"Enchant" redirects here. For other uses, see Enchant (disambiguation).

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; being well trained in Elemental Mana Control helps a Wizard gather more static. On a mana pulse, a portion of that static is absorbed as essence for enchanting; being well trained in Harness Power and Elemental Lore: Water increases the maximum amount of essence that can be absorbed this way. 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.

Difficulty Detection

A wizard's chance for success in enchanting an item can be determined by CASTing Enchant Item at an item. This can be done without first unlocking the item for enchantment.

Roll Needed Description % Chance you can only fail if you are horribly unlucky 97% (will only fail on a fumble) you should be able to enchant it easily enough, barring bad luck 90+% the odds are on your side to successfully complete the enchantment 75+% you are more likely than not to succeed on your cast, but you will need some luck 55+% this enchantment will be difficult, but possible 35+% this enchantment will be very difficult 15+% that this enchantment will be nearly impossible 1+% you will likely need a miracle to complete this enchantment -100+% this enchantment is completely beyond your abilities less than -100%

Roll Result Description Result You make an outstanding attempt! 90+ You make an excellent attempt! 80+ You make a good attempt! 70+ You make a decent attempt. 60+ You make an okay attempt. 50+ You make a passable attempt. 40+ You make a questionable attempt. 30+ You make a poor attempt! 20+ You make a very poor attempt! 10+ You make a horribly poor attempt! 2+ You make an astoundingly inept attempt! 1 Something doesn't seem right... Fumble

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.

Positive Factors	Negative Factors
Wizard Base ranks	Existing enchant bonus
Level of enchanter	Ensorcell tier
Magic Item Use ranks	Material of the item
Arcane Symbols ranks	Resistances
Logic, Intuition	Creature bane
Elemental Mana Control ranks	Holy
Elemental Lore ranks	Weighting, Padding, and/or Sighting
Having a familiar in the room	Having a familiar elsewhere
Public workshop	Flares, TD bonus, AS/DS bonus
	Enhancive item, Fusion
	Health or Spirit Loss, Injuries

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

Flaring Items

Elemental flared items can have their difficulty negated by using the appropriate pre-temper potion.

Lore	Base Element	Hybrid Element(s)	Pre-Tempering Potion
Air	vacuum air	lightning	zorveneh
Earth	earth	acid magma	gorveneh
Fire	fire	steam magma	draveneh
Water	ice water	acid lightning steam	rhiveneh

All other flares taking up the Category B item property slot and can be enchanted by this spell. But there is no pre-temper potion available to remove the difficulty modifier.

Enhancive and Holy Items

Main article: 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.

Enchanting and ensorcelling fusion items is substantially more difficult than typical gear (difficulty is dependent on the number of orb slots, not the bonuses of the orbs within those slots; prying orbs before enchanting or ensorcelling will not decrease difficulty).

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 made from materials which naturally have a negative bonus have special handling within the Enchanting system. Such items require use of a potion appropriate for their relative bonus compared to an item with a 0 bonus for tempering, which can be determined by taking the actual bonus of the item and subtracting the natural bonus of the material. e.g. Modwir has a natural bonus of -10. A modwir bow with a bonus of -10 would be considered +0 (-10--10=0) and would require a rohnuru potion to temper, where a modwir bow with a bonus of +15 would be considered +10 (15--10=25) and would require a dirtokh potion to temper, though would still be considered a minor project.

Other Items Marked for No Enchanting
