Enchanting was pretty nice. Getting the skill for it really helped with using it too, it would have taken me a while to figure out how to do enchanting the way it is meant to be done.

Now then, what did enchanting do? It was pretty simple, it was the art of changing the nature of an object by granting it a magical effect.

For example, giving a pair of gloves the [Fire Resistance] enchanting would involve you essentially granting it a magical code that is enforced by magical power and made permanent by permanently altering the state of the object.

Basically, it was coding magic with items.

It is the most effective when you have something to base it off of. For example, if I make fire resistance gloves they would be pretty bad simply because I don't have the skill fire resistance and have nothing to sample the enchantment off of.

But it is far easier for me to make the transmutation gloves, because I already have transmutation it is simply much easier to create(and thanks to the nature of transmutation circles too, just slap one on).

Putting more than one enchantment on an object is more difficult because of the reaction between the code and the conflict it can cause. For example, you wouldn't put water and sodium in the same bottle and expect a good outcome right? So you need more skill to be able to better integrate enchantments.

A helpful feature was my skills recording what I can do with my skills. For example with my Alchemy:

____________________________

Your skill in creating potions and other alchemical products.

Recipes:

[Minor Healing Potion V], [Minor Stamina Potion IV], [Minor Recovery Potion V]...

And with Enchanting the enchants I do successfully create get recorded in the skill, allowing me to able to replicate the success easily and improve my skill with it. For example my first and honestly my most important success.
