The Basics
1. High background thaums make it easier to achieve high levels, though the casting difficulty will still be higher than normal.
2. To gain higher levels of enchantment, cast the spell repeatedly until the desired level is reached.
3. The heavier the item, the easier it will be to enchant to high levels.
4. Any enchantment over that of steady will leak thaums over time and degenerate to level five (steady).
This leakage is continuous, and occurs even when you are asleep (ie. not logged on).
Because the different levels outlined above are just indicators on a continuous scale and not discrete, how long a stage takes to degenerate to the next depends on how much enchantment is left in that stage.
A full stage of enchantment will take around 2 weeks to leak into the surroundings. (Sekiri's Home of Wizardry)
5. Magical Talismans (ie. completed deludes) will only degenerate to level six (intense).
Some Magical Talismans under a certain weight may still degenerate to steady.
5. Only witches and wizards can naturally see the enchantment on an object.
6. Priests of Gufnork and Sandelfon can use the ritual Detect Magic to see the enchant level of an object.
7. Mortals with some skill in magic.items.held.wands may use a 'short wand' to see the levels or get Detect Magic on a Faith Rod.\
The Effects
1. Enchanting something will make it more durable. ie. harder to damage.
2. The higher the enchant, the more durable.
3. Enchanted blorples do last longer than unenchanted ones.
4. Enchanted armour, in addition to being more durable, may also prove more effective in absorbing damage.
5. Enchanted weapons, in addition to being more durable, will become more powerful.
6. The higher the enchant, the more powerful the weapon.
7. Being more powerful these weapons will do more damage.
8. Being more powerful these weapons will be much harder to use.
9. Regarding special weapons such as Thieves Daggers, Holy Blade of Soyin, Wyrm Sword, Ornate Warhammer, etc.
These weapons will already have a certain level of enchantment when you purchase them.
Therefore a base enchant is pointless, please check the current enchant level before taking it higher.
