This article is for the new Enchant (925) released during the Spring Spectacular 2019 updates. For the prior version of the spell, please see Enchant Item (925).

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.

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%

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

Material Difficulty Chart

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

Main article: Pre-tempering potions

Elemental flared items can have their difficulty negated by using the appropriate pre-temper potion. No Elemental Lore skills or potions are required to enchant a flaring item, the potion only negates the added difficulty.

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

Data on negative bonus item enchanting is currently unknown.

Functional Item Scripts

Please see above for a full description of what can and cannot be enchanted. Please keep these lists to Category D item scripts that are not listed in the Official Information section of the item properties page.
These are player-created lists and are not complete. See here for more functional scripts.
Scripts that CAN be wizard enchanted

Scripts that CANNOT be wizard enchanted

Other Items Marked for No Enchanting

This list includes items that ARE NOT SCRIPTED (see above section for those), and that consist of properties that would otherwise be enchantable, but still cannot be enchanted because the creator has marked them as such (or has marked them to "not take any magic"[1]).

Specific Items Marked for No Enchanting Origin
Black alloy items[2] Sold near Pinefar decades ago
Versions of the fel-hafted waraxes
Versions of the rolaren longsword (ruby, sapphire, and one other)
Versions of the pryothag hide brigandine
