Disenchanter

Disenchanters are enchanters who specialize in remove katarite from enchanted items rather than bonding them together. Separating katarite from enchanted items is a delicate process. An untrained mage has a better chance of destroying the gemstone than deattaching it from the item.

Because all disenchanters start out as enchanters, there is often a misconception among the uniformed that every enchanter is also a disenchanter.
