the Enchant spell.

===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 is the [[urven'eth potion]].

[[Permabless]]ed items can similarly be further enchanted, with a difficulty modifier, through the use of the [[urven'eth potion]].

Special Note: Unlike ayveneh and eoveneh potions, urven'eth potions are not restricted to 35 and lower enchants.

{{#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 permanently 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.

==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.

{{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.

You can now also see your [[Resource]] list which shows how much essence you've fully absorbed toward your 16000 weekly cap and how close you are to the 64000 Maximum Cap.

===Generation===

====Gathering====

A wizard character may earn static essence from killing creatures and will passively convert a portion of that static essence into usable enchanting essence on each mana pulse they receive.

Gathering static essence requires a player to: be a wizard, be level 25 or higher, have 25 ranks in the Wizard Base spell circle, and kill a creature of an appropriate level for the player's level.
'''However, without 26 ranks in Elemental Mana Control, you will not be able to convert static essence into usable enchanting essence.'''

The maximum amount of static essence a player can have gathered is equal to 500 + their maximum mana.

The amount of static essence earned when killing a creature will vary depending on the difference in level between the wizard and creature and how much mana was spent. The base amount of static essence earned per kill is 33 with a bonus of up to +12 from mana spent in the process of the kill (at a rate of 1 mana to 1 static essence); this total is then adjusted for wizard/creature level difference. For each creature level below the wizard's level the kill will yield 10% less static essence down to a minimum of 0%. For each level above the wizard's the kill will yield an additional +1 static essence up to a maximum of +10. The maximum amount of static essence that may be earned from a single kill is 55 (33 + 12 + 10) while the minimum is, of course, 0.

As a wizard's static essence pool fills it become more difficult to add more to it. For every 20 points of static essence already in the wizard’s pool, 1% of the static essence that would be earned for that kill is instead lost. For example, you have been out hunting and have gathered 200 static essence in your pool. If your next kill would normally award you 55 static essence, it will be reduced by ((200 / 20) = 10)%, earning (90% of 55 = 49) static essence.

The messaging from [[SENSE]] indicates what percentage of their maximum amount of static essence a wizard has accumulated.

====Converting====

Converting static essence into usable enchanting essence requires a player to: be a wizard, be level 25 or higher, have 25 ranks in the Wizard Base spell circle, and have at least 26 ranks of Elemental Mana Control.

The maximum amount of static essence that can be converted to enchanting essence per pulse is equal to 33 + (Effective EMC Bonus / 11) + (Elemental Lore: Fire Bonus / 37). No more than this amount of static essence will be converted on a mana pulse.

The wizard's Effective EMC Bonus only considers ranks of Elemental Mana Control beyond the initial 26 required to convert essence. Calculate the effective EMC ranks by subtracting 26 and determine the skill bonus for that number of ranks (e.g. 27 ranks is 1 effective rank is 5 effective bonus, 76 ranks is 50 effective ranks is 150 effective bonus, beyond 50 effective ranks the bonus is equal to 100 + effective ranks.)

If the wizard is not on a natural mana node when they receive a mana pulse, they can only absorb a percentage of static essence that they normally would (the remainder stays in their pool). Only 50% + 1% per 10 Bonus of Elemental Lore: Water of the static essence will be absorbed outside of a natural mana node. Wizards can use the [[SENSE]] verb to determine if a natural mana node is present.

|}

The amount of essence a Wizard can gather and store is capped weekly at 16000 and overall at 64000.

===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.

===Using Essence to Enchant===

'''Once you begin any project with the new style enchanting system, you will NOT be able to use the old style enchant system again!'''

Using the new style enchant system via essence, you will first need to unlock the maximum enchant potential on your item. This is done via the various color ayan'eth potions now available at the various wizard guild shops. The color of each potion corresponds to the ROYGBIV colors associated with the [[AI crystal]], where green equates up to +20 and so on.

Unlock potions must be used in order, starting with green. Green ayan'eth potions come with four pours by default, with each pour unlocking the item potential by +5 until it is unlocked to +20. So, if enchanting a steel weapon, the green ayan'eth potion must be poured on it four times to unlock its maximum enchant first to +5, then +10, +15, and finally +20 on the last pour. After that, a single pour of the blue ayan'eth potion will unlock its maximum enchant further to +25.

The current maximum enchant unlock can be checked by a wizard via 405:

<pre{{Log2|margin-right=35%}}>You focus your energy on the phrases and form of Elemental Detection as glowing orbs of power rise up and swirl about your body...
>
The steel dagger seems to have been prepared for enchanting, and may be enchanted up to a bonus of 20.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.</pre>

A wizard can cast also use 405 to determine the precise current enchant.
{| {{prettytable|font-size:95%;margin-left:2em;}}
|-
!Color intensity
!Enchant value
|-
| faint
| color value -4
|-
| muted
| color value -3
|-
| hazy
| color value -2
|-
| soft
| color value -1
|-
| vibrant
| full color value
|}
Thus, an item that registers as yellow with the AI crystal (+11 to +15) would have a faint yellow aura if +11, a hazy yellow aura if +13, and a vibrant yellow aura if a full +15. Once it reaches +16, the item then has a faint green aura.

There is no tempering time associated with maximum enchant potential unlocks. As soon as the unlock potion has been poured, the item can immediately be enchanted up to that maximum amount, provided the wizard(s) contributing have sufficient essence to enchant it. The maximum unlock is permanent and never fades. The item can be used in combat at any point during new style enchanting process. The item cannot be "locked" as with old style enchants, and it cannot be destroyed in a catastrophic failure. The item is not associated with any individual wizard's project and can be enchanted in whole or in part by any other wizard up to that maximum unlock amount.

Once the item has had its maximum enchant potential unlocked, it can be enchanted simply by preparing 925 and using CHANNEL on the item. Each enchant channel increases the item's enchant by +1. Each channel enchant also reduces the wizard's available essence by that individual step amount, referenced in the above essence charts. If a wizard fails an enchant step, a small amount of essence will be lost, but otherwise nothing adverse happens to the wizard or to the item.

==Difficulty Detection==
A wizard's chance for success in enchanting an item can be determined by{{boldmono| [[CAST]]ing }}Enchant Item at an item. This can be done without first unlocking the item for enchantment.

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.'''

===Weighting/Padding Difficulty===
Difficulty is the square of CER, truncated, i.e. trunc(CER²). Whatever the percent to reach the next CER level is also used. Example, CER plus 10 % chance to get 6 CER would be trunc(5.1²), which is -26 difficulty. Mixed types are the sum of each type's square - i.e. [crit trunc(CER²)] + [dmg trunc(CER²)]

===Permanent Resist Penalty Difficulty===

[Total Resist % / 2]

==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 [[Channel]]ing the Enchant spell.

===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 is the [[urven'eth potion]].

[[Permabless]]ed items can similarly be further enchanted, with a difficulty modifier, through the use of the [[urven'eth potion]].

Special Note: Unlike ayveneh and eoveneh potions, urven'eth potions are not restricted to 35 and lower enchants.

{{#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 permanently 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.

==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.
