Enchantment
| Due to enchantment's finicky and difficult nature, its study is only suitable for bards versed in High Magic, or those who have learned Cosmic magic or Elementalism. The most basic skills in enchantment involve imbuing jewellery with charges of a spell that the wearer can subsequently release: either by pointing the item of jewellery at someone (targeting others) or rubbing it (in order to target himself or where no target is required). The number of charges which can be imbued on an item depend on the type of jewellery. In addition, enchanters can create sigils, metal items with enduring magical properties. Enchanting can only be done in ritual chambers that have a special pentagram inscribed on the floor.
Upon mastering enchantment, practitioners of Cosmic or Elemental magicks may choose to specialise further in the subtle arts of Spellcraft. The mind of a bard is ill-conditioned to higher level enchantment: instead, Bards may learn the gnomish science of Tinkering. See HELP ENCHANTMENT ITEMS for details on the items and spells created with Enchantment. |

AetherSphere
| Syntax |
AETHERGOOP ENCHANT SPHERE CHARGES <1-100> |
| Cost of 1 sphere: marble 100 aethergoop 1000 gold 10000 |
Aetherspheres are one time use only. Upon throwing a sphere at a beast, that beast will be held indefinitely within the sphere. You may only trap beasts that are loyal to you. You cannot trap collared or custom beasts. The loyalty of the beast will change to whoever throws the sphere at the ground to release the beast.
Breaking aetherspheres cost 1 mercury per sphere and will return values worth 1/4 aethergoop and 1/10 gold of the cost of creating them. You cannot break a sphere holding a beast.
NOTE: When a beast is trapped in an aethersphere, the sphere's appearance will change based on the feeds and training of the aetherbeast. You will also be able to see what the released beast will look like in the sphere's extended description.
Fist
| Syntax |
| ENCHANT SIGIL FIST - to create. ATTACH <fist sigil> TO <item> - to use. |
| Ingredients: iron 2 |
At a mystic pentagram you can create fist sigils at a small cost of power reserves. The fist sigil makes it more difficult to remove items from your inventory that have it attached.
| Syntax |
| DISENCHANT SIGIL FIST |
| Power: 2 (any) |
You can disenchant sigils from anywhere, though it must be on the ground before you. This will return the sigil to its component parts.
NOTE: If a sigil is buried underground, you can disenchant at ground level; however, the deeper the sigil is buried, the longer it takes to disenchant.
| Additional Notes: |
| Power can instead come from powerstones if wielded; this applies to all enchantments. Most charges cost 1% of a powerstone.
It takes ten seconds at ground level, plus two seconds for each level below ground, to disenchant sigils. |
Rings
| Syntax |
| ENCHANT <spell> ON <ring> DISENCHANT <ring> |
To begin, you must place the ring on a mystic pentagram, and then enchant a spell onto it (one charge per enchant). Each such enchantment will drain your power reserves, unless you are lucky enough to be wielding a powerstone, in which case the power for the enchantment will be drained from the powerstone instead. If you want to change the spell that a ring is already charged with, you must DISENCHANT the ring first. Rings can hold up to 10 charges.
As your skill in enchantment progresses, you will be able to enchant rings with certain spells that you have already learned. To use an enchanted ring, you must first be wearing it. Also, it will need to be accessible (for instance, wearing gloves may prevent you from using a ring on your finger). As a general rule, depending on the spell, you must RUB the ring if you are targetting yourself or no target is required. Otherwise, POINT the ring at your target.
