Enchanting Profession
|
|
The enchanting profession does as the name says, it enchants items. Almost all enchants are able to be created with this profession.
Interface
The interface for creating enchants is the enchanting table. To make an enchanting table, a stonemason of Proficient level needs 4 diamonds, 6 obsidian and 1 book. When right clicking an enchanting table you will get a GUI like this:

Glyphs
Glyphs are symbols that are created in the enchanting interface with one of 4 items. These are lapiz, gold, emeralds and diamonds. The shapes of the Glyphs are what decides what enchant you will be making. Example is something like below (caution, that glyph does not create an enchant):

Enchanting a tool
After creating the Glyph a player leaves the interface and shift right-clicks the enchanting table with the tool in hand. There are six things that can happen when shift right-clicking:
You do not have enough level to enchant with the material - Some low levels don’t allow the use of Gold, Emerald or Diamonds in enchanting. (place image here) You do not have enough level to do the enchant - Some low levels can’t do some of the enchants. http://i.gyazo.com/91c84565bc62d11b56167179cf17133c.png
You do not have enough level to place more enchants on an enchanted item - As you level up you are able to place more than one enchant on an item http://i.gyazo.com/fc535c4147f3e5937f149a2729fa5ea1.png
You have not made a Glyph that works - If you make a Glyph that is of the wrong http://i.gyazo.com/4916b9cc7f835c8152988d64de8ff378.png
You have tried to make a Glyph that failed a few moments ago - This is to stop players from trying over and over again in a short time scale.

You have another workstation doing something - You can not make an enchant while you’re doing other things. (place image here) You have started to enchant the item - The glyph is of a good shape and the enchanting process has began. http://i.gyazo.com/39aca84400d4785340b1ec0628301f7c.png
Materials, tools and levels
The type of Material that is used on the tool and to make the enchant, and the skill level you are on the profession will have a say in the power of the enchant. Using better materials to make the glyph (such as emeralds or diamonds) will have a better chance of getting higher power enchants. The type of material of the tool will also raise those chances, Gold tools and armor (including golden studded leather armor) being the type that can receive the biggest powered enchants.
When a tool is being made, the interface shows as following:

The “X” in the type of enchant, does not mean that the enchant is power 10, but that you don’t know what power the enchant will be. Having bookshelves near your enchanting table raises the chances of the power being higher.
Enchanted books
Instead of enchanting a tool directly, you can enchant a book instead. Enchanted books will give the user the choice to select the tool to use the enchant on. This means that an enchanter can sell or trade enchants directly, without having to place them in tools. To use an enchanted book, simply place the book in the enchanting table GUI, leave the GUI then shift right-click with the tool in hand.

Rewrite
The Glyphs!
What they are: The glyphs are symbols that when inscribed into tools create an unique effect. They have to be made of specific materials or they won't work. Badly made symbols will not work well or won't work at all. Each shape of Glyph has a different result, but only a few shapes work.
Limits in power: Their power is limited which means at most it can be used in heavy armor, and not big things such as walls nor buildings and the like. Placing too many symbols in a tool will cause a sort of short circuit which would destroy one of the glyphs. Better made glyphs have better chance of working with other glyphs. The glyphs also do not seem to work if done in living beings. Discovery: After the return to Aos (the world where Aegis, Athera, Thales and Vailor are) the descendants discovered that some glyphs bestowed different properties into tools. The glyphs shapes seem to be different with location though, as they change and some even disappear as the descendants move from land to land. These glyphs did not exist in Aegis times, so it's assumed something changed as Aegis was destroyed.
How it works: The glyphs are made of special materials. Shaping the materials into the glyphs allows them to collect aura which will create something alike to enchanting in some cases. Things like improving durability and raising sharpness of iron are examples of what it does. Other things such as attracting fish have happened. It seems something like a natural magic, alike to how alchemy is both said to be natural and magical at the same time. This also means that glyphs cannot be turned on and off, they are always working.
Forbidden Glyphs: Like parts of alchemy, there would also be forbidden glyphs. Besides they requiring great skill to make, they would also be considered something unnatural or akind to dark magic. These would be glyphs which would consume something to give its effects.
Differences from Runesmithing: Runesmithing allows for choosing of logic to their runes. By combining the runes in certain ways, a runesmith is almost able to create a code or logic behind it. Runes are also able to create movement, such as doors, and connection with descendants, such as prerequisites for something to happen. Glyphs on the other hand are always active, they cannot be turned on or off.
Differences from Enchanting: Enchanting can create a lot of things that glyphs can, yet the biggest difference is the amount of things that Enchanting can do. Imbuing artifacts and tools with magical spells, has far more uses and far more room for change than the fixed glyphs. Illusion enchants, mind enchants, elemental enchants, transmutation, warding, many things that cannot be done by glyphs can be done by Enchanting. Enchants can also have a sort of logic to them, in which case they wouldn't be always active, unlike the glyphs which cannot be turned off.
