	2. Once attached, you may activate the string's script by raising the weapon. When activated, the strung weapon's enchant goes up one enchant, at a cost of 3 more mana and stamina.

Once attached, you may activate the string's script by raising the weapon. When activated, the strung weapon's enchant goes up one enchant when swung or hurled, at a cost of 3 more mana and stamina. Upon each successive attack, the enchant continues to go up by one, and the cost goes up a corresponding +3 mana and +3 stamina, until such point that you reach the highest enchant that you can hold for your level, or, alternatively you've raised the string again and thereby shut off the script. If you are level 100, 40x enchanted will be the highest enchant weapon you can hold for your level, and therefore the enchant will go no higher, though the mana/stamina cost continues to exact a heavy toll if you continue to attack. At this point, if you put the weapon away, after a brief pause, it will automatically cycle back to its base enchant. If you put the string on a 10x weapon, your first enchant brought about by the string script will be 11x, and continue onwards till 40x. If you put it on a lower enchant weapon, you can continue to pay increased cost until you reach 40x enchant, it will simply cost more mana and stamina to get there.

	In practice, the result is that if you have access to good amounts of mana and stamina, you can cycle the string from one extra enchant up to five extra enchants continuously throughout a normal hunt. Alternatively, during an invasion type event, you can cycle the weapon upwards to say 30x enchanted and then hold it in reserve. When faced with a particularly dangerous foe, you pull it out and hit them with an extra +100AS, then +105AS, +110AS, and maybe one last shot at +115AS, in addition to your starting 10x/+50AS. This makes for a very powerful attack. As if that weren't enough, presuming you are hurling (though not necessary to activate the string's enchant raising feature) you are also getting a certain amount of parry DS bypass, and the relatively low RT of hurling.
