Enchanting

“Enchanting” is the process of cre-
ating a magic item. It is a special kind
of spell casting; see Casting Spells
(p. 235). The caster must use ceremo-
nial magic (see Ceremonial Magic,
p. 238), and he and any assistants
must know both the Enchant spell
(see p. 480) and the specific spell being
put on the item at level 15+ – or at
level 20+, in a low-mana area.
Unskilled spectators cannot con-
tribute energy.
Enchanting always requires time
and energy. A particular enchant-
ment might also require a specific
item or material (e.g., a gem), or the
expenditure of cash for “generic”
magic supplies.
A given magic item may carry any
number of spells. Each one requires a
separate enchantment. The presence
of an enchantment has no effect on
later enchantments.
