Enchanting

   

Magic Scrolls

  Enchantment Scrolls are special items that are imbued with a magical ability that a character can create, sell, or buy. The enchantment can be an assortment of magical effects, bound to a sheet of paper with formulaic arcane markings.  
In order to create an enchantment scroll, you will need:
  Proficiency in Calligraphy
  • You will need to know how to finely draw runes in order to retain the magical effect.
  • Time
  • The time you will need to enchant will be your number of Enchantment Slots that you have per Time Slot.
  • Magic
  • You are able to either use your innate magic and spell slots, or the magic of gems.
  • The Enchantment
  • You would have either seen the enchantment, have had it described, or a scroll to be able to copy it over.
  •   You can only apply an enchantment to a mundane item of tier 1.5 (or Higher) or a "Reinforced" tier 1 material item.   An item can support up to 3 enchantments at a time. While an item bears an enchantment, it requires attunement. You do not gain any benefits of an enchantment unless you are attuned to the item bearing it.   THESE ENCHANTMENTS ARE NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE, BUT YOUR CHARACTER WILL KNOW OF THEIR EXISTANCE IF THEY WERE TO LOOK ENCHANTMENTS UP AT A GUILD LIBRARY. Check the store to see which enchantments are available.    

    Enchanting:

      Once you decide on waht enchantment it is that you would like to recreate, here are the steps:  

    1. Choose if you’re making a blueprint or a scroll

     

      Blueprint

      You can re-imbue this to apply the same enchantment multiple times.
      A blueprint costs the full price of the enchantment.  

      Scroll

      This is a one-time use. Once the magic is used up, all that’s left is a regular piece of paper. These scrolls are good for selling.
      A scroll costs 1/4 of the original enchantment's price.
     

    2. Time Cost

      The time that you will need will be based on your Enchantment Slots, which you have a set number that you can use during a Time Slot.   You have a set amount of Enchantment slots equal to your proficiency bonus. Gaining acess to a dedicated library can help you gain an additional number of Enchantment slots equal to half your proficiency bonus. This allows you to complete the enchantment process much faster than normally.   The magic-based guilds usually have their own libraries, but they also have their own specialties.   The amount of enchantment slots required to create a scroll equals: the full price of your enchantment, divided by 10.  

    3. Magic Cost

      Magic Scroll Cost Reduction Table

        Depending on if you have spell slots available to you because of your class or no, there are two different ways to reduce the magic cost of a spell scroll.  

      Spell Slots:

      Each enchantment requires a minimum spell slot level. If you are a spell caster, you can use your magic (spell slots) to create the scroll. You can also instead decide to use a higher spell slot instead of the minimum to reduce the magic requirement. Every spell slot above the required grants an additional 1/4 reduction. If you use a spell slot at least 2x the level required, it will halves the spell slots required.    

      Gems:

      If you are not a spell caster and/or don’t have spell slots, you can use gems to imbue magic into the scrolls. The gem required needs to be of equal or greater value required, and the gems are expended after use.         *Gems of this price or value dont exist, but you can always use a higher value gem to still reduce the cost. Here you can find a list of all Gems that exist in the game.
             

    4. Apply the enchantment

      With a completed scroll, you are ready to go. You can sell the scroll, or apply it to your weapon right then and there to your desired item.   Your character can spend a minute transferring the enchantment onto their weapon, armor, or other items that the enchantment can apply to.
