Residuum and Enchanting/Disenchanting Items
To use this method you use
Residuum and the "lost spell" of
Enchant Magic item on a very finely-crafted item (or you can use
Fabricate with the raw materials) and direct the creation of a magic item (working with the DM to finalize design and possible failures)
This is still not currently known to the party or much of the world as they still need to find the missing spells.
Enchant Magic Item Spell
There are many ways to Craft Items, magical or otherwise. When it comes to crafting magical items there are many routes as well.
One is very complicated and hit-or-miss where you need a formula, time, money, and items.
There is a system where one creates focal stones and through a complicated, time-consuming and expensive process enchant items.
There is another system of Gem Magic where you can enchant gems and then use sockets to change the enchantment as well.
And here we explore a different system utilizing Residuum. With a bit of Residuum it is possible to create a magic item or upgrade other magic items. It is always a risk and still takes a bit of time, but nothing like the other systems. If you have just a bit of Residuum and knowledge of the Disenchant Magic Item you can always make more of this magical dust.
This is currently a lost form of crafting, if used it is still done in secret.
Historically when magic was too easy to obtain or manipulate it led to issues. Governments feared people rising up and the people feared governments using these to control them too easily. So, if anyone has access to these spells or how to use them -- it is a very well kept secret.
