A fount or mana fount is an piece of limited-use tools equipment used during the Enchanting process. A large variety of founts exist to deal with multiple types of crafting materials.

A fount serves as a focus for mana stream manipulation, and will impact the final product in several ways. One example is that founts can be manipulated by the user to change color on the fly.

Properties

The following fixed-value properties will vary from fount to fount depending on the quality of the base components used during crafting, the skill of the crafter and the configuration of the tools used.

• Each fount will have exhaustible charges.
• Each fount will be capable of working with either a Minor, Lesser, Greater or Major enchantment.
• Each fount will be capable of working with Common, Uncommon, Rare or Ultra Rare base component materials.

Color

You can SHAKE a fount to bonus one of the statistics on the final product. The color chosen will be random on each SHAKE. The weighting effect varies by enchantment for each color available. An example for weapon flares would be: Magnitude/Proc Chance/Durability. The following table lists the color associated with the property that is bonused:

Color	Bonus To	Bonus Type	Notes
Gray	Artificing, Fluff & Utility	Durability	for trinkets (and others?) this means more charges
Red	Artificing, Fluff & Utility	Magnitude	improvement to potency (?)
Red	Artificing, Magical Foci	Magnitude	improves the strength of the effect (ie. more damage or accuracy)
Yellow	Artificing, Fluff & Utility	Activation	makes it easier to use/activate, conservation of charges
Yellow	Artificing, Magical Foci	Activation	decreases activation roundtime, in addition to any effect on skill requirements
