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.
