Enchant (925)/Enchant Item (925) (old version) Mnemonic [ENCHANT] Duration Permanent Utility Magic   Subtype {{{subtype}}}  Skill Enhancement {{{skill}}}  Components {{{components}}}  Availability {{{availability}}}

Enchanting allows the wizard to give an armor, weapon, shield, or the extremely rare DB (defensive bonus) items a permanent +5 bonus with each successful enchantment; as well as increased resistance to damage and destruction. The enchanting process can be very lengthy for the higher enchants.

Each enchantment requires tempering the item with a tempering potion and then a cast. But the number of times tempered, and number of casts, vary based on the enchantment. For example, to enchant a 0x to 1x item requires 1 temper and 1 cast; 1x to 2x requires 2 tempers and two casts; 2x to 3x is 3 tempers and 3 casts, etc.

Currently there is a "soft cap" on enchanting that allows items only to be enchanted up to +35 (7x) without a special tempering potion. This means that any item above +30 (6x) will not take a temper from a mirtokh potion.
