===Fount and Tool Creation===
== Notes from Kodius ==
:{|class="wikitable"
Founts are tools used during enchanting that control how the completed enchantment manages mana. Founts change the complexity (size) of the enchantment. The easier-to-use and longer-lasting enchantments will not "fit" on anything less than a material with high enchantability.

===Artificing Improvement===
In this way, Artificing is like Blacksmithing. They'll be producing the lion's share of tools for the trade.

===Enchantment Maintenance===
Foci start with Holy (it is the most difficult). Each type unlocks the crafting ability for Foci of that mana type. Combined Foci allow for multi-mana ritual foci. Weaponized Foci are TM Foci and other things we have in mind. Exotic Foci may refer to Sorcerous Foci someday.

-- Awakened Sigil Comprehension and Fount Annealing are not working and Enchanting Maintenance, and Enchanting Manipulation appear to not be working as of 5/11/2020.
Advanced Artificing will produce more utility enchanted items.


Runestones and Wands are self explanatory I hope.

Enchanting Tools refers to Burins, Braziers and other items used in the process.

Exotic Artificing is a catch-all for future expansion.

Some artifacts will need periodic repair, so there are some techniques for that. Still debating how to handle this. Most artifacts will be temporary in some way or another. I'm guessing we'll have a Min/Max durability/uses/timelimit. Each repair lowers the max until the item breaks.

The last 3 techniques give bonuses to the crafting process.

==Techniques==
===Sigil Comprehension===
This technique bonuses Sigil harvesting and usage. Much like we have arrange/skinning bonuses in the appropriate Carving and Tailoring Disciplines.
