Enchanting Basics

Useful Terms

Activating (Activator Spell)

The process of powering or 'activating' a scribed sigil's latent properties by sending lunar mana into it. Currently there are three spells that function in this regard, they are in order from worst to best: Shadows, Dazzle, and Unleash. Unleash also slightly raises the magical quality of the enchantment.

Binding

The process of permantently sealing (or 'binding' as we call it) a sigil into an object, by FOCUSing your magical senses on the object until you feel the sigil become one with the object.

Celestial Sigil

Pictorial representations of heavenly bodies such as the three moons, the sun, or the thirteen planets.

Conjunctive Sigil

Any combination of 2 overlaying sigils or Celestial sigils.

Enchanter's Burin

Similar to a mundane burin used in metal etching, The Enchanter's Burin, through the gem in its tip, allows a sigil to be drawn both upon a target object as well as in the space around it.

Foundation Enchantment

Enchantments that are made using only one sigil, or 'foundation sigil' as they are called. Also referred to as 'Foundation-based Enchantments'.

Foundation Sigil

A sigil that represents a single constellation or other celestial body.

Grand Square

SCRIBing

The process of placing or 'drawing' a sigil on an item.

Sigil(s)

Pictorial representations of the constellations, 'drawn' to such precise geometric exactness that they can be used to evoke the raw power of the constellation upon which they are based.

Trine

Any combination of 3 overlaying sigils or Celestial sigils.

Quest

Talking to Xathvier in the Enchanting Shop in Throne City is the first step in becoming an enchanter. Mind you to do this quest you'll need certain ranks in a few skills for Xathvier to offer the test to you. Quest Guide.

Working With Sigils

Studying

You need to STUDY a sigil from one of 3 sources: the constellation in the sky, a scroll or a sigilbook. If you fail to memorize a sigil from the constellation, you have to wait 3 minutes before you can try that same constellation again. You can try again immediately with a scroll or sigilbook.

Scribing

To scribe the item, you need to hold your burin in your right hand and the item in your left hand. Syntax: SCRIBE [item]

Activation

Simply PREPARE your spell and then CAST at the item you are enchanting. You will sense the sigil activate if done properly.

Binding

To bind a sigil after activating it, simply FOCUS twice on it.
