Common methods of blessing an item include:
To temporarily bless an item, a [[cleric]] may cast [[Bless Item (304)]] on it, or a member of the [[Order of Voln]] may use [[Symbol of Blessing]], or a [[pure potion]] may be poured.

Armaments with an [[enchantment]] bonus require the casting cleric to have at least 40 ranks in the [[Cleric Base]] spell circle, or the Voln member to have rank at least half the enchantment bonus (for example, a rank 10 member can bless items of up to +20 bonus).

Items crafted from magical metals or wizard-enchanted can only be blessed by a sufficiently high level cleric or advanced Voln member (pure potions are effective regardless of enchantment level). Items with inherent [[weighting]] or [[flare]]s cannot be blessed.
