Enchantments are minor mystical properties and results of great craftmanship. They alter items properties in many beneficial ways.
Strength of an enchantment is rated as Known, Famed or Legendary. Single item can hold one Famed or Legendary enchantment and up to two Known enchantments.
Binding
Characters and npcs with Gift of Binding are able to enchant an item with an essence. Binding requires a Downtime action and a Binding Test. Difficulty is based on desired strength of the enchantment.
10: Known
20: Famed
30: Legendary
Binding requires an Essence. These are items that can be found during adventures. Type of the Essence decides which enchantments can be gained by Binding.
• Mortal Essences are rare materials, fine schematics and monster trophies
• Outer Essences are distilled magic and strange things fallen from the starless night
• Spirit Essences can be felt as a presence within object
Identifying Enchantment
Item properties can be identified by making an Attunement Test against Difficulty 10 as an action taking Significant Time. Identify one enchantment and its strength for each Degree.
Alternatively use the item and learn the enchantments through practice.
Cursed Items
Cursed item knows to stay hidden for as long as possible as it digs its roots into wielders soul.
• Whenever hidden Curse Stirs don’t increase Burden, instead Bearer makes a note of how many times Curse has Stirred
• When number of Stirs raises to a value, 3 or 5 for example, Curse strikes increasing wielders Burden by value and provoking a Burden Test. On a failed Test Curse from the item spreads
• Character cannot voluntarily free themselves from a Cursed Item until Curse is broken
• Being without the Item will cause the Curse to Stir on Rest
