This is a suggested proposal for how to change the HESS Certificates: +1 to Skill/Stat into an automated system with a variable cost applied via automated NPC.

>order
An enhancer leans toward you and says, "I can increase the power on your favorite enhancive!  The minimum cost for these services is 5,000 <event currency> and scales higher for higher bonuses.  When ready, simply hold the item in question in your left hand, and make sure you have the appropriate amount of <event currency> before placing your order!"
[Type ORDER ENHANCE]
>order enhance
An enhancer says, "I need to know which enhancive property you want to increase.  Use the following information, and tell me the number for the enhancive property on the necklace that you want to INCREASE."

508. Thrown Weapons Bonus (5) 516. Arcane Symbols Bonus (1) 505. Blunt Weapons Bonus (6)
>order enhance 508
An enhancer says, "You wish to increase the inset ora necklace's "Thrown Weapons Bonus (5)" to "Thrown Weapons Bonus (6)" for 5,000 <event currency>?  If this is your request, REPEAT YOUR COMMAND WITHIN 30 SECONDS.
>order enhance 508
Squeezing his right forefinger between his thumb and middle finger, an enhancer uses his fingernail like a writing utensil to scratch some etchings onto the surface of the necklace.  Once finished, he hands the item back to you.  "And done.  Painless.  Now, that'll be 5,000 <event currency>, please."  He holds out his hand, and you count out the required payment.
[You paid 5,000 <event currency> to the enhancer, leaving you with a balance of XXX,000 event currency.]

Scale the cost based upon the benefit: 1-3 = 2500 per 4-6 = 5000 per 7-10 = 10000 per 11=15 = 50k per
