Enchantment

Revision as of 19:45, 2 July 2018 by Brauthik (talk | contribs)
Due to Enchantment's finicky and difficult nature, its study is only suitable for bards versed in Highmagic, 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.

Fist

Syntax:
ENCHANT SIGIL FIST

To Use: ATTACH <fist sigil> TO <item>

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.

Additional Notes:
Power can instead come from powerstones if wielded; this applies to all enchantments. Most charges cost 1% of a powerstone.
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:
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 Use: POINT <ring> AT <target>
RUB <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.

Pentagram

Syntax:
EVOKE PENTAGRAM [PSI]

The Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram is the most basic evocation of High Magic. Casting it will protect you against most attacks against your person. Alternatively, you can use it to protect you against psionic attack.

Void

Syntax:
EVOKE VOID <target>

At the edges of the cosmos is the void, the Ain Soph from which all spheres manifest. Evoking its power will destroy protective pentagrams or magic circles.

Flame

Syntax:
ENCHANT SIGIL FLAME

To Use: ATTACH <flame sigil> TO <item>

Ingredients: silver 2

At a mystic pentagram you can create flame sigils at a small cost of power reserves. The flame sigil will, when attached to an item prevent anyone from picking it up.

Syntax:
DISENCHANT SIGIL FLAME
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.

Kingdom

If you have the skill of Malkuth in HighMagic, you may now enchant the spell of the Kingdom upon jewelery as you would any other spell. Activating the kingdom will provide automatic clotting of bleeding wounds.

Bracelets

You can now charge bracelets, which can hold 20 charges.
See AB ENCHANTMENT RINGS.

Beauty

If you have the skill of Netzach in HighMagic, you may now enchant the spell of the Beauty upon jewelery as you would any other spell. Activating the beauty spell will provide automatic regeneration of the ego.

Key

Syntax:
ENCHANT SIGIL KEY

To Use: Put it on the ground

Ingredients: gold 2

At a mystic pentagram you can create key sigils at a small cost of power reserves. The key sigil works to automatically lock all doors in the room when anyone exits it.

Syntax:
DISENCHANT SIGIL KEY
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.

Necklaces

You can now charge necklaces, which can hold 30 charges.
See AB ENCHANTMENT RINGS.

Focus

If you know the spell of Hod in High Magic, you are able to enchant the spell of 'focus' or the Powerful Mind. This enchantment works differently from other enchants in that you may only enchant it on baubles. Also, using the enchantment does not use charges; rather, charges decrement at the rate of one per Lusternian month. Baubles with such enchantment can hold a maximum of 10 charges.

The Powerful Mind clears away any dramatic blocks to debates.

Scrolls

Syntax:
ENCHANT <scroll>

ENCHANT <spell> ON <magictome>

You may enchant charge magical script upon scrolls, which can hold up to 50 charges. If the item enchanted is a magic tome, you must specify which script is being charged.

Perfection

If you have the skill of Tipheret in HighMagic, you may now enchant the spell of the Perfection upon jewelery as you would any other spell. Activating the spell will provide automatic mana regeneration.

Greatrobes

Syntax:
ENCHANT <clothing>

If a piece of clothing is classified as a great robe, then it can be enchanted to increase protection against physical damage, much like a blacksmith forges armour. Keep enchanting it until it can be enchanted no further for the greatest results. Each such enchantment drains power.

Mercy

If you have the skill of Gedulah in HighMagic, you may now enchant the spell of the the Merciful Hand upon jewelery as you would any other spell. Activating the spell will provide automatic health regeneration.

You may also create a dreamcatcher out of 3 rope and 3 silver commodities. The item must be placed in the inscribed enchanter's circle.

Palm

Syntax:
ENCHANT SIGIL PALM
