Enchanting is the act of endowing objects with magical properties through the use of a soul, almost always with the use of a soul gem. An enchanted item's power diminishes with use, in which case additional souls may be used to replenish it. The strength of an enchanted item and the amount by which it can be recharged is directly related to the magnitude of the souls used.[1]
The effects of enchanted apparel may augment the wearer, and the effects of enchanted weapons may harm the target, and vice versa. Some enchanted equipment, such as magical staves, can be used to cast spells without expending magicka.
Artifacts, powerful items created by Aedra, Daedra or otherwise extraordinary circumstances, are often enchanted and can be recharged in the same way that the usual enchanted item can.
HistoryEdit
It is said that Raven Direnni created the art of enchantment in the First Era,[2][3] though other sources suggest that the enchantress merely revolutionized a process that, prior to her work, used to fail nine times out of ten.[4] There have been many styles or sets of enchantments throughout the years, each with their own properties. One such example is the Night's Silence, which was created by the mad wizard, Mesanthano. The energy still lingers in places such as his ruined tower on the coast of Glenumbra.[5]
?Edit
Runestones can be utilized in enchanting.[6][7][8] Rune-Language is not derived from any known historic or pre-Dawn culture.[9]
Binding Words can be utilized to destroy enchanted items.[10]
Crafting magical scrolls is considered a branch of enchanting.[11][12][13]
